"We needed to upgrade the electrical in our mobile home and add power to our garage/shop. I called ASE and spoke to Art. He was able to come out that day and give a bid. Also met me at my son's house later that day to check out an electrical issue. Bids were very acceptable and work was scheduled. Work at my son's was done a couple days later. I requested a later date due to prep work and 2 electricians arrived right on time. I had all new receptacles installed, ran 3 new circuits (AC, extra hot water tank and split a previous circuit), wiring ran for new ceiling lights, rerouting old wiring and neatening wires from a wall removal. Our little garage/shop had only 1 available receptacle for everything (freezer, lights, etc). Now we have 16 receptacles for 110 and a drop cord for 220. We are so happy! Equipment that has been sitting for years can now be used and no more blowing a breaker if too many amps are used. In the house I can plug in the vacuum without having to crawl under the table or move something to get to a receptacle. Art, Jerron and Hayden were great to work with. They all listened to us, made suggestions and accomplished everything we needed. Highly recommend!!!!!"

"There was a manufacturer delay that slowed our project. Greener Futures kept me informed on the order progress regularly. They set and met the expectations for the date of installation. Work was clean and done on time. This was a large purchase and an important decision for our home. I am very confident in the work Greener Futures did. They are my electricians from now on."

"Prairie View Electric is an A+ business. I did a major remodel and addition which required dealing with old electrical wires going/coming from who knows where, installing electrical both inside and outside the home and added an RV hook up. Dustin was quick, he's a clear communicator and took the time to understand my needs and explain when something needed adjusted instead of just making assumptions. I highly recommend his company and will definitely use them again in the future!"

"I recently had a generator installed by Emerge Electrical, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The technicians arrived promptly and took the time to explain the entire process to me, answering all my questions about generator size, maintenance, and functionality. They worked efficiently and carefully, ensuring that the installation was seamless and met all safety standards. The team also took great care to keep my home clean, laying down protective covers and cleaning up after themselves. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. They made sure the generator was properly tested and walked me through how to operate it, providing useful tips for maintenance and troubleshooting. The generator itself has been running smoothly ever since, giving me peace of mind during power outages. I highly recommend Emerge Electrical for anyone in need of electrical services or generator installation. Their professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service set them apart from others in the industry. They’ve earned my trust, and I won’t hesitate to call them for any future electrical needs."

"The person I spoke with on the phone was very professional. They could fit me into the schedule within two days of my phone call. However, the price quoted to install my ceiling fan was about $50-$75 higher than two other electric companies that I contacted."

"Taylor installed three outdoor lights for me. I was so impressed with his work and ease to ask him questions that I'm also hiring him to replace multiple exhaust fans and smoke detectors in my home. I would highly recommend him to anyone with electrical issues."

"I needed an outlet added to the inside of our fireplace for the new gas fireplace fan. Jason showed up on time and got started on it even before the fireplace installation team showed up. He was courteous and gracious about having to wait. Once they arrived, he worked closely with the other team and did an excellent job on installing the outlet. I will definitely hire them again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

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.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
