EB Extreme Electrical Services was featured in an episode of the TV show "Flip This House, San Antonio Edition". EB Extreme Electrical Services is a San Antonio electrician with a wide range of capabilities and skills to meet your unique project's needs. Give us a call today and we'll get out to help you ASAP. Licenses / Credentials: • Electrical Contractors License T.E.C.L. 23588 • Master Electrician 108708 • Journeyman Electrician 5648 Steps in Hiring a Reliable San Antonio Electrician You might not think of it often but, the fact is that at some point in time every home is going to need the services of an electrician. The electrical power that makes everything run smoothly is a very important part of every home. Many people are capable enough to handle the small jobs, like installing a ceiling fan or replacing a wall switch. Others have a healthy fear of anything that involves electrical repairs or upgrades; no matter how minor the problem, it is best left in the capable hands of a reliable San Antonio electrician. It shouldn’t be hard to find an electrician. Locating the one that you believe is right for your project might not be quite as easy. Where to Find a Licensed San Antonio Electrician Friends, family and people you work with are all good places to start when asking for recommendations. If anyone has hired a San Antonio electrician in the past, they can possibly give you some good insight. If they weren’t happy with the work, they can tell you why. Likewise if someone’s had a good experience with a San Antonio electrician they’ll probably give him a glowing recommendation. People will quickly let you know if they received great service. You'll find that we have a good reputation and take pride in our work. Getting a Bid from a San Antonio Electrician Once you’ve decided on three or four electricians that you feel are right for the job, you then need to set up an interview so you can go over your project with them. Ask about experience; we'll be happy to explain to you how a San Antonio electrician can meet your needs. We offer a quality of service that you will not find elsewhere. After the project is complete, you'll be happy we sent an expert San Antonio electrician. Do a walk through with each electrician that you are considering and have them explain in detail what they can do for you and how they would complete the job. Tell them what you’re trying to accomplish and use the time to convey any concerns. Taking a little time with each San Antonio electrician will help you get a sense of how well you will communicate and if there is potential for a good working relationship. If you have any doubts about a specific electrician, you don’t need to feel obligated to work with him. Keep in mind that this person is someone you’ll need to trust with the safety of your home. Get an estimated time for the completion of your project along with the price. Obviously a San Antonio electrician can’t give you a correct estimate until they work up an in depth quote. Provide each electrician with a list of the things you want them to include in their bid. The bids should include the cost of parts and labor and a detailed explanation of what the project involves. It should also detail your payment options. If your project is small, you’ll usually be expected to pay in full once the project is completed, while longer more involved projects, may allow for installment payments over the course of the entire job. A time schedule for completion should also be included in every bid. Selecting the Best San Antonio Electrician You’ll then need to compare the bid from each San Antonio electrician with the others you have received. You might be attracted to a very low bid but this is one area where you really need to be an educated consumer. While a low bid can be legitimate, if it’s way below the others you need to question why. When it comes to your home’s electrical system you don’t want to be cutting corners. Should the bid really interest you, ask the electrician that submitted the bid why it is so low. The fact of the matter is that when deciding on the San Antonio electrician you want to hire, you should not only choose the bid that’s going to save you the most money but the one that is going to supply you with the most reliable service. When choosing the best San Antonio electrician, there’s more involved than just your budget. Whenever dealing with electricity, the safety of your family needs to come first. You need a reliable San Antonio electrician that will take the time to pay attention to detail and make certain the job is done right. The life of your home relies on the dependability of the San Antonio electrician that handles your project.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
