"I had to call 5 different electrical contractors to do work in my co-op. I found some off of Angie's list and home advisor. I had contractors who never showed up, people who never got back to me after showing up. Some quotes were lower, and one quote was higher. At the end of the day Beshaun was on time, prepared, professional and provided a detailed estimate. He showed up fully prepared to do the work. His workers were professional. They got the job done in time as promised and cleaned up after themselves. I felt comfortable enough to leave them in my home while I was at work. I had him install 4 sets of track lights, and over head lights in 2 closets and one room that had none, along with a ceiling fan. All new wiring had to be run for everything."

"was happy to hire Josent Electric Corp to do a full electricity service on my single-family home not long ago. My experience with them was nothing but great, from the first conversation to the final inspection. I'm excited to tell others who are thinking about using their services about my great experience with them. From the beginning, I thought Josent Electric Corp was very professional. The team showed up on time, was polite, and knew a lot. They took the time to learn about my needs and came up with answers that worked for my home and my budget. The way they handled the project showed how knowledgeable they were, showing that they had a deep understanding of electricity systems and current safety standards. The work that Josent Electric Corp did was truly excellent. They did an excellent job on every part of the job, from improving the wiring to putting in new lights and safety equipment. Their attention to detail was truly impressive; they made sure that all of the work was done correctly and quickly, leaving no room for mistake. Throughout the project, communication was smooth. At every step, the team kept me up to date on their work and explained difficult electrical ideas in a way that I could understand. They told me in great detail what they were doing, which made me trust their skills and the quality of the service they were giving. Being honest about costs, timelines, and possible problems was a nice change, and I liked it. Josent Electric Corp. put safety first in everything they did. They made sure that all installations and fixes were safe by following strict safety rules. Along with being very careful to keep my home clean, the team was also very respectful of the work area. They made sure to clean up every day, which didn't get in the way of my daily life too much. Working with Josent Electric Corp has been a great experience for me. Their dedication to quality, along with their skilled staff and focus on the customer, makes them stand out from others in the same field. The electricity work done on my house has not only made it safer and more useful, but it has also raised its value. Anyone who needs dependable and top-notch electrical services should definitely hire Josent Electric Corp. Because they do great work and have great customer service, they are the best choice for all your electricity needs. Giving them access to my home was one of the best choices I've ever made, and I'm very happy with how things turned out."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
