"My electrician showed up two consecutive weeks for separate projects on time and got the work done so efficiently . Gerrick cleaned up and left the work areas spotless. He also accommodated my first request on short notice since I had people staying at my home the following weekend. Awesome customer service and the work done was flawlessly."

"Jim Butler is a friendly, on-time worker. He took one look at the fixture that I wanted installed and said, "I've installed these before. " My fears of placing the crystals were over. He did it all. I would have him back anytime! Myrtle Delaney-Kipfer"

"They are very skilled, knowlegeable, and professional. I really appreciate their flexibility in the installation process by using in two phases to accommodate my request to install sooner if there are cancellations. The electrician who installed the transfer switch wore a mask and left the area cleaner than he found it :) I am sure the generator installation will go just as smoothly as the transfer switch install."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.
