"I have been hiring Cody Malone since we purchased our house in July 2012. They have switched out outlets, installed indoor ceiling fans, installed outdoor ceiling fans, ran electrical to my outdoor water feature and switched out my light fixtures. I plan to hire them again when I add electric to my detached garage. They always do a great job and arrive when they say they will. I have never had a single issue and they have been to my house for no less than six different projects!"

"

They obtained local permits and secured the after-installation county inspection.  They demonstrated use of the interlock switch by turning off the main power grid, running the standby generator, hooking it up to the input box/main breaker, and testing several house circuits. Work was done professionally and on-time by Scotty and his brother.  Would use again.

"The sales associate was on time, install techs were on time and everything went great. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I have no experience with their service dept since nothing has gone wrong in the last 4 months. The did say I would not save money since my previous heat pump had a higher SEER rating than what I purchased but here they were wrong, I am saving money since the system works so well and it's quiet which my neighbor appreciates. They explained everything and did file manufacturers paper work. My best experience ever with a HVAC company"

"Ned quickly responded to my request for an in person quote and he provided me with a fair price for the work in the scope. Scheduling the work was also very easy. The panel replacement took the Bothwell team a couple hours from start to finish. Two issues: One, a receipt has not been provided for payment. A receipt may be sent via email through HomeAdvisor, but I am not certain of that. Two, the breaker panel in my condo was completely replaced. A little too much drywall was cut out to install the new panel and there is a 1/4" - 1/2" gap exposing the interior of the wall below the new panel cover. That being said, I would hire Bothwell again and would recommend them to others."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
