"They have done things right. Removed the siling fan and installed a light fixture. The price was quite high. I got $56 discount for the angies list, and paid $142, which was ok. But, the original price was $198. They came the same day I called, which was great! But, I don't think I will pay for $200 for a light fixture installation next time."

"Electrician diagnosed and replaced a few faulty outlets and a dimmer switch. Also installed a heavy duty exhaust fan for the bathroom, replacing the much older one. I?m very satisfied with all repairs and did an excellent job cleaning up after. Will definitely be using them for future projects."

"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."

"Had Matt run new wire for a big addition and hook everything up. He was easy to work with, communicative, and fast. Very talented for a young guy. I was nervous about some potential complications but once we turned everything on, zero issues"

"Excellent experience. The electrician, Jay, arrived promptly, was very polite and professional, and answered all our questions fully. He installed two GFIs and two ceiling fans and was finished by lunch time. I was in the room while he installed the second fan, and we had a very good conversation as he worked. He was thoroughly knowledgeable and professional. We have some work to get done, and will be requesting him again. Highly recommend this company."

"My wife and I had Brett replace/upgrade our boxes, both inside and out, as well as run/install electric in two buildings. His work as impeccable, and his service afterwards was prompt and reliable. Brett and his crew were polite, professional, and appreciative of our business. We trusted them with complete access to our property, with zero restrictions. We were extremely pleased! On a personal note, Brett is an incredible young man, and has built his business from the ground up—starting at the age of sixteen. At his young age, he’s matured far beyond his years, and it shows. Tracy and I are VERY happy!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

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.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.
