"I am pleased to provide a review for Jason and the team at Sewell Electric for their excellent work on my recent recessed lighting project. From the beginning, Jason was prompt in responding to my request for a project quote. He was able to come out the following day for a free consultation and quote, which was a great price compared to other electricians I had contacted. I was impressed with how quickly the team was able to return to my home within a few days to complete the work. During the installation process, they placed plastic over the living room furniture to protect it from dust, which was a thoughtful gesture. They did a superb job on the lighting installation, and their professionalism was evident throughout the project. After completing the project, they even vacuumed and cleaned up afterwards, which was a nice touch. The quote that Jason provided was spot on, and I appreciated how transparent and honest he was throughout the process. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of work that Sewell Electric provided, and I will definitely use them in the future if a need for related work arises. I highly recommend Sewell Electric to anyone in need of electrical services. Thank you, Jason, and the team at Sewell Electric, for a job well done!"

"Dan installed a new electrical panel, a new outdoor outlet for my rv, ran wire to the other side of the house and installed another upgraded outlet for my electric kiln. It was a messy job but at the end you couldnâ  t tell he had been there. He was reasonably priced and I intend to use him again."

"The home I bought in Sandy, UT needed a whole new electrical panel, according to the inspector's report. TOR gave me an estimate, which seemed reasonable, I accepted the estimate, and work was scheduled. The office staff made arrangements with the power company and the city for power to the house to be off for the day so the work could be done. Four professional, friendly TOR employees arrived and began their work on time. They seemed to work well together as a team and all seemed fully competent and well trained. They had the inspector come after they had removed the old panel and had started installing the new panel. The inspector did his work, chatted with the TOR guys for a few minutes, then gave his okay and left. The TOR guys finished their work on the panel, then inspected inside the house to be sure all of the outlets were correct - all had covers, all near sinks had "safety" outlets, etc. They took care of everything on the checklist. After all the work was completed, the inspector returned to give final approval and the power was turned back on. The whole project took about 6-7 hours. TOR went above and beyond, when I requested they add a hot tub hookup. Everyone I came in contact with from TOR did a great job, from office staff to the guy checking the electric outlets. They were professional and helpful, answering all my questions. They charged me the exact amount of the original estimate. I'm very happy with the work they did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for any residential electrical services. Great job!"

"Cubix Power did a great job helping me run some wire for our game room. We wanted some extra power for our gaming PCs and Ethernet cables ran so we could be directly plugged into our fiber service. Insanely clean job, priced very good and fast! I’ll be hiring them for our basement when we finish it in the future. Thank you guys!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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.
