"Work was well done, and they thought about how to best install the outlets to serve the needed purpose. Installation was quick and professional, they also cleaned up after themselves. I will use Thundercolt Electric for future electrical needs."

"I recently had a light fixture installed in my office and an electrical outlet relocated to a different area, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The electrician was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail. The installation was clean, the work was completed efficiently, and everything looks and functions perfectly. It’s clear they take pride in their craftsmanship and customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality electrical work. Thank you for doing such an amazing job!"

"Lazaro Gonzales was my technician and he arrived at the exact time he was scheduled. He listened to what I wanted and offered better options. He explained what he was doing at every step and when he was done, he cleaned the area up better than it was when he arrived. I will hire Lazaro for all my electrical work from now on."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

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.

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.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.
