"The contractor sent to my house was NOT a licensed electrician. I was told a free quote was 39.99, that turned to 59.99 when I got the estimate and it was waaaaaay over priced and then wanted me to pay a fee to get a warranty for their work! I would have expected a warranty on his work should have been given to me! I needed the job done right away, he was pleasant and courteous but never again with this company."

"Kevin Williams was sent to repair problems created by another electrician hired by Kitchen Saver during an expansive kitchen re-face and cabinet installation. Among other things, he re-located an unsightly transformer that had been previously secured to the inside of the first shelf of a main kitchen cabinet to a lower cabinet out of sight. Voila! Then, he re-routed unsightly wiring previously clamped to the far corner of a glass display cabinet so that it was out of sight. These were difficult puzzles to solve, as the new cabinets had already been installed and there was no longer easy access. Kevin was friendly, professional, and experienced! Great job!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Arlington’s humid summers and unpredictable storms make generator installation especially valuable, but also present unique challenges. High humidity can affect electrical components, so moisture protection and ventilation are essential. Winter ice may delay site work or concrete pad installation. Planning for proper drainage and corrosion-resistant materials helps your standby generator withstand local weather, while scheduling projects outside peak storm periods can help avoid supply delays.

Helpful?

Combining generator installation with upgrades like electrical panel replacements, surge protection, or outdoor lighting in Arlington can streamline the process. Coordinating projects may reduce permit fees and inspection visits, and contractors often offer package discounts. Bundling work also helps minimize disruptions and ensures all systems are compatible, especially if your neighborhood has HOA requirements or specific local building standards.

Helpful?

Generator installation in Arlington requires monthly self-tests, annual oil and air filter changes, and semi-annual battery inspections. With humid summers, check for moisture buildup and ensure proper ventilation. Before winter, use fuel stabilizers and inspect the enclosure for weatherproofing. Schedule professional inspections each year and have gas lines checked periodically to maintain safety and reliability, especially before hurricane or severe weather seasons.

Helpful?

In Arlington, be cautious of generator installation quotes that lack detail or exclude essential tasks like electrical connections or site preparation. Reliable professionals provide written estimates, local references, and clear warranty terms. Watch for contractors unfamiliar with HOA guidelines or local permit processes. Avoid those who use high-pressure sales tactics or demand large upfront payments, as these can signal inexperience or potential issues with project completion.

Helpful?

In Arlington, generator installation projects typically take two to eight weeks from start to finish, factoring in permit reviews and any required approvals. The hands-on installation of a standby generator is usually completed in one to three days, including site preparation, electrical and gas hookups, and system testing. Plan ahead for possible delays due to permit backlogs, HOA reviews, or equipment shortages, especially during peak storm seasons.
