"We needed a subpanel installed to our electrical system and wiring extended into our garage for the installation of a Tesla wall charger. Wilfredo & Dennis did the job for Spirelli. They were prompt, polite, COVID-safe, and did a great job."

"i recently had a tesla charger installed, and i am extremely satisfied with the service. the electrician did an outstanding job he was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the installation much faster than i expected while maintaining excellent quality. the work was clean, efficient, and everything was installed perfectly. on top of that, his pricing was very reasonable compared to other estimates i received. it’s not often you find someone who delivers great workmanship, works efficiently, and offers affordable rates. i highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or an ev charger installation."

"We had a great experience working with JAB Electrical. From the very beginning, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We contacted them to install LED recessed lighting throughout our home, and after getting a few estimates, we decided to go with them because of their fair pricing and the confidence they gave us in the quality of their work. The installation was completed quickly and efficiently, and they paid close attention to every detail. They were respectful of our home, cleaned up after the job, and made sure everything was working perfectly before they left. The new recessed lighting has completely transformed the look of our space, and we couldn’t be happier with the results."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
