"Called them 745 Tuesday morning. Outside temp about 0, so had to get furnace working again quickly. They arrived within 1 hour as promised. Breaker was about 40 years old, not repairable, had to install new breaker panel as old units not available for repair. Not surprised as I had heard this was an issue. They got parts for new full breaker panel, had old panel torn out and furnace back on by 2PM that day. Also had optional whole house surge protection installed for $500 additional above $1800 for breaker panel. 200 amp service."

"Mike Powers responded to my query within seconds. I hadn't even had a chance to create my Angi password yet. Unlike other contractors, he gave me a quote within a week. (One contractor came out twice, then never gave me a quote or answered my follow-up emails. Guess he didn't want my business.) The biggest delay was obtaining the generator I wanted, a Kohler instead of a Generac. But everything was great on Mike's end. His electrical crew was thorough and efficient, as were the sub-contracted plumbers. Now, I just hope I have no need to use it, although I am confident it will work."

"Great! They were able to schedule in four days. They were on time. Very quick and efficient. They cleaned up after their work. I felt like they were expensive but I was able to use a coupon from their website."

"Installed a ceiling fan in 30 minutes. Informed me that the previous ceiling fan installed by another electrical company was installed without all the screws and the ceiling fan was the wrong type for a slanted ceiling fan it was a dangerous situation for me. He was courteous, prompt, competent and professional. He does maintenance work also and I hired him for some other projects"

"Steller Construction did a FANTASTIC job giving us the master bathroom of our dreams. They were clean and courteous throughout the entire project and managed to change our dated 80's bathroom into a modern luxury bathroom and my favorite room in the house! They stayed on budget and were able to complete the job in a timely manor. I highly recommend them for all of your construction needs."

"Highly recommend this company. The owner called me on a Saturday afternoon to discuss my project after I submitted my request about an hour earlier on Angi. A technician, Carter, was onsite on Monday and was professional, courteous, and efficient. He serviced what I needed done, and the price was reasonable."

We want you to know that we are very pleased with the quality of service Undefined Heights Electrical & Data LLC provided. I was impressed from our first appointment. Your estimate was not only the most affordable compared to the other four companies I received estimates from, but it was the most detailed. I really appreciated the time spent on educating me on your solution for our electrical work needed. This made me understand the process and reasons of the work that needed to be done. I felt confident I was making the right decision.

Not only were you the most affordable and offered the best long term solution, but you saved me money by being honest and not adding additional unnecessary costs. You also went above and beyond by adding a few extras that made my life easier. We sincerely appreciate your responsiveness and the way you conduct business. Your team completed this project on schedule. They were extremely professional and diligent during our tedious project. I was also surprised by how hands on you were, and it was a pleasant surprise to have you on site.  

I admire your tenacity, I?m still shocked at the fact that you worked outside during a sever e thunderstorm to get the job done on time.  This was a complicated job, you understood the sense of urgency and you were efficient enough to get it done in a day. Inspection passed with flying colors.

We will be recommending Undefined Heights Electrical & Data LLC to others because of our satisfaction with your service. We look forward to doing business with you for years to come. Undefined Heights Electrical & Data LLC is officially my go to company for any electrical issues I encounter for my primary residence and investment properties.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
