"I needed to update my electric desperately and as soon as I spoke with Art my mind was put at ease. Everything was explained to me in a way I was easily able to understand and know what the process would be from beginning to end. I had all of my questions answered in a timely and friendly manner. The work that was done was amazing and all at a reasonable price... more than worth the money and I would recommend them to anyone. They are the only electricians I will call to do any work from now on!!"

"Project was replacement of breaker box and electrical riser (the wires on the side of the house from the power company) whose insulation deteriorated and caused water leakage into breaker box during heavy rains. Got three proposals and went with Schedel. Very satisfied. Their honesty, flexibility, and punctuality were commendable. Unlike other contractors, they don't listen to the radio while working. Their quote included relabeling the circuit breakers, a plus since other contractors charge extra. Finally, their quote was significantly lower than the other two contractors. And the payment terms were flexible, to say the least."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.
