"Xavier diagnosed the situation and determined the trouble was the outdated main disconnect had a broken contact. He coordinated with CPS, the electricity supplier, and the company?s installer to remedy the problem quickly. He took time with me to explain everything and gave me a price quote in advance. He had been recommended to me by an elder in my church who had used him and said their price quote was a thousand dollars less than the other quote he got. Xavier is a great guy and now I consider him one of my friends. He is a honest old school electrician that believes in treating the customers with concern and care. I very seldom give reviews but this time I will rate their service as excellent."

"I had a fantastic experience with Voltsmith Electric. After hitting some confusion with a charger installation from another company, Mike came out, knew exactly what he was doing, and got our Level 2 EV charger installed and running at full power with no hassle. He was prompt, professional, meticulous with his work, and cleaned up everything before leaving. A completely smooth process from start to finish."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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.

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.

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.

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.
