"This Pro came over immediately to my Condo to look at my Kitchen light fixture electrical problem, analyzing it quickly to tell me what the problem was & how I could remedy it. I need to buy a new light fixture now due to a light socket problem!"

"Matthew did a fantastic job installing our new quad-receptacle GFCI outlet in our basement. We will absolutely hire him again in the future!! He was polite, punctual, communicated well with us, and his pricing was very reasonable. He cleaned up after his work, which we appreciated. He's definitely a professional electrician that I would refer to my family and friends."

"We are new to the Milwaukee area and have remodeled several rooms in our house. The first couple of projects were a nightmare because of contractors that were slow and did not do quality work. When we hired Marty, we were hesitant because of our recent experiences. To our relief, Marty was everything we had been looking for. He was extremely responsive from the moment we contacted him and did everything he said he would in the exact time frame promised. After our inspection, our inspector said to me "Matt, I'm glad that your luck has changed after that last couple projects. Keep using this electrician, he's a professional." On top of being extremely satisfied with every aspect of Marty and how he conducts business, his pricing was about 40% less than his competitors. He's a young entrepreneur that understands the importance of keeping his word and showed me that he will do everything he can to continue his stellar reputation in Milwaukee and ensure the success of his business. I will continue to use Marty for any electrical needs I have in the future. The larger overpriced electrical companies in Milwaukee better watch out, Marty is a formidable competitor that will understandably take a lot of their business and bring the much needed "value" that milwaukeans with electrical needs have been waiting for."

"They did a great job. Very efficient and had great communication. When something came up we were made aware of it and it was also taken care in a timely fashion. Dorow's team made sure that everything was completed and met the criteria. Once the work was completed they made sure we had all documents needed for the inspector and once the inspector did the inspection and if anything needed to be added Dorow's crew made came out and added the necessary components. Overall very satisfied with a job well done!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

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 most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

While diesel is relatively stable, it won’t last nearly as long as propane and you may have to replace it if it sits unused for too long. Diesel can sometimes struggle to work efficiently or start engines during especially cold weather, so it’s not the best choice for every climate. Compared to fuels like propane and natural gas, diesel generators tend to be noisier and create more exhaust, which isn’t always ideal for home use.

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.
