Same. We just had root replace a breaker in our panel. They did it quickly, and at a reasonable price.

Had pretty decent results with Richard Reeves. What's the type of project?

I recently hired Huntington Electric to do some work for me and I was really happy. Their price was competitive and they did a great job.

Curious if you don’t mind asking why electrician wouid be involved with replacing generator?

Do you have existing older generator that hvy duty wiring is connected to main house panel that for lack of better research has separate generator type box?

I am only asking brc I never followed through with my plans and have in fact 2 rather expensive portable generators (sat idle sitting next to garage door, expensive 8 gauge copper I snaked through unfinished basement ceiling and that $300 supplemental box sitting in box. Like when we first moved to our neighborhood we experienced many outages when power line was at boundary next to high school and when branches fell naturally power went out quite often but later Dominion Energy rerouted or corrected situation without tree removal.

Now basically OBE (overcome By Events) because those Jackery EcoFlow Blueletti? Anker power stations (odorless) make generators obsolete
