"Went great. Really appreciate the research and prep Jeremy did ahead of coming into the quote. He had smart options picked out, and was also ready to do it my way. The "can do" attitude was great. He arrived early. Did the install work on a Saturday, which was super convenient for me and my family. As with any project, unforseen obstacles were encountered. Jeremy brought them to my attention, proposed a path forward. And we went with it. Long story short, great job. Already have him on the schedule for the next project!"

"We discovered a strange odor and went to investigate. We found smoke coming from a breaker in our breaker box. I called Fusion Electrical Services right away. Parker was here in two hours. He located the cause of the problem quickly, checked for any other problems, and made the the repairs. Everyone from the person who took my call to the electrician were very polite and went the extra mile to get our repair completed in a timely manner. Service was great, the price was very reasonable. I have called on Fusion Electrical Services to do the necessary wiring to install a lift in my garage and was very happy with the work. I highly recommend this company."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
