"We needed to upgrade the electrical in our mobile home and add power to our garage/shop. I called ASE and spoke to Art. He was able to come out that day and give a bid. Also met me at my son's house later that day to check out an electrical issue. Bids were very acceptable and work was scheduled. Work at my son's was done a couple days later. I requested a later date due to prep work and 2 electricians arrived right on time. I had all new receptacles installed, ran 3 new circuits (AC, extra hot water tank and split a previous circuit), wiring ran for new ceiling lights, rerouting old wiring and neatening wires from a wall removal. Our little garage/shop had only 1 available receptacle for everything (freezer, lights, etc). Now we have 16 receptacles for 110 and a drop cord for 220. We are so happy! Equipment that has been sitting for years can now be used and no more blowing a breaker if too many amps are used. In the house I can plug in the vacuum without having to crawl under the table or move something to get to a receptacle. Art, Jerron and Hayden were great to work with. They all listened to us, made suggestions and accomplished everything we needed. Highly recommend!!!!!"

"John and Brian were prompt, professional, and had the work done in good time. They obviously work well together and enjoy their work. They gave me exactly what I wanted and didn't try to hard sell me something I didn't need. I would recommend definitely them, in fact I already have! Next time I need electrical work done, I am probably not going to even get bids, I will just call Greener Futures."

"Hired Ryan to install a 30 Amp feed for a cooktop. After shopping around for cook tops, found it needed a 40 Amp feed. I contacted him with this update and also asked for a 30 AMP RV plug onn our outside wall. He had no problem in making the adjustment. His people showed up on time and proceeded to install the wiring from the electrical box to the kitchen. They then installed the outdoor box. The installers were pleasant to talk to and did not waste any time doing the install. They sealed all holes that had to be cut and cleaned up after themselves. Definitely would recommend Varsity Electric for anyone thinking about having electrical work done. Thank you Ryan. Add on. As we did not have the cook top on hand when they installed the circuit, they said to call them when it came in and they would install it. Also had to wait for the cutout to be enlarged. That happened today, so I call Varsity and they came out to finish the install. Technicians were conscientious and ensured we were happy with the work before they left. Again I would recommend this company. Would give them a higher rating, but the stars only go to 5. Again, Thanks Ryan and crew. Job well done."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
