"Jim was very fast at coming to evaluate what we all needed to have done. He did a great job and cleaned up after he was finished. While he was here we had an issue come up for another electrical problem and he ordered the part and came back as soon as he got the part. Will definitely hire him again when we need electrical work."

"Tony installed soffit lights in our home and garage. We couldnâ t be happier with the results. Work was performed with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. He even took the time to completely explain how to use an app to control the lights installed. We would highly recommend Freedom Electric."

"I hired them for some electrical work at my home and was impressed right away with how straightforward and honest they were. The pricing was very fair compared to other quotes I received, and they took the time to explain exactly what I was paying for so there were no surprises. The technician arrived on time, worked efficiently, and clearly knew what he was doing. Everything was completed to a high standard, and you can tell they focus on doing quality work rather than cutting corners. It’s not easy to find someone who balances good pricing with solid workmanship, but they nailed both. Overall, great value for the money. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable service at a fair price, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again."

"Elliott does great work for a great price. He installed a new 100 amp breaker box and updated some of the house wiring to accommodate the new service. He also wired the newly renovated basement with all the wiring and installed all the outlets, switches and drop ceiling LED lights that have dimmer capability. He is meticulous in what he does."

"He showed up in a timely manner. He did the job quickly. There was a shorted wire that he had to re-run and pull through the existing pipe. So far it's all working great and has not needed to return. So far everything working great."

"We were very pleased with the caulking and painting work Alex recently did for us. The caulking work was near perfect, and the thorough prep work before painting was notable. He went out of his way to guarantee our satisfaction with our painting project. We have no reservations recommending Alex and would hire him again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

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.
