"Zack Temple, Henry Herring, Trace are the best. Super professional, courteous, respectful, friendly and great electricians. Beyond fair pricing, more like extremely reasonable. I was totally impressed with their work ethics and the quality of their work. Zack and Henry did not pressure me to replace anything that was in perfect working order and still within standards and codes. They were punctual and prompt. Easy to talk to, communicated with me on the progress and informed me of the changes they did upon completion of the job. If I was staying in this area, CSRA Professional Electrical would be the only electrical company I would call. From the moment we first spoke concerning acquiring a quote to the completion of the job, I did not feel like my electrical requests were inconvient, I felt they made my job and my overall satisfaction their number one priority. If you are looking for personable electricans that care, this is the company to call. I wish I could give them 10ð . Yes, they are that good and well worth the call. TOTALLY IMPRESSED."

"Matt came in and did an excellent job installing our new Wide Screen Plasma TV and Blue Ray Sound System.. He provided trianing on how to use the system and answered all of our questions. He also cleaned up behind himself. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone considering a TV system installation in their home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

It might seem counterintuitive, but installing a generator transfer switch will save you money in the long run. While you’ll have to pay between $400 and $2,500 to have the transfer switch installed, you’ll recoup that amount later on when you don’t have to pay for expensive repairs to your appliances, devices, and electrical system that may have burned out, overloaded, or stopped working due to a sudden loss of power or an incorrect hook up of a generator to your home

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.
