"Sparky was great.  He assessed the problems and fixed all of them in an efficient manner.  He really knows his stuff.  My track lighting was totally screwed up - he had to get up in the attic and run new wires and install a new switch.  He knocked it out of the park.  6 months later, all things that he worked on are working great.  Highly recommend his services."

"There is no air conditioning on the first floor of the non-profit house for which I am Property Director.  With the donation of and installation of a window AC unit, it was suggested that a ceiling fan in the living room (where the AC unit was installed) would help circulate the cool air.  I had worked w/Horizon Electric previously for electrical repairs, but not for an installation requiring new wiring, etc.  The owner, Lee, met me at the house within a few days and almost immediately found a way to wire in a new ceiling fan in the living room.  With further discussion we decided a ceiling fan w/lights would also be worthwhile in the dining area.  In that case he had to extend wiring to this adjacent room and, again, came up with a solution.   He quoted me a price for the installation of the living room fan only and another for the installation of both fans.  
With Board of Directors approval I was able to get back to him within the week and the following week both fans were installed. Even though Lee had told me that his workload was out 2-3 weeks, he understood the importance of getting these fans installed 
and that was done in record time.  The House Manager reported to me that the workman finished the installation of the fans we provided in one day, as promised, and, even with the house residents present (including young children), left nothing lying about that could be hazardous to anyone, was efficient and cleaned up the work area thoroughly after he was done.
We were billed the amount quoted.
I would definitely use this company again and highly recommend it.

Generator Install FAQs, answered by experts

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.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

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. 

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.
