"Skipper & Sons installed a entryway chandelier in high ceiling 18' tall. They installed a new light and switch in an unfinished closet, and 3 new canned lights and new switch in my master bedroom. They also fixed the wiring in an existing switch in the downstairs hallway. They did professional electrical work."

"Nick installed an EV charger for us. Nick did quality work and was very friendly. Even after the installation was complete, he stuck around to ensure everything was working as expected. It initially wasn t, but that turned out to be related to an issue with how the mobile app on my phone was set up, and not related to any work he did. He stuck around while on the phone with tech support and had to cancel a couple of appointments later that evening to ensure my project was complete, and remained patient throughout. Great customer service! I would absolutely recommend this company, and Nick in particular."

"We had In-House Electrical replace/upgrade our main panel as well as setup a generator hook-up and A/C outlet outside. Adam and Avery were phenomenal - they were thorough, kept in constant communication with me during the project to ensure things were being done as I liked, and left the place looking better than when they showed up. They'll be my first call in the future for any electrical work I need done."

"I called Voltlab and Evan Cade to advise me on what to do about some ungrounded outlets in my house. After helpful discussion during a complimentary inspection of the rest of my electrical system it was clear I needed serious attention to more than a few outlets. What I thought would be a simple service call turned into a service upgrade and partial rewire. Though I was surprised with the amount of work required to bring the house up to code, Evan's obvious knowledge and straightforward approach to the work made me comfortable trusting Voltlab and Evan with the project. About 9 days of work was spread over a month from first visit to last inspection and all went smoothly. Evan coordinated scheduling with city officials and inspectors and kept me informed at all times. His crew of electricians did a great job and respected me, my home and property. They are a talented and very experienced team. Evan is rightfully proud of the company he is building. Highly recommended."

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
