"Paul was professional and very meticulous. Initially he came to my home to view the project and gave me a free estimate for the work to be done. I got on his schedule, and he was prompt in his arrival to include calling me once he was about 20 minutes from my house. Paul removed an old vanity light, skillfully patched up the hole and prepped the wall to install two new vanity lights in different locations. By doing this, he had to run two additional lines behind the drywall to provide power for the two vanity lights. The two vanity lights were precisely marked and placed evenly over each mirrow and sink. Paul also removed a wall outlet from the front wall, patched that hole and installed a new wall outlet on the side wall to make the vanity area look the same on both sides of each sink. The new side wall outlet required Paul to enter the crawl space to run a dedicated line up to it. Once all work was complete, everything thing was tested to ensure it was in excellent operating condition and safe. The area was cleaned including the counter space and the floor insuring nothing was left behind for a job well done. My next electrical job, I will definitely call Paul Higginbotham."

"They make life easy and projects exceptional. Grateful to have them in Lexington, SC!

Our kitchen finally features real stone quartzite with a blend of stunning LVP waterproof flooring, elegant tiled backsplash and an entirely new lighting system from chandeliers to the under cabinet lighting.

Www.hodgeselectrical.com We believe that everyone should use small family owed businesses. Yes some times the larger companies can get it done a little cheaper, but are they gonna take the time to make sure everything is done exactly correct? Small companies take time to make sure you're happy and the job is done right.

"Good job. happy with how everything looks."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.
