"I cannot say enough about Mustafa! He came on a Wednesday to assess the work I needed done (installation of exterior nest cam with flood lights and troubleshoot a breaker issue), and, because I was in such a bind he offered to come on Sunday, his day off! He ended up texting me Thursday with availability Friday evening, a HUGE relief! He arrived Friday as promised had the light installed in all of 30 minutes, and then spent the next 2 and half hours running up and down two flights of stairs to thoroughly troubleshoot the problem between the top floor and the fuse box in the basement. He was able to repair the issue very quickly and easily once it was found. He put everything back as it was and left the area neat and tidy! When came to pay, his cost was extremely reasonable, less than I anticipated! In addition, Mustafa is extremely professional and reliable, but also wicked personable and friendly! Hire Mustafa the next time you need an electrician; I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
"Brandon came out this morning to assess the issue. He was very polite and professional. Maximus and Jon were my installers. They were professional, polite and got the job done timely. Great guys!"

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
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.
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.
Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency.
Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
