"Xavier diagnosed the situation and determined the trouble was the outdated main disconnect had a broken contact.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

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

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.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.
