"I had an amazing experience with this electrician. He was extremely professional, took the time to explain everything, and made sure my Level 2 Tesla charger was installed perfectly. Not only was his work top-notch, but his prices were also very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable EV charger installation!"

"Very good experience. We needed a 200’ length of buried conduit installed between our breaker panel in the garage and a motorized front gate on the driveway. The electricians arrived on schedule, did a neat, professional job and left the work area spotless - no packaging or offcuts were left behind. Very happy with the result. Recommended."

"We had our electrical panel upgraded and expanded, and had an EV charger and electric oven/range outlet installed. Paul and his crew were prompt, thorough, and professional in their work. They explained each step of the process with us and walked us through all the changes to make sure we understood what was done and how to use it. We will be hiring them for all our electrical work in the future!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
