We are committed to delivering excellence in electrical systems, HVAC solutions, home lighting, backup power options, and comprehensive annual maintenance plans to homeowners throughout Olympia, Tumwater, Longview, and surrounding Washington areas.

"I recently had a generator installed by Emerge Electrical, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The technicians arrived promptly and took the time to explain the entire process to me, answering all my questions about generator size, maintenance, and functionality. They worked efficiently and carefully, ensuring that the installation was seamless and met all safety standards. The team also took great care to keep my home clean, laying down protective covers and cleaning up after themselves. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. They made sure the generator was properly tested and walked me through how to operate it, providing useful tips for maintenance and troubleshooting. The generator itself has been running smoothly ever since, giving me peace of mind during power outages. I highly recommend Emerge Electrical for anyone in need of electrical services or generator installation.

We are a woman and family owned company based out of Castle Rock, WA. My husband and I are both electricians with a combined 15 years experience. We strive to provide quality workmanship and excellent customer service to ensure you and your home are well taken care of. We look forward to working with you on your next project!

"This was a new $800,000.00 home We still don't have the house signed off from Cowlitz county planning because of Fusion Electrical Services LLC have not completed it BUT WERE PAID IN FULL OVER A YEAR AGO.My mini split has not been completed in 13 months, my breaker panel hasn't been put back together in a year, I paid parker and alissa in full.The owner Alissa tried to put a protective order against me back in August because I sent her text message asking when will they complete my job. I sent her a correction notice from Cowlitz county planning showing her all the correction needed. The Judge said me texting to get my job done was NOT harrassment. Since then I found out from Feltons HVAC good guys, that the electrical wires that Fusion spliced Diakin says no you can't, that is why my mini split won't work. They cut my new cooling lines I supplied in the kit, they said they had to because the lines were to short. That is not true it's because Parker had no clue what he was doing and didn't install the inside unit first then measure the lines and wires then set the height of the outside unit. We are forced to go back to court in a few months. They received 3 separate violation from WASHINGTON STATE LNI on my new home, now LNI just notified us about some other things. Parker and his company are not licensed to do HVAC work, he said he was licensed and bonded for HVAC he lied, FYI you cant file a lien on thier bond for HVAC even though they did the work and destroyed my install kit for my mini splite, I have a invoices from another company to fix the mess, replace the destroyed kit and complete the job on the mini split for over $5000.00 and for electrical over $5000.00 She won't resolve it I have tons of text messages asking her to just get it completed, she tells me she will jerry rigge it with no new parts, I paid for new I want the job done correctly . I hope this helps another consumer to be protected"

"After having ur system assessed and some minor repairs and getting a quote from Isaiah, we had him replace/update all our switches and plugs. It was affordable with Emerge's financing and he did a fantastic job. He even chose white to match our recently painted walls and modern switches to make the house more up to date. He cleaned up the work areas and was a pleasure to communicate with. The experience couldn't have been better, thank you Emerge and thank you Isaiah! If anyone asks us to recommend an electrician it is Emerge :)"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

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.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
