"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."

"In addition to the Generator his team also replaced my ageing electrical panel. The work was done in a timely manor, with no follow on issues. Pricing was competitive. I chose this company as they went the extra mile with the panel. I will definitely use them in the future, a five star company."

"Skipper & Sons installed a entryway chandelier in high ceiling 18' tall. They installed a new light and switch in an unfinished closet, and 3 new canned lights and new switch in my master bedroom. They also fixed the wiring in an existing switch in the downstairs hallway. They did professional electrical work."

"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."

"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

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

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.

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.
