"Wilder Electric owner Christopher Bedford did a wonderful job installing new wiring to an outside building and working on upgrades to our home. He was a caring and hardworking person. I would recommend his company ."
"LuminX is a company I would recommend, they were extremely professional and courteous. I was informed when they were on their way and they did the job quickly and the new outlet was installed right where we needed it. I will definitely be calling them for future jobs and recommend to anyone needing electrical work."
"Casey & Allen are hands-down the BEST electricians I’ve ever worked with. They came to fix my doorbell transformer, realized it was simple fix, and since they don’t charge hourly, instead they charge by Task Price, I paid almost half of what other companies had quoted. Who does that anymore?!
And here’s the most impressive part.
My simple fix ended up being a bit of work…
The new transformer that I bought off of Amazon turned out to be broken so they waited while I ran to Home Depot to grab another one—no pressure to buy theirs. They double-checked the voltage to protect my ADT camera (apparently people fry these all the time!) and made sure everything was perfect before leaving. And charged the original agreement. $69.
Professional. Honest. Kind. Fast. Affordable.
I chose them because of their reviews—now I’m leaving one because they earned it. If you need any electrical work done, don’t think twice—go with S&G Electrical."

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.
While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.
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.
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.
Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
