"Mr Otis James of O &M Electric was very professional and easy to talk to. We are senior citizens. It was refreshing to have someone who was patient and respectful to seniors. My husband is a disabled veteran and he was so glad that Mr James was here to help us. We recommend his company highly!!"

"We just recently had a job completed by Contractor â  Electrician, Dan Alexander, for the replacement of a number of electrical fixtures and installation of a surge protector. We found Dan to be a knowledgeable, competent and professional electrician; his work was exceptional in all aspects. The new LED light fixtures were all properly aligned, wired and switched, and the surge protector retrofitted to the breaker box. All waste and debris were collected and taken with him when the job was finished. Moreover, Dan was polite and respectful and ready to answer any questions we asked of him. He was also reasonable in his pricing. We would, without hesitation, recommend him to our friends and neighbors. He has become our go-to electrician."

Electrical 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.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

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.

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.

Typically, when a 3-way switch only works when one switch is on, this is one of the most telltale indicators that the switch has gone bad (although this could also be the result of faulty or loose wiring). To diagnose the issue, toggle each switch until the light comes on. Once it’s on, toggle each switch separately again; the switch that doesn’t turn the light off is the bad switch.
