"Andy (Owner?) stopped by 2 hrs. late to give initial quote for project that I requested on Angi listed as "Install Electrical Switches, Outlets, or Fixtures" agreed on price. When Andy asked if there was anything else, I said there were a couple of fixtures that I was gonna replace, but I wasn't willing to pay an electrician for such a small job. He chuckled and agreed. I got other quotes, but this company had the best estimate for the project I requested. End of job, tech told me that the owner wanted $300 more than he quoted! I called the owner right then. He argued with me saying that I told him I only wanted fixtures replaced when he was here. I said that there were texts between us that confirmed the work to be done as well as the price. He argued more and then told me he hoped that I wasn't gonna make problems in the neighborhood? He tried to manipulate me into not leaving a negative review by saying he's a small company trying to make a living. Worst experience I've EVER had."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

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.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
