"I would recommend Current Electric to anyone! They are affordable, professional, and customer service oriented. We had Eric as our electrician and he went above and beyond for us. We had a new outlet installed, can lights installed, and ceiling fans installed. He kept us informed the whole time with updates on progress, time frames, and got our input along the way. We will definitely be using Current for all of our electric needs."

"This is the first time I used Mr. Sparky, and they will definitely be my new go to electricians! I love that they are a small locally owned business! I called about a small non-urgent project, and they were able to come the same day, despite being backed up due to many local flooding issues. Kasey was extremely friendly and helpful on the phone and communication was excellent from start to finish. James showed up on time and was very sweet, yet professional, and my cats even loved him :) He was respectful of me and my property, and took care of my issue in no time. The price was very reasonable! I will definitely call them again, and would highly recommend!"

"Jim, is an outstanding electrician and a great person to work with. He showed up exactly on time for the free estimate. He was courteous. I did a lot of research looking for a contractor for my job. Jim from 'Powerhouse' was the first of my many estimates. I'm extremely happy I chose him. As far as the work he did for me is concerned, it was extraordinary! He went above and beyond. Explained things and answered all of my many questions very well!!! It is unusual to find a person like Jim from Powerhouse LLC. I would and will recommend him to everyone who needs electrical help. He was even kind enough to be flexible on the day we scheduled for the work to be done. I was running a little late and he was so kind and able to arrive at an adjusted time. Thank you so much, Jim! Randy K P.S. The estimate he gave me was was spot on and didn't go one penny more."

"All of their technicians were very professional and polite and helped me understand what was going on every step of the way, from the initial inspection, diagnosing the issue, deciding on a new furnace, and through the installation process. When the inspection showed that my furnace was no longer working, they even shuffled some appointments around to make sure I had working heat before it started getting too cold outside. Not only did they do a great job installing the new furnace and AC, they went out of their way to clean up the basement and duct work a bit and left things looking even better than when they got there! Mike was my technician for the initial inspection and Austin worked on the Furnace and AC install. There were a couple other techs with them as well who's names I didn't quite catch, but all of them were great!"

"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."

"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."

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.

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.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
