"I was able to receive an estimate for work over the phone, and the actual price was very close. I added 2 outlets when the crew arrived which was why the price was a little more. We had a power cable that had to be cut for a new door installation which disabled a lot more than we expected and the crew reconnected and added 2 outlets for us. Both guys that were here to do the work were awesome to work with, listened to what I was explaining and asking for and got right to work even with the door contractor working onsite. They were friendly, professional and very quick to get the work completed. Before we knew it, they were on their way. We will definitely be using this company for our electrical work in the future. What a refreshing change to have polite and professional contractors doing work for you and what you asked for!"

"The electricians (team of two) arrived promptly at 8:00 AM as promised. After examining my request for wiring, switches, and plugs, they advised me to install a new dedicated 20 amp line to my electrical panel due to the added electrical load. I now have a new GFCI outlet in my toilet room for our new heated toilet seat. They also added a new switch and electrical box for our new towel warmer. All this on a dedicated line with a new circuit breaker. The job took around 2 1/2 hours so 5 hours total work hours. The price was extremely reasonable. Most surprisingly, I will not need any sheet rock work as they were able to do everything with some very neat tools so no holes in the wall except of course where the electrical boxes now reside. I would highly recommend this company. Their work is outstanding and the advise they offered was extremely helpful!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

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.
