"I'm selling my house and needed a quick turn-around to get some electrical work done as required by the buyers' lender. It's only been a couple days since I posted my project on Angi and the work is already done. Safety Home Services contacted me right away to get my project on their schedule. Kevin arrived as scheduled and was very quick and thorough with the GFCI replacements and other items on my list. As a bonus, he identified and clearly labeled all the switches in my breaker box. I'm a very happy customer."

"Tyler was the electrician. He was personable, efficient, fast and clever. I was installing a dog door in a place that had an electrical outlet in the center of it. And I am humble enough, and smart enough to not pretend to be an electrician. I was prepared to remove part of a wall stud after Tyler did his work. After strategically removing some sheetrock, Tyler was able to re-route the outlet nearby, and my pre-purchased telescoping dog door neatly fit (my installation, not Tylers) between studs. No stud cutting needed. I was a happy customer. Tyler was on time, cleaned-up afterwards, was a great problem-solver, and was fun and friendly throughout with me and my wife. The scheduler, Jeremy was great, too. All around, BCE is a class act. We recommend heartily!"

"Everything was perfect. They came quickly to give us an estimate. When we accepted it, they were able to schedule a nearby time for the job. They performed power washing with mildew-resistant cleaner, scraping, caulking, masking, covering plants etc, spray painting of large areas, roller and brush painting of trim (two coats on everything), and touch-up as necessary, with exceptional eye to detail. The whole job was completed quickly and professionally, and the result is perfect. Although we were initially dubious of hiring the newest company in the area, we are now very glad that we did.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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 shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

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.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

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.
