"This project was the complete remodel of a split entry, three-bedroom house (in various states of disrepair). I was given a thorough estimate, and we reviewed the work scope in great detail. Even when confronted with some unexpected issues (items that were not obvious until we begin the demo) midstream, they gave me complete Information so that I could make an informed decision on how to proceed. Their work is excellent, they are reliable and easy to communicate with, they are proud of what they do and want you to be happy with the results. My project included general construction, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical assessment. I highly recommend Powerhouse and will continue to use them for my general contracting needs. As I recently told them, **you are my guys from now on!** Thank you, Clayton, JD, and Chris for a job well done!"

"Don was very friendly, he explained what he was going to do. He listened to us when we explained exactly what we were looking for and when we needed it done by. He went above and beyond to make sure the work was done in a timely manner. I would definitely hire Don again to do electrical work. He does his job very well. Don is very professional and takes his work serious and cares about the quality of his work."

"Great job! Came on time, communicated well and accessed all our problems. Put in 12 new indoor and outdoor and basement lighting. They purchased and brought the bigger commercial lighting we needed. Cleaned up entire worksite before leaving. We will use them again for a future project. Pricing very reasonable and happy with their work and expertise in all respects."

"They were good. They're price were really good for what we wanted to have done. As far as the work, they came in and they had part of our power back on half way through the day and they had the rest of it on before they left that evening. They had to come back out to test the generator after the propane company came and tested out. They came out and did everything."

"Work included the installation of six LED light fixtures in the living room to be controlled by a dimmer switch, power to be supplied from an outlet that was previously split so one-half the outlet was controlled by a standard light switch. Started looking for an electrician in early November and used both Home Advisor and Angies List for leads. Jay (Miletti) came out and provided an estimate within a week of the call. With one other exception, the other electricians identified by Home Advisors and Angies List did not respond to the invitation, I guess they had too much work or the job was too small. I was able to solicit two additional electricians through word of mouth but their bids were considerably higher. I finally decided on Miletti in mid-January. I contacted Jay and he came out the next day to finalize the paperwork for the job. Five days later, Jay and his assistant were doing the work; prompt response. The job was not difficult but it did require experience to minimize the amount of damage to the walls and ceiling to run the wire. Jay and his partner, Jake, spent a total of about 18 hours (between the two of them) carefully running the wires to the penetrations where the fixtures were to be installed. Jake took care to install the cans with minimal gap so the fixture is unlikely to slip. In hindsight, I am glad they did the work since I probably would have been too impatient. In the end, they only needed two extra openings, one in the ceiling next to the wall and one in the wall to thread the wire; both were patched before they left. I have a little touch-up patching but I expected as much. They cleaned up nicely after their work. The job was finished the same day as they started and the results are completely satisfactory. Based on they pricing and the quality of their work, I intend to contact Miletti (Jay) when I require additional electrical work. Further, I would not hesitate to recommend Jay to my friends that may require electrical work. One other point, before they left, I asked for one of the boxes that the LED fixtures came in because the brand was not familiar, I shop at The Home Depot and Lowes. Jake told me that the fixture came from a local supplier in Elizabeth and that they try to support local businesses with their business. That might not mean much relative to the quality of their workmanship, but I do think that says something about their character."

"I hired Kloock's Electric to install a television antenna. They came out to do an estimate and we discussed equipment options. I decided on an antenna and amplifier and requested that they install the antenna strapped to a chimney. I received a quote for the work and equipment costs. They ordered the equipment and came out to install it when the equipment arrived. The install went well, and it was apparent that the installer had done this before. They were professional and courteous."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.
