"We initally purchased an Angies List cupon ($99 for $200 of service) but ended up asking to have a new electrical pannel installed.  Very profssional and curtious service. They installed and put in the electrical pannel with fuses and meter outside.  After 2 days the a/c fuse kept blowing out.  The A/C repairman said it was because we had the wrong amp fuse. We called and Walls came out and put in the correct amp fuse. Two weeks later the county inspector came out and and would not approve the installation sayig that  some of the fuses were old.  We called and they came out immediatly and fixed the problem (put in new fuses).  Question/Issue is that if they would have done the job correctly the first time they would not have to come out those two times and why did they not install new fuses??  They were responsive and apologetic for the mistake(s).

"I gave an A rating, despite some bumps on the scheduling. The A rating was earned by Danny and the work he did to get the various new light fixtures installed, both inside and outside. We have more fixtures to be installed, and we will have Danny back to finish the job."

"Steve answered all emails and questions promptly and gently. Jodie installed the panel and was satisfied ONLY when a full, complete check was done on the system. Josh was a tireless worker without complaining about the work and cleaned up even during the process. They were all OUTSTANDING and professional to the nth degree. Hire them for your next job."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
