"I engaged McBride to install two ceiling fans at my house. The installer, Justin, did an excellent job on both and I'm very pleased with Justin and the work he did for me. For my next electrical project I will be calling McBride."

"Phoenix electrical is owned by Paul, a master electrician, who does the initial consultation to figure out a quote, he is very direct and honest but easy to talk to and work with. Their customer service is excellent, they kept me well informed throughout the process and were very friendly and accommodating. Pheonixs quote was fair without question, his crew had a tough job installing a generator transfer switch kit set up, I live in a house built in the late 80s, so, the electrical system is a bit older and they ran into issues but they worked non stop and persevered through the challenges, found solutions, and completed the job as promised. Without question, I recommend Phoenix Electrical, and I will certainly seek them out first for any future electrical work. Thank you."

"The security lights were replaced and covers installed for the outside electrical outlets . Also a pull chain light was replaced with a motion detected LED light in a closet. Garage lights were replaced with LED lights. Christopher and his associate have spent a lot of time coming back to adjust an outside security light. They are such professional electricians and will stand behind their work. . I recommend their services."

"I reached out to 4B Electric in Poolville, TX for a quote to install a whole house Generator. I was immediately contacted and Josh came right over to review the installation. He gave me a very fair quote via email that same day. I also reached out to several other Electrical contractors for competitive quotes. I waited several day RTS for those firms to call me and only one other firm came out. Who did submit a quote that was quite a bit higher. The other 2 contractors only gave me verbal estimates. All told none were as professional as Josh with 4B Electric and we thousands more in costs. Once I had the generator in hand Josh was out within the week to install it. He even brought his tractor along so as to properly iift and set it where I wanted. Josh completed the bulk of the work in one day, including the automatic transfer switch, conduit and wiring! He even scheduled the power shutdown with the Utility company! All work as completed the day of the shutdown, including all of the programming and startup of the generator. I was was most impressed with Joshâ s work ethic, quality of work and customer service. I highly recommend 4B Electric for any electric work that you may need. I have already had Josh back out to our house to fix several other issues with switches and outlets. 4B is in my mind is the best! Thank you Josh."

"Seamus Donohue was a man who knew his subject - lightning. He came to our home quickly, and scheduled installation immediately after we made a decision. The men who came to do the installation were professional, careful and took time to make sure the results were as "invisible" as possible. We hope never to have a lightning strike again at our home, but as the weather patterns change, we fear that is more possible than in the past. We feel more protected after our lightning protection installation. But you never know how successful something is if the proof is in something never happening! But we'll take it."

"We were extremely pleased with Corrigan and sons on the work they did installing a lightning rod protection system on our home. They did the work themselves and started and completed the job in a timely and professional manner. Hard working people, and without hesitation, we would highly recommend them."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
