"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."

"In 2020 Eco Electric installed a Whole House Fan in our home. It has worked well for us and helps cool our home in the summer. Recently it stopped working. I called Eco and they sent Kyle out to diagnose our problem. Kyle was able to quickly isolate the problem to wiring in a recently installed smoke detector. He was able to fix the matter and get us back up and running. I do recommend Eco."

"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 ."

"We discovered that our 1913 craftsman home had faulty electrical wiring throughout the home that was in desperate need of improvement. Ion electric did a very thorough assessment of the property and what would be needed. Due to it being an older home there were some challenges figuring out how to get wiring to certain parts of the home but the workers did a great job minimizing the required access points that reduced need for additional drywall repairs. The workers were professional and courteous and went above & beyond to ensure we had a successful project. Everything worked out well and I would hire Ion again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

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.

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.
