"Jared Vassallo came in my home to install an exhaust fan in one of the bathrooms. Jared knows his profession very well. He knew exactly how to install the ceiling fan, and where the vent should go. Finished his job quickly! Great guy! ?"

"Hired HomePro Electric to install a transfer switch for a portable generator. Erik did a great job. Showed up on time. Did an excellent job and explained how to switch our electric panel from the grid to the generator really clearly. I will definitely hire him again for any future electrical work that I need."

"I had the pleasure of working with Claurence, the owner of Arc Services, to install a home charging station for my 2024 Acura ZDX, and I could not be more impressed with his work. From the very beginning, Claurence was extremely communicative, professional, and thorough. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of my questions, which gave me confidence in the process. What stood out most was his problem-solving ability. The charger required running electrical lines farther than usual, and Claurence came up with a creative and efficient solution that worked perfectly. He completed the entire project in just a few hours, and the quality of his work was excellent. Beyond his technical expertise, Claurence is humble, knowledgeable, and a true professional. His pricing was competitive, and the value of his service far exceeded expectations. I would absolutely recommend Arc Services to anyone in need of electrical work. I will also be reaching out to him again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.

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.

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.

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.
