"The job went great! Livengood Electric went over and above my expectations for this project. This wasn’t the easiest project out there on sure but with Jake’s expertise he was able to make short work of the project. We have a new service panel do you provide us years ofTrouble free electrical service, and a new generator but when the power goes out! We couldn’t be happier! Thanks again Jake!"

"Work Randy's done has been excellant. The only problem for me, is that he has a very busy schedule and has to fit work on my house in when he has the chance. Based on work done so far I'd highly recommend him. In fact, I have.

"Went great. I was able to remove my old wood stove and window unit A.C. out of my shop after they installed my Mini split unit. They communicated very well with a detailed estimate, so there was no confusion. They were also able to put the unit exactly where I wanted it with no complications. Quick and effective. I wish I would have done it sooner. I'm a "repeat customer.""

"I have worked with this company to do a large amount of electrical work during the renovation of my nearly 100 year old home over a number of years. I’m completely satisfied with all aspects and phases of work that Valley Electrical Services did. There was nothing that I wanted/needed done that this company could not do. That work included replacing the knob and tube wiring, upgrading the home and garage electrical boxes, new lights, switches and outlets in my dining room, living room, main floor bathroom, office, hallways and bedrooms. Completely new electrical work throughout a gutted and expanded kitchen that included under cabinet LED lights. A back dormer was added that included 2 new full bathrooms and wiring through the plaster walls from the basement to the second floor. New lights, switches and outlets in the garage, outside the garage, house, front porch and carport. The workers showed up on time, cleaned up at the end of the day and completed the work on time. There was also no billing surprises. I was completely comfortable leaving them to work in the house while I was not here. This is a company that takes pride in its work. I feel lucky to have found them, would recommend them for any electrical work and and finally no, I’m not a relative. You couldn’t do better with this company doing whatever electrical work you need or want."

"They put a roof on my storage building. They built me a new deck with reinforcement for a hot tub. They also installed the electrical system required for my hot tub. The service and quality of the job was amazing. They gave step by step detail of what they were going to do along the way. It looks so good. We couldnt be happier. Also they were less expensive than the other estimates that we had. You wont be disappointed. Sincerely, Glenda Clark"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

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

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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.
