Always keeping us informed as to the particulars of our standby generator install and always on time when promised, he surpassed every other service and equipment supplier we have ever had working for us.

"I can’t recommend Botelho and Sons Electric highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. They were punctual, neat, and completely reliable, showing up exactly when they said they would and keeping the work area clean and organized throughout the entire project. I had a 200-amp panel upgrade, lines run to a pool & hot tub, copper wire installed for the pool and the connection for our generator - everything was done to code, with obvious skill and attention to detail. Out of 6 electricians I got quotes from, Ryan offered the best price without cutting any corners. On top of that, both he and his employee were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Bonus points for being amazing with my 130 lb Cane Corso, who is usually suspicious of strangers. It was clear they were comfortable around dogs and respectful of my space, which made the whole process that much smoother. If you want high-quality work from someone you can trust, I wouldn’t look any further!"

"I highly recommend Ben @ ABN for your electrician needs. I hired ABN to replace outdated two-prong outlets with three-prong GFCIs, and install a completely new outlet in my bathroom, and they did an incredible job in no time. Their professionalism, skill, prices, and good attitude were excellent. I will be hiring ABN for all of my future projects too. Thanks!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
