Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Everything was smooth in terms of the project. There was a hiccup with the quote I got because they mistaken the installation as an indoor installation. But it was outdoors. We agreed on a price that worked (which was higher than initial quote). They did a great job and made sure inspection was done. Great job. I would go back for future electrical projects."

As a locally owned and operated business, we take pride in providing exceptional electrical services to our neighbors. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has earned us a reputation as the go-to electrical experts in the region.

"They ran into some weird problems with my old 1978 ground wires and ancient fuse box. Didnt slow 'em down. They had the whole thing ripped out, replaced with a better one, rotohammered and re-grounded my house, showed and told me what they were doing and what to expect. They worked with me to get my estimate to what made the most sense. Advised about fixtures and future proofing. 11/10 Mike an Nick were great. So good in fact, I'm setting up some more work. They were experienced, they were nice (fun even!)and no egos! Thats an almost impossible combo."

We have extensive experience in helping our customers design home electrical layouts and features to best meet their needs and budgets.

"Gosh, i just can't say enough good things. I needed to have some dedicated outlets installed in our garage and also to have our circuit box looked as since I was convinced they whole thing needed to be replaced due to the age of our house. I reached out to several different companies who were either months out, never responded or no-showed completely. Joseph called me back ASAP, admitted he was booked out but asked me to text him photos of the areas of concern. He quoted me based on the photos and then came out quickly since it was a job with a quick turnaround. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The work was done in short time and he even looked at a potential hazard and remedied that for me. Good professionals are hard to find and I am so glad to now add a fantastic electrician to our home improvement arsenal."

"My husband and I recently remodeled a new home and hired Dandy Electric to take care of all the electrical work?and we couldn?t be happier with the results. From the start, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They installed all-new wiring where needed, upgraded the panel, and added can lights exactly where we wanted them throughout the house. Their ability to adapt to changes during the remodel and offer suggestions that made the layout more functional, was a tremendous help.The quality of their work really shows?they paid attention to every detail, kept things neat, and stayed on schedule. If you?re remodeling or building and need a trustworthy, skilled electrical team, we highly recommend Dandy Electric."

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 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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

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.
