"It was pricey. They did offer to inspect the entire homes electrical system at no additional cost but I would rather have paid less for what I wanted done. That said, the technician was great. Knowledgeable, thorough and even arrived early."

"Dewayne was very professional, courteous and helpful in installing our new Nest thermostat. Had a bit of a glitch later on but he responded very quickly and corrected the issue promptly. Would certainly recommend him for household electrical work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The safest way to pull an electrical cord from the wall outlet is by gently but firmly grabbing the plug and pulling it out. Pulling on the cord instead of the plug can cause damage to the cord, leading to an increased risk of electrical problems like fire or electric shock. If you notice damaged wiring on an appliance or device, it’s best to stop using it immediately.

Hiring a professional for attic fan installation or replacement is highly recommended to ensure safety, proper ventilation, and effectiveness without damaging your roof. The type of professional needed can vary based on the fan type and project specifics.

  • HVAC Technicians: They understand airflow and ventilation principles, making them well-suited for the job.

  • Roofers: Experienced roofers are ideal for roof-mounted fans, as they can ensure a watertight installation.

  • Electricians: A licensed electrician is essential if new wiring is needed, or for replacing solar or electric attic fans to safely handle the electrical connections.

  • Carpenters: They may be needed to install gable vent fans or to ensure a new fan fits the existing structure correctly.

  • Handyperson: For a simple replacement of an old fan with no wiring or structural modifications, a handyperson might be an option.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.

Unless you have prior electrical experience, it’s best to hire a professional to install your new thermostat for you. Improper installation can damage wiring, lead to a blown fuse, and more.
