"From the estimate with Tyler, to install, through follow up support, SeaTown was exceptional. They were not the cheapest, but Tyler took the time to understand our needs and answer all of our questions. Way more knowledgeable and friendly then the other two quotes we got. Tyler made it an easy choice to go with SeaTown."

"DES installed 2 new electrical outlets, 2 new electrical panels, 3 wall heaters with dedicated circuits, and other miscellaneous electrical work. They explained options and what they would need to do to get the job done correctly. They arrived at the scheduled times, worked around our dog, explained the work they were doing, were friendly and easy to work with, and explained color and size options. When a light malfunctioned, they quickly scheduled an appointment for the waranty work which I am very satisfied with. I would hire them again."

"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."

"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."

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.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

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.
