"I was impressed how quickly they contacted me to discuss my project, within in minutes I had someone schedule to come and look at the site and discuss what we needed. One week later there were at my house replacing the generator. The tech arrives on time and provide on-going update on the process. They left the project site so clean you would never know I have any work done in the area. I would highly recommend."

"Rock Electric was great. We had electricity brought to a new shop in our backyard. The Rock people were on time, they stayed in touch while we were scheduling and rescheduling. The initial visit went well and all the little details were worked out in a straightforward manner. No issues when we requested the work be permitted either. They were accommodating and professional When there was a question about the trench we dug that we thought met specs they reached out immediately and made sure they were ok to proceed. The job was done quickly and the permitting inspection was also done at the same time. Great customer service. They did a fine job of staying in touch for time frames. After initially speaking with some other outfits that never got back to us or did not show or call for their scheduled appts it was refreshing to work with a group with conscientious, communicative, customer oriented people. We would definitely hire them again if a project comes up. Thanks guys."

Customers say: Quick response

"Very responsive and professional on our first visit .Technician Charles Monday gets a five star review based on his thoroughness and professionalism .We have two old AC units that are not functioning well as they were installed when we moved to the house 21 years ago .Mr Monday came on time and spent hours in the attic taking care of a leak and cleaning the furnace and filters and motor ,and we are grateful .He explained each step and consulted with me and took photos to document the problems encountered .Whereas we are contemplating replacement due to the age ,we feel we got our problem taken care of until the nest step which is a replacement of our units .I was impressed with his knowledge base and how he took so much time in making sure the AC was in running condition when he left ."

"Dave from As You Wish did an excellent job completing a significant electrical project in my 1950's home to install multiple circuits in the living room and kitchen, Ethernet fiber and under cabinet lights. He is professional, experienced, and led his team to complete the job on time and with high quality. I highly recommend his work!"

"Kris is the owner of Ion Electric. Ion is new and I gather just getting started. But Kris is an expert electrician with many years experience in the field, and handled my call to request scheduling for electric services very professionally. He was patient with my questions and took the time to understand the issues I was having with my house. Ion was timely, accurate, and very professional at all times. The service was scheduled for the day after I called, which is rare. Shane is the electrician that performed the work. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable with a lot of electrical experience (20+ years). He arrived on time and wasted no time beginning work and getting the job done. This job took several hours to complete because I needed the following services: Replace an improper external ground wire in my home's electrical system by adding a new solid copper ground wire and new acorns on the rods. The wire had to be buried to meet code, so there was some digging that Shane had to do. Shane also upgraded the electrical panel with 9 new arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) combination breakers in my existing panel to match 5 previously installed AFCI breakers. This brought the panel up to current code. Shane recommend Arc Fault Combo breakers specific to my panel as they are safer than the previously installed GFCI breakers and can prevent potential fires caused by arc faults. A little Internet research on my part helped educate me about AFCI and confirmed Shane’s recommendation. After all that, Shane upgraded an existing plug outlet to a tamper/water resistant ground fault outlet and relocated the outlet because it was too close to my on- demand gas water heater (A big safety risk! Thanks for catching that one, Shane!). My house was rewired about a decade ago and the wiring was fairly current. However, there was some sloppy work done by the previous homeowner, and Shane made some great recommendations based on items he found to be either unsafe or outside of the standard of practice today. I felt that he was not upselling me. I asked about the quality of my panel and he was honest and pointed out a number of options to improve safety and upgrade to current code. Shane also checked all of the ground connections in the panel and found many of them were lose. He tightened those. I am somewhat familiar with electrical work (my Dad was an electrician), so I knew enough to tell that these guys know what they are doing. They are both licensed and bonded (I checked the WA gov site). They did a great job and I am very satisfied with Ion. The amount charged was as quoted. Since this was a fairly big job and I asked for some important upgrades, the job was expensive but worth every dollar. Finding an experienced and honest electrician is sometimes challenging, so when you find a couple of very good ones that know electrical and are honest, don't worry about cost. Expertise and quality is what you want. There is no substitute for safety where electrical wiring is concerned (Dad hammered that into me and my brothers’ heads repeatedly). My home and my family are much safer today for having these electrical system upgrades by Ion."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

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.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

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.
