"Tom Brown did an excellent job. He was very efficient and knowledgeable. He obviously knew how to install an electric car charging station. He was neat and did a great job of locating the charging unit. He did the work for less than his estimate and finished early. I recommend him for your electrical work."

"Ideal experience with this company! They contacted me and came out to make the bid the same day I contacted them. They were super flexible and worked to accommodate my schedule. I needed to wait until my EV charger arrived from the manufacturer. They came out the day after it arrived, installed the unit in under two hours, and it's been working flawlessly ever since. Don't let their name fool you--John's Waterproofing is expert at electrical work! I will use them again."

"I needed a Tesla charger installed in my garage. They showed up to the house quickly, and were very knowledgeable on what to do and what i needed. They installed it within an hour, with very quality parts, and were very neat and tidy about it too. No issues since install! I definitely would consider them again in the future!"

"I am so grateful for this company. Micheal Townley is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to go through his assessment and upfront pricing. I had an odd electrical problem which lead to a bigger problem that could have been dangerous. After getting an absolutely shocking diagnosis from another company that left me stressed and crying for days, I hesitated to try anyone else but, Micheal put my mind at ease. I sent him pictures ahead of him coming out and he got right to work following further inspection of my electrical panel. I have additional work that will be completed by this company soon. I highly recommend Wind River."

"3 Mountains plumbing installed a new toilet in the master bath. It required the first trip to unplug the old one and another to install the new one. I didn't have to pay another dispatch fee. Both plumbers were friendly, competent and had a sense of humor as well as the helper on the 2nd trip. I was given a choice of fixtures and prices so I could decide which would fit the budget. I felt in good hands and would use 3 Mountains in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
