"New to the area, I needed a hookup for an emergency generator and EV charger. Cole came to my home, took the time to discuss different options and answer questions, and provided a detailed, written estimate, all the same day as my initial inquiry. The project was completed within a few days. His price was very competitive and his work meticulous. A true professional."

"Great experience from start to finish. My wife and I needed to have 2 ceiling fans and light kits installed. The work was scheduled quickly and TFC Electrical Services was even able to do the job earlier than expected. Tom and Ralph arrived as scheduled, on time and we were given a fair price quote. They had to install electrical wiring and box in our bedroom ceiling prior to installing the fan and light. They took the time to protect our furniture and floors by covering everything with protective tarps. Additionally, the installed a fan and light kit in an adjacent staircase. The concern and respect that they showed for our home was admirable and appreciated. The installations were neat, clean and expertly completed. They completed all the work in about 3 hours. TFC Electrical Services should be a model for “ALL” other electrical contractors. Any future electrical work in my home will be offered to this company. Thank you Theresa, Tom and Ralph."

"It was disappointing to not have John come do the project. Initially the job was to install recess lights, repair motion sensors and install light posts. Turns out that the person John sent in his place only did the recess lights with no mention or attempt to perform the other jobs. I had to keep reminding him to adjust the high hat base to line up with and conceal the obvious gaps made (the holes in the ceiling appeared slightly wider than the circumference of the high hats installed. It took him 5 hrs to install the 6 lights which I though was lengthy given there was no electrical connections made. Entire process was just different from what I was expecting which is why I took away 1 star"

"My home was destroyed by Sandy and needless to say had to be rewired including a new electrical panel. I also had a generator wiring done and all my lighting fixtures. He is very meticulous and clean. I highly recommend Ryan for any electrical needs."

"It was a great experience working with Anthony. Not only is he a very nice guy, he is an extremely knowledgeable electrician. Before Anthony came by the house, I had another electrician come by and say they would need to put holes in the wall and run wires to fix a problem and it would take longer to complete the job and cost $425. Anthony came by and quickly diagnosed the issue and said it was a very simple and quick fix. He wouldn’t have to put holes in the wall or run any wires. Anthony charged $50 to do the job plus $25 for the price of the part, so that saved me a lot of money, time and hassle. He even drove to Home Depot and purchased the part for me. Anthony is a master at his craft. He has 20 years of experience and runs his own family business. I highly recommend him for all your electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.
