Welcome to Active Cabling & Communications, LLC. We provide the best electrical work for all our residential and commercial clients. We promise to serve our clients with the highest quality and the most convenient pricing.

"I really enjoyed the work by these Networking/Ethernet folks. A different provider had quoted me an $800-1000 project and said I needed Cat 6 cabling for ethernet, when really my existing Cat 5E was fine. All it took was ~$100 and one hour for parts and labor and I now have ethernet ports in every room that support Gigabit speed. Thanks again! Couldn't be happier with this."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Brewster (owner of Elevation Electric), a licensed electrician, to install a Level 2 electric vehicle charger at my home, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! From start to finish, Joe’s professionalism, expertise, and customer-focused approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Joe was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the installation process, recommend the best charger for my EV, and ensure everything met local codes and safety standards. He arrived on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and materials, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The attention to detail was impeccable—every wire was neatly installed, and the charger was perfectly positioned for convenience. What truly stood out was Joe’s commitment to customer satisfaction. He patiently answered all my questions, offered tips on optimizing my EV charging setup, and even followed up after the installation to ensure everything was working perfectly. The charger (ChargePoint) works flawlessly, delivering fast and reliable charging, and I’m confident in the quality of the work. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Brewster and Elevation Electric to anyone needing electrical services, especially for EV charger installations. Joe’s skill, reliability, and friendly demeanor make his a top choice. Five stars all the way—thank you for making my transition to EV charging so smooth and hassle-free!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.
