"Incredible experience. Matt and Miseal came to my 1960s era condo in rural CT to do an assessment of what I wanted. Matt (a veritable genius) recommended in order to save time (labor $) and to help bring my aging condo into the 20th century, to install the new Lutron Caseta system. Turns out, it’s Alexa, Google, and Apple compatible, in addition to just being wireless. Over the decades, Ive wired outlets, switches, ceiling fans, and fixtures of all types many, many times. This system is light years ahead of “old school”. With a simple Echo Dot or Echo Show and the affordably priced Caseta bridge, even my adult son could easily control my lighting and ceiling fans from his house or anywhere in the world. Incredulous! This system actually becomes part of your environment, so to speak. Anyhow, I got the quote a day or so later from Equipment Unlimited and was “dead nuts” right where I thought it would be and thought was reasonable. 1 week later, everything is done, working perfectly, not a single glitch. Again… incredulous. Matt and Miseal were neat and tidy, which was great because their working with me there did not ignite my OCD. Cleaned and used a tarp as they went from one area to another. If you’re looking to electrically update your home, consider yourself freaking lucky if you get Matt and Miseal. Personable, clean, on time, reasonable and yes, even a sense of humor; a rarity among electricians. EXCELLENT JOB, Matt and Miseal from Equipment Unlimited. You made this old swamp yankee a very happy guy."

"Installed the bathroom fan/light which wasn’t super easy, they had to crawl through insulation in the attic. Also changed out the broken switch on the outlet while they were there which was nice. Not terribly pricey"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

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.
