""I recently had the pleasure of hiring Josh from Vinesett Electric Services to install an EV charger in my home, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From start to finish, my experience was fantastic. First off, his quote was incredibly reasonable – less than half of what other companies were asking. But beyond the great price, Josh's service was truly exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. As a first-time EV owner, I needed a lot of guidance beyond just the installation, and Josh went above and beyond to answer all my questions and explain everything clearly. He even helped me with some unrelated electrical issues (like fixing my Christmas lights!), which was incredibly kind. Josh took care of everything, from obtaining the permit to providing all the necessary documentation for my Duke Energy rebates. Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to navigate this process without him. He's a true professional and his work is impeccable. I will definitely be using Vinesett Electric for any future electrical needs and will enthusiastically recommend Josh to anyone who asks. Thanks again for the amazing service!""

"Great service! We originally wanted to have new outlets added as well as the USB, however we did not know that would include major drywall removal to do what we wanted. The technician was very helpful in explaining all that would be required and allowed us to change our original request. We ended up just having the USB port done. We really appreciate the honesty and courtesy of the technician! We definitely recommend them!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.
