"Finding a competent and professional Electrician was important to us and we wanted to do our homework first before making a choice. We reached out to 3 Electricians with good ratings on Angie's List and Eric with Home Pro Electric was the first to respond to us and he was flexible to accommodate our schedule. We were only looking to get a free estimate for the work we needed done at first, but, as Eric was diagnosing the issues he started getting his hands dirty was able to quickly resolve the problems we were having with our outdoor lights, ceiling fan and switches. He was personable, professional and knowledgeable. Needless to say, we hired him on the spot. He was also respectful of our home and came in wearing booties as not to get our rugs dirty. His prices were also fair and quite reasonable. We will continue to utilize his services for additional electrical needs on our home. I am so relieved we have finally found an electrician we can trust and depend on and will gladly refer him to our friends!"

"Flagstone came and replaced wood flooring in three rooms that had been damaged by water. I explained that this would need to be completed quickly and they understood my situation and completed the job. I also had Flagstone complete some small electrical projects while onsite. These guys really are a company that can take care of all my home needs. I plan on having Flagstone complete more work for me in the spring."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.
