"Aaron from Dedicated did great work, they removed my knob and tube wiring with only one cut to the wallboard; they did most of the work from the attic and crawl spaces. It was a huge job and they upgraded two light fixtures and installed smart lighting in several places. With the sunrise/sunset setting on my front porch, I never have to worry about turning on and off the light."

"Three electricians worked on the job & completed it in 3 1/2 hours! I was expecting it to be done in 5-6 hours. They even hooked their generator up to my big freezer! The City inspector just checked their work, said it was a job well done! I would definitely hire them again."

"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."

"Needed to run 40 Amps to an outdoor heat pump. Made the appointment last minute, they showed up the day the heat pump was being put in. Figured out I could reorg my panel instead of add amps. Did the work immediately. Ran the outlet and charged me $1700 less than my other quote. I highly recommend the juice company."

"SeaTown installed a standby generator. They provided us with a wide range of options, and were very good about advising us of the ramifications and external costs associated with each. They coordinated permits, locates and utility requirements, making the process easy for us. The installers were courteous, respectful of our property, and did a fine job. We are now using them to install AC."

"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!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

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.

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.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.
