"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."

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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
