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!"

Every box that needs checked to leave me satisfied about the service was checked plus those extra boxes that go beyond just satisfaction that give that confidence and peace of mind I need, everyone needs... to feel we've 'made the right decision in who we hire. Thanks Sparky's & Hector! No stone was left unturned and no box was left unchecked! ;)"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.
