"Fast and super helpful. Gave me a proposal right away. Started work same week. If deviations were needed, was specific on what and why. Reasonable and fair pricing, and honest about their capabilities and areas of expertise. Professional team and went out the way to provide additional references for other concerns. I also appreciated the video Fabio took to show me the before and after, especially in areas I was unable to see."

"I had a great experience with Albert. He was extremely professional and easy to communicate with throughout the entire job. He clearly explained what needed to be done, kept me informed, and made sure everything was completed properly. He installed several outlets and fixtures in my home. He was careful, clean, and respectful of my space, leaving everything neat when the job was finished. I highly recommend Albert and this company for anyone looking for reliable, professional electrical work."

Customers say: Quality work

"Artique Constructions did an amazing job with my bathroom and kitchen remodeling. Can not recommend enough for their quality of work and commitment to deliver to perfection. I chose very modern high end designs and their work was impeccable. I would have spent more than double if I had gone for anyone else. I got complete remodeling of kitchen(floor/cabinets/island/pantry/installation of all kitchen appliances/backsplash/open shelves/led ceiling lights) bathroom(bathtub/vanity/floor/bath tiles/built-in shelves/toilet), changed all switches and electric boxes, trims throughout the house, paint, door knobs, hinges, custom wall paneling. Garry made the house look like a million bucks houses featured in magazine. He is very trustworthy and patient. His attention to detail is amazing. Would suggest anyone who wants to get their house in amazing shape with no hidden costs Garry is the person to go to."

"Mr Haney was a blessing in its truest sense. He arrived on time at 2pm as he said he would. That was important to me because of my tight schedule. He replaced my worn outdated electrical outlets in my living room. Mr Haney noticed the newly purchased air conditioner still partially in the packaging on the floor of my living room. I told him that I was waiting on someone to get back to me about installation. He must have seen the perspiration bubbles on my forehead. It was 102°F outside but it felt like 150°F inside, these old brick homes really traps the heat in the house. Mr Haney offered to do the installation. The rest is history. I, along with everyone else in my household appreciates him for keeping us cool under these extreme temperatures. He's neat and efficient. I should also mention his strength. The air conditioner is about 100 pounds he' picked it up as if it was a rag doll. I knew that I made the right decision after we spoke over the phone, he was polite & mild manner"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home. 

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
