"John Gambino was recommended to me on Facebook a year or so ago when I needed an emergency electrician on a holiday. He sent someone out within the hour and the issue was resolved quickly. A few months ago, I again needed some work done and decided to also upgrade to 200 AMP at the same time. John sent out a few guys, including Bill Heaton and Jimmy. The work was done to our 100% satisfaction and Bill carefully explained everything that had been done and why. We recently bought an older home that had knob and tube wiring so we called John once again and he sent Bill out to give us an estimate. I will be honest, we now trust John and Bill so much based on our prior experiences that we didn't even bother to get a second estimate. We knew that the peace of mind that we would have knowing that the job would be done correctly, on time, and by people that we like and trust was worth far more than trying to save a few dollars. Thank you so much John, Bill, and Jimmy. Chuck and I appreciate the work you did so much. Everything looks great and we can't wait to move in at the end of the month! If we ever need electrical work done in the future, you will be the ones we call."

"I had two bedrooms in my house with no overhead lights installed. This was not an easy fix for me and a complicated install. I'm so glad I called Pro Electrician. A new line had to be run up in the attic and over and into the center of the bedroom. They did a fantastic job. This is a finished house and The technician was extremely neat and efficient and explained everything to me. And i'm glad that I didn't try this on my own. Now I finally have lights controlled by the wall switch and also had ceiling fans installed. 100 % satisfied and definitely would recommend them."

"Mr. Rowland installed a light post as well as a century floodlight on the side of my house. He also installed LED energy efficient lights in my basement. The installs were all clean and well done. Not to mention the price was very reasonable. Without a doubt, I would absolutely hire or recommend him for future work."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
