"Would not recommend Mr. Electric; they will try to scam and overcharge you. My girlfriend called them for a fried breaker and the technician tried to upsell and convince us to replace the ENTIRE electrical panel and additional unnecessary fixes for over $14,000. We called a different company for a second opinion and they assured us that the panel did not need a complete replacement to get things up and running, and only recommended a few replacements for safety measures. We were able to get the initial situation fixed the same day through the second company, all covered under the other companies ‘free second opinion promotion’ they were running. The thing is, we would have been willing to get some of the recommended safety work done, and still plan on doing it with a different company, but the Mr.Electric tech representative was pushy and dishonest, and tried to get us to finance a way more expensive fix than needed. I don’t frequently leave reviews, and I know it’s nearly impossible these days to find a company that isn’t trying to upsell or push you into something, but this is one company that should be avoided at all costs."

FREE QUOTES ⚡CALL (423) 892-6759 ⚡ ALL Electrical. TV Mounting. Fast & Reliable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Service. Insured, Bonded, and Licensed for YOUR protection. Licensed in TN & GA. Solar Panel Installation.

"Amazing experience with Foster Electric! On Sunday our dryer caught fire which caused flickering lights and blinking electronics. A call to Foster Electric diagnosed the problem over the phone, had us make sure we unplug everything and had Joshua out right away. Joshua diagnosed the technical problem – it seems our electric box was old and rotted – and made sure the new installations were up to code in my community. He finished four hours earlier than promised and walked back through the house with me to make sure I was back in business. With the exception of the dryer (it was toast), some dead light bulbs were the only problem – easily replaced. Without Foster Electric and his employee Joshua our house could have burnt down. They replaced my faulty electric box, had EPB turn the power back on and viola, a very happy customer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"Seth showed up and was very knowledgeable in what we were looking for. His crew showed up on time layer out the lighting and ceiling fan to make the most use of the light in the room. Cut in ceiling added fan box and ran wiring for the can lights. Took the time to cover stuff in the living room and once finished did a great clean up. Crew was very friendly and listened to my concerns. Very happy with final product. Will be contacting again for future work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

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