"I recently hired Chad from Redhead Electric to install a new ceiling fan, and he absolutely exceeded every expectation. Not only did he complete the installation flawlessly and on time, but he also proactively identified and corrected a significant issue left behind by the home builder ? one I had no idea even existed. He fixed it at no extra charge, demonstrating incredible integrity and expertise that went well above and beyond. His attention to detail, clear communication, and professional demeanor made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I never once felt overcharged or taken advantage of ? just honest, high-quality service from a skilled electrician who truly cares about doing the job right. If you?re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and customer-focused electrician in the Lubbock area, look no further than Chad at Red Head Electrical. He?s the real deal!!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator.
