"Moss Electric Inc / 2 Hippies Home Services did a fantastic job. Quote, labor, consultation, and communiques to my father over the phone were all done in a very helpful, professional, honest, and friendly manner. It was a simple (2-person job) ceiling lamp replacement at first, but they helped us discover and collect evidence of the flagrant negligence of a certain HOA company so we can take action to protect ourselves. Kind, understanding, helpful, friendly, awesome. Thank you both so so so much!"

"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

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.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

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.

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.
