"I started my Angi project to do 6 fan replacements + 1 new fan install where a lighting fixture is hanging. The person who came in to do the consult and look around quoted me very high price. When I shared that their cost is higher than the standard Lowe's fan installation cost he was appreciative of me sharing the information and said that he will consult with his manager to get us a better price. In the end, the price quote I got was slightly higher than Lowe's. If you are looking for handyman type of work or anything small, Angi is not a platform to find the person. That is what I have learned from my first 2 projects at Angi. I took 2 stars away because Angi platform did not create a good match and secondly the price quote is the highest among all the pros Angi matched me with hence I did not go with these guys."

"I needed a ceiling fan installed on my very high ceiling. I called Frontline Electric for an estimate. They showed up when they said they would and the price was reasonable. Devin showed up he was very polite and did such a clean job. I was very impressed. I will definitely be calling them again when I need something done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
