"Bill H from Gambino Electric showed up promptly on time for the job. There were some edge ceiling tiles that needed to be removed to reach the power line and Bill did very clean work with the removal and disposal. Bill showed cross sections of the older range power line and the new line installed, describing the differences in insulation and safety features of the newer line. Bill went above and beyond by detecting the wrong cord on the new range, and replaced this with the proper range gauge power cord. Bill also helped us to correctly position and level the new range appliance. I would recommend Bill and Gambino Electric for any similar household wiring job where safety and quality of work are a priority."

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Drilon and Barry from B&D Electrical Construction because of their excellent service, knowledge, honesty, professionalism and kindness. My home was without power, due to damage in the exterior wire and rust in the wire pipe. Drilon and Barry provided high-quality service to install new exterior wire and durable PVC pipe during almost freezing conditions today! I am extremely grateful because Drilon and Barry realized the urgency of my situation and decided to postpone work on a current project, in order to restore electricity to my home for a Happy New Year. Indeed, I will be having a Happy New Year because I will have electricity and heat in my home! Drilon and Barry expertly diagnosed the problem with my electricity and provided me with an organized work plan and a reasonable estimate of the costs. On the day of our appointment, Drilon and Barry took time to drive to a 2nd store because the 1st store did not have all of the necessary supplies for the project involving my home. Drilon and Barry also went beyond their scope of work and were kind enough to plug the minor holes created by the screws from the previous exterior wire pipe, as well as address the potential hazard of a live interior electrical wire with exposed and frayed copper filaments. I admit that I was very curious about electricity and electrical work. So, I asked a plethora of questions. I genuinely appreciate the patience exhibited by Drilon and Barry to answer my questions about the details of the electrical repair, as well as my questions about voltage, amperage, grounding, 110 volt vs. 220 volt service panels, dedicated service lines and insulation of exterior wires. I was very impressed by Drilon and Barry. As such, I have made arrangements with Drilon and Barry to undertake a 2nd project in the beginning of 2017 to update the interior electrical wiring and install a dedicated service line in my home. Also, I plan to refer Drilon and Barry to my colleagues- GREAT JOB! Sincerely, Wil Lo, MD"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more.
