"From estimate, to selection of The Juice Company, to scheduling, they made the entire process painless. Had 2 15 amp "peanut" breakers installed to replace an existing breaker and establish a new circuit, and 2 new outlets installed. We also had low voltage network cable roughed in so I could terminate it later, and everything was done not only properly, but quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done in the South Sound region."

"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."

"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

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 you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
