"I was so impressed with West Mountain electric, and so glad I went with them. Of all the pros sent to me he was the only one that answered me on a weekend. He asked very specific questions about the job and then gave me full pricing upfront. Jackson was very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable about what he does. He was just a pleasure to have in my home."

"YES HVAC scammed me out of $2,500. When I had my furnace & air conditioner replaced last year, YES failed to mention that Carrier (both my heater & AC were Carrier brands) was running a promotion that if you replaced both a furnace & an AC system with Carrier products, they would give you a cash rebate of $2,500. YES HVAC simply did not inform me of the company rebate program; instead, they just took the money from me without my knowledge. I eventually found out about the rebate later when I replaced the second full system in our house. Obviously I went with another more transparent/honest company the second go around. When I discussed the situation with YES management (even providing them with the written proof from Carrier Company of the rebate program), I still have heard nothing further from YES. My suggestion is to go with the competition rather than YES HVAC; it cost me a $2,500 rebate, what will they scam you out of?"

"I worked with Philm Gear to install our projector system in our conference room. We are a mortgage company and needed a state of the art system for our new conference area. They installed blue tooth speakers, a projector computer system, etc. It has been a great system that is very user friendly and we get a lot of compliments on. Phil, the salesman has been great to work with and was quick to run over to help us walk through any questions we had. We are looking at using them to upgrade the systems in each of our other conference rooms."

"Ryan is incredible!! Professional, easy to work with, quick to respond, and fair on pricing. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I needed to upgrade my home to 200 amps of service. I priced it out myself expecting to pay 25% more, instead he came in exactly where I was expecting (just under on cost of equipment, I'm sure with his discounts). I asked him to set things up for a future DIY project I was planning. He said no problem, then a couple days later he texted me out of the blue and asked to come over because he had some ideas on how to do the project. Unpaid, and not expecting anything in return, he walked with me around my property and explained what he would do, which was far better than my original idea. Overall I was just impressed that he was really thinking through the project and suggesting what would work best in my situation rather than what was easiest or more profitable for him. He's a great guy! I plan on using him in the future if/when I have the need. "

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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. 

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
