"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

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

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.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
