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 portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

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. 

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.
