"Fantastic! He was the first one who called from your suggested list. He was able to get the job done the next day! Super friendly and explained everything thoroughly to where I could understand it. (Layman’s terms) He and his apprentice were very professional. He is the sole owner of his business. I’d rather use guys like him than the Big name brand folks who are on billboards and/or TV commercials. Hats off to Dennis and his Emerald State Electric company!!! I would use him again and will refer to friends and family."

Puget Sound's Home Service Heroes! Offering Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, Duct & Sewer Services Hunt’s Services is a certified and licensed plumbing, heating, cooling, electrical, duct and sewer services company. We offer same day repairs and emergency services, with over 2,600 five-star reviews by our customers in Tacoma, Federal Way, Auburn, Puyallup, South Hill, Kent, Bellevue, Redmond, Seattle, Olympia and the nearby areas. We take pride in serving King, Pierce and parts of Kitsap and Thurston Counties for both residential and commercial needs with honesty, integrity, and dedicated service.

"had a deeply frustrating experience with Hunt’s HVAC Services that reflects a serious lack of professionalism and customer care. They contacted me early last week to schedule service for my HVAC system, and I agreed to their preferred date—the following Monday. I received a confirmation email on Sunday and a reminder Monday morning for the upcoming afternoon appointment. I drove 1.5 hours to the service site, only to be met with confusion and poor communication. When I called at 12:30 to ask for a specific arrival time, I was told the technician would contact me 30 minutes before arriving—but they couldn’t give me a time estimate. I waited another 2.5 hours before receiving a call informing me that no technician would be coming at all. My only options were to reschedule or cancel. I asked to speak with a manager and was placed on long hold. Eventually, I was told the manager was “too busy” to speak with me and would call me later. That call never came. This experience was a complete waste of time and resources, and the lack of accountability was appalling. Hunt’s HVAC Services failed to honor their commitment, communicate effectively, or show basic courtesy. I strongly advise others to stay away from this business."

"David was very no-nonsense, quickly assessed the problem and resolved it for a reasonable service call fee in about 20 minutes. He was thorough and professional, and Juice Company will be the first ones we call when were ready to do additional work. This was in contrast to another company who spent two hours giving us a hard sell on a complete overhaul of our home's electrical system but never got around to fixing our immediate issue."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

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.
