"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."

"Juice Electrical Company earned a 5 star PLUS rating! From the initial email to completing the project, every step of the job was done in a prompt, courteous, professional and competent manner. The final cost was exactly what I was quoted; allowing and encouraging my input during the installation to make sure I was 100% satisfied. The friendly and expert service earned a 5 star rating from me, as well as, my overly critical and picky spouse - �That looks wonderful. They know what they�re doing!� I will definitely call them the next time I need any electrical work done and will encourage my friends and family to do so, as well."

"I had told them I would be buying an EV and they said to give them a ring when I was ready to install the charger. Bought the car on Saturday, called them on Monday, installed on Thursday with no drama, apparently excellent workmanship, and in a timely manner. They were even able to do it without disturbing our internet access despite having to move breakers around."

"From start to finish, this crew did an outstanding job of making sure my generator panel and switch were placed logically and cleanly. I really appreciate the time they took, especially Miguel who walked me through each step. Highly recommend."

"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 questions, answered by experts

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
