"I had a whole-house generator installed by an electrical contractor. It was wired incorrectly. I made an appointment with Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY. They diagnosed the issue, ordered the parts, and installed them in a reasonable time. This was not their problem, but they treated it like it was. I am very impressed with their professionalism. Their employee Brian treated our home like it was his. When he had to enter our home, he put covers on his boots so he wouldn't track mud and snow into our home. He gave us an ETA for when he would come to do the work and explained the billing. If I need any electrical work done in the future, it will be done by Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY."

Customers say: Quality work

"Only one of three companies who returned my call. Replaced all CFGI outlets per my request. One was not working (reason for the call). Pointed out an original installation issue in the kitchen and fixed. Replaced a Fluorescent Ballast. Reset an outlet box that was not set properly in the wall. As part of their service, they did a free circuit breaker box inspection. Reasonable priced."

"Electrical work was done well in advance of the roofing job.  Electrician returned at the end of the ice melting cable installation job to make an alteration to the outlets which was a decision made during the roofing and installation job.  Electrician was very neat and accomodating.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.
