"Very responsive and easy to work with. High quality work, has extensive electrical experience. Also provided and installed whole house back up generator."
"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!"
"Had them install a interlock kit on my breaker to run my generator. They were extremely professional pricing was almost half of what other contractors on here were charging. I have so more projects for this summer and will definitely be reaching out to them. Thanks again for the great work."
"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!"

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.
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.
If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.
Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
