"After we had completed some remodeling in the downstairs of our home . . . to make more room for guest quarters and general family use . . . we noticed that whenever we had guests stay with us . . . we were tripping a fuse . . . it just seemed that if the wrong combination of things were plugged it . . . pow . . . darkness in odd places throughout the house.  We'd simply re-trip the fuse box and life would go on BUT OVER TIME it became EMBARRASSING.  It would happen more often (especially with added electrical decorations) during the holidays.  We finally told ourselves ?there MUST BE a way to FIX this problem.  Lets get this taken care of before the next wave of friends, family and holidays come.?
We went to Angies list for an electrician recommendation and we really appreciated the reviews given for Thompson Electric.  The comments were the kind I would hope to be able to make for whoever we chose to come.   So I called Tom of Thompson Electric.  Tom first came by to get a first-hand feel for the work that we were wanting him to get done.  He was prompt, professional, walked with me through the house as he made an itemized list of what needed to be tackled.  He actually solved a fixture problem in one of our bathrooms (in 90 seconds) . . . and smiled.  I shared our list of electrical stuff that we wanted some professional attention; a couple of lighting fixtures that didn't work; a bathroom fan that made a horrible noise; some sockets that had burn marks around the openings; etc. and the BIG BLOW THE FUSE "Something's wrong with our downstairs wiring?? problem.
Tom was EXTREMELY GREAT about being available and flexible to our personal schedules.  One time I had to do an "oops" cancel of a day and it wasn't a problem.
On the day that Tom was to commence his work . . . he was GREAT about keeping in telephone contact on his actual arrival time in the morning (he needed to finish up a small task before coming our way) . . . he went right to work . . . very methodical, professional, with a all the tools and equipment needed for each task.  He brought in his assistant (a little later that day) to help him with some of the extensive troubleshooting, rewiring, running line [for the BIG problem] . . . and VIOLA the big problem and challenges were ALL fixed . . . basically in ONE visit.  [there was one small part that he had to come back to install a day later . . . took all of 10 minutes].
Tom was pushy . . . always recommended the most economical direct fix . . . shared my options as to how this or that could be best solved before proceeding. 
They CLEANED UP after themselves as they went . . . Tom found and fixed a couple of "other" small socket problems that he discovered along the way (and I had forgotten about).  I was VERY PLEASED with his work; his service; and final bill . . . which was MORE than FAIR considering the amount of work that needed to be done!!
It was a FIRST CLASS POSITIVE experience from beginning to end . . . AND I told a colleague of mine that I now have "an electrician" ....someone I know I can call when and if there's ever an electrical problem!!

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.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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.
