"Fantastic electrical company! Good price for my new portable generator installation. I really liked the electrician who performed the work. Will hire again!"
"Last Monday, Nov. 3, I had some major surgery done on my GENERAC generator. It was time for "Super Maintenance" and your service man did a SUPER job! His name is Joe and he did a great job servicing my machine. He arrived on time and went right to work. He changed the oil and oil filter, put in a new battery, adjusted the valves, put in a new air filter, and even cleaned the top of the generator. All this while i looked over his shoulder and asked questions, lots of questions.
I am impressed with Mr. Joe. He is very knowledgeable about your products, well spoken, and easy to talk to. It took him less than an hour to complete his work, despite my constant jabbering. He's a KEEPER!
Thank You Trinity,
And Thank You Joe!

"So much YES!!! John called me back within one business day of my initial inquiry to give us a quote and explain the generator transfer switch install process. We set an appointment for which Bill showed up exactly on time. He was OUTSTANDING. He explained everything he was planning to do, answered our questions along the way, gave us status updates and even though our house wasnâ t the most cooperative, went above & beyond to put the transfer switch in a spot that was more challenging for him but more convenient for us. Top notch customer service. He walked us through how to work everything and simulated a power outage to ensure it was perfect. And it was. John Gambino Electric has new lifelong customers. Thanks John & Bill!!!"
"Troy did an amazing job on several projects for us. He installed a 220 sub panel box and wired in a new hot tub. Additionally, he wired up our basement during a remodel, same as a new construction build. We hired him back on for the project due to the professionalism and fairness he brought with him on his first job with us. I’m a meticulous guy and picky about how my electrical work looks. Troy came in above and beyond of what I was expecting with his order of neatness and cleanliness when laying his lines. Everything had to be perfect for him and I feel he exceeded what my high expectations were already. I would certainly only consider him for whatever our next electrical project is."
"We had some outlets installed recently by the technician Carlos. Everything has been working great! Carlos is very personable. He took the time to explain the process and answered all of our questions. We will definitely be using the company again for future work!"
"I ordered a general checkup of my home. The electrician found a melted wire in my breaker box. He rerouted all of the wires to separate bolts. I opted to get a surge protector installed at that time. I recommend James at Mister Sparky. He explained the questions that I asked. Like, â  What is this switch for?â  Itâ  s a comfort to know that my home is safe now.... and that I have a switch to turn on electric candles in my windows."

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.
In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.
Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
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.
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.
