"Stephens Electric replaced two 30-year-old fluorescent light fixtures in my kitchen with LEDs. I could not be happier with the work that was performed. I highly recommend this guy for all your electrical needs. He responds immediately to email and text messages and made some really good suggestions on what to buy to complete my project. The total installation time was about 90 minutes and the labor cost was very reasonable. I will use this person for all my future electrical jobs. ?"

"I have used Power Solutions for a number of years and have been very pleased by the work performed by Mr. Raymond. However, I paid $427.00 for twice a year service in November 2022. To date, I have not received any service, nor does Power Solutions return my calls or my emails. I am truly surprised by this as I always received excellent service from them in the past.

Regarding the question of would I hire them again, unless someone can explain what is happening, I probably would not hire them again."

We aren't working for Angie's list any more

"We had two heat and a/c units that had to be replaced at our home. We got 4 estimates for replacing the units. PECO was by far the best estimate. We were getting estimates on exactly the same units from each contractor. The units were high efficiency units, which will reduce our energy bill and lessen damage to the environment. PECO had access to rebates and discounts reducing the over all cost. They ordered both units and after they came in had them both installed in one day. We had blessed heat (and cooling) at a reasonable price. Their office staff was easy to work with. They get an A+ from me!!"

"and they had a technician come out, which confirmed it was their fault. We asked for a manager to call us. We have been completely unable to get any call back from any leadership. We have been told multiple dates in the supposed repair. As of today, it’s set to be two weeks of no AC for my pregnant wife. Worse yet, we have had to spend $2000 on portable AC/fans/dehumidifer. We initially simply asked for compensation towards the “repair” but couldn’t get any response. We have had damage to the drywall, windows, etc. as a result of the humidity. Waldrop literally blocked us on Facebook instead of responding to our issues."

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.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

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.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
