"I was very pleased with the service I received today. The electrician was very professional. Scheduling went very smoothly, and I got a very quick response back after sending a message. I was pleasantly surprised on how quickly I was able to get an apt. I feel very satisfied on the electrical work that was done. I would use this company again and I would also recommend them to anyone that is looking for an electrician"

Very knowledgeable, and someone I immediately trusted and felt blessed by the introduction and service he provided to me and my family. I would strongly, recommend Reliable Power Systems and will certainly continue to call on them."

"I received a return call within an hour to schedule a time for the electrician to come over & give me an estimate. Quick turnaround and had my project complete quickly. Pat came out and looked @ our existing box and breakers and tried to complete the project as cost effectively as possible. Due to the age of our existing box it was not possible to simply change the breakers and he had to install a whole new electrical box. Even though he had to install the new box he completed the project in one day. Dan was very personable and professional in rendering his services. Thank you a job well done."

"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

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.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.
