"Firefly Anything Tech overcharged me, delivered substandard work, and exploited a difficult situation for profit. I strongly advise others to stay away. On March 31, 2025, I paid Firefly Anything Tech $18,167.22 for a range of home improvement services. A key issue remains unresolved regarding $1,194 charged for labor and materials related to a cabinet door installation and drywall repair. The workmanship on both was unacceptable: the drywall repair was so poorly executed that I had to hire another contractor to fix it, and I personally had to redo the cabinet installation. Although Nathan was involved in the original job, he did not perform the cabinet or drywall work in question. Firefly?s only proposed solution has been to send Nathan back out, which does not address the quality concerns or reflect accountability for the work that was done. As a customer, I am refusing to have the same company return to correct work that was unsatisfactory in the first place."

"I contacted several companies for quotes on installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. I went with Buie Brothers because he actually took the time to explain why he made the recommendation that he did. Had my outlet installed in no time and the price was very fair, in my opinion. I will be using Buie Brothers for all my electrical work from now on and will send everyone to them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.
