"I am extremely pleased with my services from Tripped Electric. From working with their administrative staff (Tessa) on scheduling, to the 4 electricians who worked at my home (Jacob, Skyler, Marcus, and Justin) -- this business could not be better at what they do or more professional. I would 100% work with Tripped again for any of my electrical needs."

"I highly recommend Alex Moody, owner of Skyline Electrical Services (425) 626-3679. He was recommended to me “without hesitation” by a retired contractor who has worked for me for years. Alex is experienced in all residential matters, but has also done major installations (i.e., fitness centers), and is certified by Tesla for related electrical issues. I’ve used Alex’s services twice in the past 4 months, initially for various electrical projects that included setting up my home security. Then, during the Christmas holidays, an urgent problem arose, due to significant corrosion of the wiring in my house which put my whole home in jeopardy. Alex and Bryce responded immediately, secured the necessary permit and utility company involvement, repaired the damage, and resolved the situation incredibly quickly. Given these experiences, I trust this company implicitly. Alex is a confident and skilled professional who will quickly assess your situation, propose options, do what he says he can do, in the time he estimates it will take, and at a fair cost. This company's a winner!"

"Prompt, professional, kind. I needed an EV charger port installation Anthony asked me to send photos and didn’t charge an initial $100+ fee, and stayed longer to assist in problem solving some issues of speed. I will definitely spread the word, and will rehire for any electrical needs in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

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.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.
