"Preston and his crew were extremely busy with the fires in the area but still made time to get our project done. They did an outstanding job and did a very clean looking appearance on the home. Overall very pleased and will definitely look to use Eagle again for our future jobs."

"Thomas at Thunderbird Power is fantastic. He KNOWS his trade (a 3rd generation electrician)! Had 2 electricians last year try to fix some broken outlets, after 1.5 hours couldn't figure it out. Another electrician troubleshot it recently and his diagnostic tests ended up NOT being the issue. Thomas had them fixed in 30 minutes and didn't have separate charges for troubleshooting ontop of fixing, just took care of it. He was WAY cheaper than all the other electricians who quoted me in the area for that and replacing all our light fixtures + fixing other issues; I spoke to 6 different electrians in depth about our projects (8 including previous guys). He was the ONLY electrician who did not make a big deal about fans, nor talked small projects into huge ones and needing a second person to help him with all the work, etc. But he did the work in the same amount of time, alone. He was very professional, timely, detail-oriented, neat, and personable (dogs ADORED him). Will hire again!!!"

"AP&L is very professional, knowledgeable, clean, and met the requirements of our build schedule. We built a 3800 sq ft contemporary home with back up generator. Very knowledgeable and assisted with lighting design and low volt controls for window treatments and security. Pricing was competitive and crew was onsite as scheduled with all materials need to complete the project. Highly recommended!"

"I needed cat5 installed into the walls before a painter was scheduled and they were able to schedule me quickly. Kevin was very helpful with a couple issues and even found a safety problem we didn't know we had. He went above and beyond what we hired him for. He and his partner were fast, efficient, helpful and very pleasant to work with. We will hire them again. Great company!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

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.
