"I just wanted to say that this was my first experience with a trades company in my home and I had no idea what to expect. I was blown away at the professionalism and attention to detail from Arron and Matt. They showed me how much I was overpaying by having a tank water heater and they were able to remove the tank and install a tankless SAME DAY!! I will never use another company other than Eco."

"We had As You Wish come out and quote a panel upgrade for a new generator setup with direct plug. All Generac equipment. They took a small deposit and came back a few days later and did the work. Drivers came from Tacoma area and were on time. Techs were Alejandro and I didn't catch the other guys name. Super nice and knowledgeable. They got everything staged, boxes mounted to the walls and ready to go before turning off the power to hook it all up. Once they had the power off, they worked quickly and got it done and the power was back on. Once it was done, they cleaned up and showed me how to use the system when I need it for the next power outage. When it came time to pay the balance, it was exactly what was quoted and not a penny more. Its was a refreshing experience to have both great techs and no surprises for the payments. I will absolutely have them do any other work I need on this property without hesitation. Total invoice was $5,323"

"G&S did an excellent job installing our new furnace and AC unit. The best thing about G&S is that they warranty for 1 year. The circuit board in our furnace failed within a couple of months (no fault of G&S). Manufacturers warranty would cover the parts cost but G&S repaired and covered labor cost under their warranty. Also they diagnosed the issue and repaired very quickly. Definitely A++ installation and service."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.

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.

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.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
