"Bay and his crew were outstanding from start to finish. Bay communicated clearly, provided a fair and transparent quote, and showed real integrity throughout the project. Logan and Gino were equally impressive—an engaging, highly capable crew who made the work feel smooth and well organized. They were very flexible when my plans changed from replacing two light fixtures to installing ceiling fans with light dimmers. They also decommissioned and safely capped an existing light-fixture junction box, then installed a new electrical box, wiring, and mounting hardware for a pool table light fixture in a different location. The result looks great, allowed the pool table to be installed the next day and I’m very happy with the whole experience. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to Bay and his team for additional work already planned down the road. Highly recommend! Spot on experience."

"We were affected by Hurricane Helene and had no power. I was running extensions all throughout my house to my generator and it was an absolute mess. I called Greg seeing if he had availability to hook my generator up to my breaker box and told him my situation and how we had no idea how long this outage would last. Greg wasted no time at all to get over here. He was very professional, punctual, funny, and kind. He had my generator hooked up to my breaker box in less than a hour and it was such a blessing. We ended up going 5-1/2 days with no power and it was so much easier to bear this storm with my 3 young kids thanks to Greg’s work. We will definitely be calling Avila Electric for all of our electrical needs!"

"Corley is great when it comes to routine service checks. They always make suggestions of what can be done to improve systems and provide the costs up front. I personally find that to be expensive so I rarely agree to have anything added. I would recommend them for your routine checks!"

"Chad is very professional and knowledgeable. Being someone who knows nothing about electrical work (scary!), I was somewhat intimidated by this project. Chad, however, explained what he thought should be done, how he would do it and provided multiple options with appropriate price points. For this particular job, Chad took care of it quickly and left the work spaces spotless. I will be calling him again for future projects!!"

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
