"Scheduling for the bid was backed out a ways - and therefore delayed my project a little... but, as it turns out, I'm glad I waited the extra couple of weeks. Scheduling was otherwise very easy. Once I chose Peak, scheduling the work was a more reasonable wait. Everyone I dealt with was professional and communicated clearly from start to finish... they gladly answered any questions I had (I tend to ask a lot of questions). The work was well done. Electrician wasn't familiar with the particular brand of charger I had purchased, but was able to figure out everything that wasn't immediately obvious by just looking in the installation instructions provided. In hindsight, I probably could have handled the job (knowing what I know now)... but am definitely still glad to have had a licensed electrician do this work - which was required to be eligible for some utility and tax rebates anyway - and have the peace of mind that comes with it. I Received quotes/bids from multiple contractors... only one was potentially less - but it was lacking in details (permit costs, etc.) - and was about the same price for the things that were listed. I like to "shop union" when possible, so I was pleased that Peak was a Union shop... and, as an added benefit, had a $200 coupon through the Union (IBEW) - so it ended up being the least expensive bid overall. The price was reasonable for the work... and I paid exactly what was bid - not a penny more. I would not hesitate to hire Peak again for any electrical work I need done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

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

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.
