"The electrician clearly explained what he was doing and why. He did not do anything additional until he had my approval. He also pointed out a rigged outlet fixture for a generator and identified it as dangerous and asked if he could remove it. We have more work to be done and we will have them back."

"I used Call Me Electric because they were highly reviewed on angie's list, and after using them their reviews are right on. they are amazing at what they do, and very prompt and professional. i had a light post installed outside, a light fixture installed at my front door and back door, electrical outlets repaired outside, light fixture installed in my office, and had my basement lights replaced with led lights. All the work was done just the way we wanted it. I want to think Ralph, John, Andrew, and Nick for being very professional and doing a great job. i highly recommend them for all your electric work and i will be using them in the future. thanks again."

"Jack and his crew were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. From running new wiring into an existing ceiling for ceiling lights, upgrading my elective panel, installing ceiling fixtures, and installing new outlets, Jack and his crew were able to perform the tasks efficiently and Iâ m very happy with the outcome. Wilburforce was also more affordable than other electricians in the area. I would highly recommend this business and I will be using them again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
