"This was such an easy experience for us. Everlight Solar did all the planning, completed all required forms, obtained permits, everything! When all approvals were in, they came and installed the electric and then the panels. It was turned on within a couple days. There has never been a problem with the system and we are delighted to be doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint for the planet. We have been very happy with the entire process, installation and service from Everlight Solar!"

"Unstoppable Electric LLC just installed our Tesla Wall Connector, and wow—what an incredible experience. They were super responsive from the first message, easy to schedule, and showed up right on time. Max is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely nice to talk to. He took his time to do everything perfectly—clean, precise, top-quality work with no rush whatsoever. Explained everything clearly, made smart suggestions, and left the garage looking flawless. Pricing was fair and transparent—no surprises. Definitely now my go-to electrician in the area! 10/10 recommend! Thanks again for the stellar work! ⚡️🚗"

"We had a complicated wiring issue in our bathroom ceiling light. AB took my call and offered to schedule a service I two days. When I explained there was no light in the room, they agreed right away to come early the next morning. It was not an easy job but after a few hours all was resolved to our utmost satisfaction. They were quick to come, neat and professional in their work. Everything is expensive now but they were worth their price."

"Wayne came over to give me a free estimate and had also worked me into his schedule on the very next day. On the day of the job Wayne and Zachary came to my house to fix a wiring problem and install a light. They were very friendly and arrived promptly. The total cost of the job was exactly what Wayne had given me as an estimate. Thanks! -Julia"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two.
