"John and his team were excellent. Of the electricians I got quotes from, John was the only one who noticed that some existing breakers in my panel didn’t match the panel’s manufacturer and shouldn’t have been there. His team arrived on time, was thorough, and focused on solving the problem I brought them, with no upselling or scare tactics. On top of that, the price for my EV charger install was excellent. Highly recommend, and would work with again in a heartbeat."

"All I can say is that Luis and Eric are amazing! They installed my JuiceBox 40 amp electric car charger in an hour and half! Super professional, very clean work, and I appreciated that they wore boot covers so my house wouldnâ t get dirty. Since they ran the wire through my basement they had to remove my ceiling panels, after the install they cleaned the floors and installed the ceiling panels back like it never happened! All in all amazing company, super fair price compared to other companies, and their communication with us was beyond amazing. Dominic came by yesterday for an estimate and it was installed in less than 24 hours! I cannot say anymore amazing things about this company and will be a repeat customer for my other projects. 5/5 STARS! â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ Summary: 1. Very Fair price compared to competitors 2. Highly skilled and professional work 3. Free Estimate 4. Will not leave you in the dark and will communicate with you throughout the process and any questions you may have. 5. Accepts Credit Cards"

"I live in Queens and had Tom and Nick come by for a variety of electrical jobs, ranging from smaller items such as installing new switches throughout the house to rewiring of an electrical panel. They did an excellent job, and when my old electrical panel gave out, they were able to install a replacement pretty much on the spot."

"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."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

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.

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.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.
