"I would highly recommend this contractor. He was hired to install a home generator. He was professional and completed the job in an acceptable time. He came to my home & advised me what kind of generator I needed, gave me a quote (which I thought was very reasonable), ordered it & had it delivered to my home. Once delivered, he & his crew installed & tested it to make sure it operated correctly. They cleaned up after themselves, took away all debris. Everything was accomplished very quickly & the pro gave me good instructions on how to use it along with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Thank you, Dreamworld and thank you, Angi for recommending this pro."

"Mr. Wadford was and is very responsive to any query or request. He was always on time as was the installer. He was very patient and thorough in explaining the system operation and Bluetooth software. He insured that I understood everything and answered any and all questions. I have only had the system for a short time but it is performing perfectly. This project is to replace n old system. This new system cost $1500 less than the 20 year old system it replaced. The Wadford Water Works provides a quality system as well as quick, efficient and professional installation. I am thoroughly pleased with my decision with my choice to do business with Mr. Wadford."

"Our technicians, Jacob Flowers and Tanner Watson, were timely, courteous and thorough despite working on. a holiday weekend day. They explained in detail how the installation would proceed and remained engaged throughout the process. They completed the install, briefed us on system operation and cleaned up before departing. We would definitely recommend this company and these two gentlemen for their expertise and excellent service!"

"Very well. The Mister Sparky electrician who did our estimate also did the repair work on our home at our request. He did an excellent estimate of the work we needed done, did the work very professionally and personably, and finished the job within the estimate. This involved pulling new cable through an underground conduit and routing part of the same cable through a Charleston crawl space - it was no simple job. If I was rating this electrician I would rate him "A" across the board, but the company gets a "C" for Responsiveness because of its extremely poor office support, i.e., its answering service. Similarly, the electrician would have been rated "A" for Professionalism but the company gets a "B" rating for Professionalism for its office support. I told the company's manager and the electrician who made the repairs that its answering service is in need of substantial improvement at the time of the job."

"The company does great work. I am please with the work. They worked fast and were very friendly. They will be installing more lights for me in the near future. The lights that I bought for him to install in the kitchen doesn’t light up the kitchen enough, so since I liked the design of light so much the owner suggested that i place the same exact light in another area of the kitchen. Great idea. He was hundreds dollars cheaper than other quotes that I received. They do wonderful work. I have already recommended him to my sister that needs electrical work."

"Mike is great. We hired him to bring some outlets up to code and install a couple of new ones. He was prompt, communicative, and informative with regards to what he was doing and why it had to be done. He worked quickly and efficiently, and the final invoice was in line with what he estimated prior to the job. He also had to cut into the drywall for a couple of installations, and he took great care to replace what he removed. I was fully prepared to have to do a full patch job, but thanks to Mike's careful work I only need to do a little sanding and spackling. He also cleaned up after himself; everywhere he worked was immaculate. You'd never know he was there. I plan on using Energy Opps for any and all future electrical work I need done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

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.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.
