J.L.D. Electric is a locally owned and operated business. We specialize electrical wiring and upgrading for your home or business. We will provide you with the same great quality work that has kept us in business for years because we feel that our customers come first.
"I had them replace a Circuit Breaker Box in a new home I just purchased. Additionally, they replaced 4 GFCI outlets (meaning they upgraded them to code). Anyway, they showed up at 9 o'clock sharp, worked quickly, quietly, and efficiently. Even with one of my dachshunds who has never quite learned the value of NOT barking at strangers, they acted as if the annoying dog wasn't there. Very polite and courteous. As they left once the job was complete (9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon) they mentioned that if we noticed anything wasn't right for us to call them and they'd come back out and investigate. The next morning we noticed one of the GFCI outlets wasn't working correctly and there was one other small issue that needed attention. I texted them, told them that noon would work for me, and literally at exactly 12:00 they showed up to correct the minor issues. Great customer service and professional as well. Big job with a big price tag but in the end, I know that my new home has a Circuit Breaker Panel that will function as required when needed instead of burning my house down. Not sure if there really is a price you can put on that kind of peace of mind. These guys are good. If you have a job you need done, then make the appointment here and now. I did and will do so again."

We at JLC Electric, LLC, focus on quality over quantity. We use our years of experience and expertise to complete your project with perfection. Customer service and honesty are the most important aspects of our business and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please call us today for an estimate. We look forward to working with you.
"JLC contacted me immediately and came out quickly to scope out the job and provide an estimate. Jim seems like an experienced and knowledgeable electrician. I hired him to do the work but was not happy with the workmanship in the end. Jim and his helper made an unnecessary hole in my drywall while installing a new receptacle, then did a bad job patching it. I ended up having to fix it myself. Also they did not recess a quad receptacle in my workspace as I had requested. Had to have them return to fix that too, as well as replace an oversized exterior GFI outlet they installed on the siding. I accept responsibility for that one, as I feel we did not have clear communication about my expectations. They were responsive when I called to complain about the work, and came out to fix everything quickly. I know Jim was not happy, but he remained professional and did what I asked. At the 2nd visit, I paid the low end of the estimate and told them to bill me for the rest, but they never did."

Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
