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."

Ready to cut the cord, and rabbit ears aren?t cutting it? Cables hanging all over your house, and you want them to disappear? WiFi just doesn?t reach upstairs? You?ve come to the right place! My services include: TV and FM antenna installation and repair, including in attics; old school cable fishing and concealment; installation and repair of coaxial, Ethernet, telephone, speaker, and other low voltage wiring, including repurposing existing cabling; TV wall mounting and cable concealment, especially difficult or unusual locations; limited satellite dish installation, repair, and removal, including Free-To-Air (FTA) dishes. (Sorry, no large C-band dishes, no warranty work on subscription service equipment.) I'm not an equipment dealer, so I won't be trying to sell you anything. I can provide a few items, as a convenience (e.g., antennas, bulk cable), but I?m ready to work with, or advise you on the purchase of your own equipment (e.g., routers, security cameras).

"Ken is a terrific worker and knowledgeable problem solver who took on my old house and my cramped crawl space without even a hint of hesitation or complaint. He worked efficiently and without a pause for more than 10 hours to get a job done in record time----it was much more involved than we thought, and he persisted and got it done, and done right. Thank you Ken! He's a real rarity amongst workmen, absolutely thorough, trustworthy and good natured in the face of all difficulties! A real gem, I'm so glad I hired him!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
