Since 1994, the professional electricians at Mr. Electric have been serving residential and commercial customers throughout the US and Canada. We get it right the first time, delivering the most comprehensive electrical services including installation, upgrade, and repair solutions available.

"I had Mr. Electric out to my house on June 19 and showed the electrician, Sean, and his apprentice, Jeff, 4 items that I wanted to have looked at and repaired. Those items were: 1) 2 outlet boxes in a shared wall that were not perfectly aligned so had intermittent grounding 2) an outdoor light replaced with another standard outdoor light that I provided 3) some wiring in a switch checked for safety 4) a suspected weak breaker replaced. After showing them all 4 items, Sean repeated them back to me before giving me a verbal estimate of $662, which seemed reasonable for all 4 items. They were not able to complete the items that day and asked to return. I asked if it was okay to have my parents there instead of me when they returned since I work full-time and Sean agreed. I walked my parents through the list so they understood the work to be completed. Sean and Jeff returned on June 24 and spent approximately 30 minutes in my house. Sean and Jeff only completed 2 of the 4 items but I was billed the full $662. When I got home, my dad walked me through the work. They installed the outdoor light to satisfaction and fixed the grounding issue upstairs by running about 6 inches of cable per outlet to another area of the box. They won’t replace the breaker due to the manufacturer no longer being in business and not wanting to use another manufacturer’s breakers, which I understand from a safety perspective. They also did not rewire the switch. According to my dad, all they did was remove the faceplate and verify the ground even though the issue that was expressed to them was weird jumpering inside the box. On the Mr. Electric website, they state that they offer free safety inspections so I should not have been charged for this. My dad also informed me that Sean claimed he knew nothing about the breaker even though I distinctly remember mentioning it and it being on the verbal list when I received my estimate. I never received a formal written estimate to verify that this was a part of it but as a regular customer of their partner business, Mr. Rooter of Cleveland, this was normal procedure to me. My dad also let me know that even though he had offered to turn off the breakers, Sean did all the work without turning any off. This is a safety concern and is against the NFPA Electrical Code (70E, Article 110.3). I did not initially receive an email statement so I called on June 24 at 4:50pm and requested it because I did not understand why I had been charged the full $662 for only partial work. I was informed the email had failed and they would resend it. When I received the bill, there was a charge for Troubleshoot and Minor Repair (which claims a safety inspection is also included) and a second charge for a ceiling bedroom square. I didn’t have them do any ceiling work so I am not certain what this charge is for. The only note is to hang a customer light. I called back at 5:05pm and asked to speak to someone about the bill. I was told that the manager and Sean were not available but that they would be sent a message to call me. I also marked a zero on a survey I received and received a text that I would be contacted. After not receiving any response, I called back on Wednesday, June 26, at 10:27pm due to shift work and left a detailed voicemail and informed them I would be disputing charges. I made sure to leave both my number and my dad’s should I not be available. To date, I still haven’t received any response. My understanding was that my quote was for all 4 items since before receiving it, Sean had repeated them back to me. 2 of the items were not completed and if I had known I would still be charged the full amount regardless, I would have sought out another electrician. They were in my house for 30 minutes and I understand that electricians charge to the nearest hour or per job but $662 for an hour’s work and <$5 of materials seems absolutely ludicrous. I was previously a satisfied customer of the associated Mr.Rooter Plumbing but after this experience, I won’t be using either business."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.
