Generator Sales & Service

Sales

Generator sales are becoming increasingly popular amongst homeowners with power outages becoming more and more common. We are proud to be one of the leading generator sales & service businesses in the Quad City area and their families. One of the main questions people ask when it comes to buying a generator is what size will they need for their home? The answer can vary depending on the appliances you have in your home that you want to stay on during a power outage. The general rule of thumb for finding out what size generator you need is to add up the wattage needed to power the things you want to stay on when the power is out. Once you have found the sum of all the things that are going to stay on with the generator you are able to figure out what size generator you will need.

Service

We do more than sell you a generator, we also service them! To keep your generator at its peak working condition you will need to have it regularly serviced. Just like any other machine, wear and tear is normal but it does not mean that the generator is unusable.

Furthermore, for more information about generators whether it’s sales or services – check out our Generator Sales & Services page.

Our technician can help with your wiring and re-wiring needs.

When wiring a new home is a very crucial step in the construction process of a new build. This step in the process will have lasting effects on you and your family so it is important that it is done right – the first time. We get the job done correctly the first time so that you can your family can move in to your new home worry free, when it comes to your electrical systems. Correct and functional wiring can make life in your new home happy or completely miserable. When you move in to your home the main focus should be settling in rather than having to continually call electricians because your lights or outlets have no power to them.

In any case, we always recommend hiring a professional to wire your home. Wiring it yourself or with you buddies over the weekend can lead to deadly issues. When a professional does not wire your home you leave yourself and your family vulnerable to house fires, electrocution, and costly repairs.

Re-Wiring

Many people do not realize that re-wiring a home is more complicated than simply switching out a wire here and there. In addition, when your home was built or when it was last re-wired can impact whether or not your home should be re-wired. For example, in the 1960’s and 1970’s the price of copper soared and electricians began to use aluminum wiring instead. However, aluminum circuit wiring will break down and become defective much faster than copper. Unfortunately, this breaking down can lead to an electrical fire breaking out in your home. There are other instances of why you need your home may need to be re-wired and we are here to help you determine whether or not your home fits the criteria to be re-wired.

To be clear, we will always urge you to call a professional for any re-wiring issues you encounter. Re-wiring may seem simple but most of the time an expert is needed for the issue to be resolved correctly. You may believe that re-wiring work you are going to do is simple, and it may be, but you can still end up electrocuted or starting a fire at your home. If you are looking to re-wire your home please get in contact with us, we are happy to help!
