"I recently had an electrical inspection done by TE Certified Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment the technician arrived, the experience was professional, thorough, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything they found in a way that was easy to understand, and I felt confident I was in good hands. What stood out most was their attention to detail—they didn’t just check the basics, they inspected the entire system to ensure my home was safe and up to code. No high-pressure sales, just honest advice and helpful recommendations. I’ll absolutely be using TE Certified again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier electrical service."

"I asked Mr Sullivan personally do the work needed. He agreed, but apprentice did the work.My experience thus far has been less than expected, and more importantly shocking with threats, bullying, including threats to put a lien on my home, insults, and the wrong assessment, invoiced for work not done, and work done, but not needed. Mr Sullivan came with an assistant who completed most of the work. Holes were left in my ceiling and wall and in addition garbage was left on the floor. He said he had to go home for lunch and would return. One Friday he called me and said he needed to pay his employee and to send him $850 with no invoice and just a payment link. The electrical box connections were faulty and could have caused an electrical fire. Hired a second professional company to fix the problem and paid over $1000 for the rewiring correctly.nSent several letters to Sullivan Electric to find a solution. Sent formal complaint to Better Business Bureau."

We are extremely passionate about the work that we do. With over 30 years of experience electrical, you can depend on us to provide a high quality service. We understand that the future of our business depends upon our reputation and that is why customer service is by far our highest priority. If you are looking for a professional you can trust, please call today to schedule a no-obligation estimate!

"Reginald was quick to provide a very reasonable quote, half the cost of another electrician, and his crew was available to next day - the soonest that I wanted. His sons showed up on time, did the work according to what I needed and wanted, and cleaned up well after they finished - on time. They moved a ceiling light box, required and added another one, added lights + switch above a built in bookcase, added an entryway light box + repurposed an unused switch, and added a switch for the living room light so I can turn it on when I come down stairs. I’ll be getting more electrical work done in other parts of the house, and I will absolutely contract with them for the work. Highly recommend!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

When installed and used correctly, generators are safe to use. The most critical generator safety tips to keep in mind are:

  • Never use a portable generator inside an enclosed space, as the carbon monoxide exhaust it creates is lethal.

  • Never attempt to connect your generator to your home’s electrical panel independently; hire a professional for this dangerous job.

  • Never overload your generator by connecting more appliances than for which it’s rated; you can damage your generator and appliances or even cause a fire.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

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.

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.
