"CSA installed a custom home theater, a ELK security & automation system, a driveway gate system with intercom, Russound whole house audio/intercom system in 12 different rooms, Lutron Radio RA lighting control system and 12 cameras on exterior of our house. I m extremely impressed with CSA from our first walk through, the design build they put together, the options they proposed to my wife and myself and how Chad kept it as simple as possible when presenting what our system was capable of doing. It s overwhelming but he did a fantastic job to try and keep it in Lameon terms. From the pre-wire to day of final completion CSA went above and beyond our expectations. You can truly tell they love what they do and have a passion for it. When our house was completely finished CSA was the last contractor to finish do to everything in our house is automated and controlled through our wall touchscreens, laptops and mobile devices. We can open our entry or exit driveway gates from our house phone, touchscreens or any mobile device that CSA installed a custom built app on. While we re home or anywhere in the world as long as we have 4g or WiFi. All of our exterior lights are set up to be at our desired level from dusk to dawn and when anyone walks past any camera at night the light level of the closet light brightens for a few minutes and after camera no longer detects motion level goes back down. It s just amazing what this system can do. We have our main front door locks, side entry garage door lock and all 4 of our garage doors all controlled by this system and if a door is opened and we re not within 1000 yards of our home we re notified. We couldn t be more pleased with the job CSA did and most of all the time they took to train us on how to use and control every aspect of our whole smart home. Thank you again CSA. We highly recommend anyone in the need of security, audio & video and home automation needs to contact CSA. We had 3 other A/v automation contractors do drawings and pricing proposals and what stood out the most with CSA is the options we were given, the time they spent with us on making sure we were aware of what they were capable of doing and providing us with 3 separate pricing options from platinum to silver. They were the only contractor that did that. This was our final home we will build and CSA knew how special this dream home meant to us so thank you again CSA for going above and beyond from start to finish."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

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.
