"On time, professional and knowledgable. Could have sold me a top of the line battery but explained to me why a middle of the line for $100 less would be just as good. Keegan will be doing all my generator maintenance from now on. I highly recommend Keegan and Power Cross."

"Great install/product (so far—brand new unit): However, before Blizzard Jan 2025 heard Optimize electrical panel door rattling/“clanking” when I was outside wrapping pipes before blizzard—asked Optimize to check panel door to ensure it’s flush/secure so snow & ice cannot penetrate their electrical box since NEW. Optimize came to check & said there is nothing they can do with loose/rattling panel door, “not to worry”, that no moisture can get to wiring….?? Door is so loose, you barely press the door & it sinks in/a LOT of play. Tech said they have to “allow some air to get inside box”?? Optimize CHARGED me $150.00 to check loose electrical panel door & did not tighten door.. (DEMCO’s generator panel door, installed by Optimize’s electrical panel, is tight/no banging….??). There would be no banging if Optimize panel door was not loose! Once Generator is installed, you have to pay $150.00 for Optimize to come out to check anything you are concerned about with new Unit, post install."

"I hired Prime Time Construction to raise the foundation of a 16’ x 20’ prefabricated back yard shed and fill in back yard area with river sand. I first contacted owner Brandon in Oct 2018. Because of schedules government shutdown, and weather it was tough finally getting together to look at my job. I kept calling because of good Home Advisor reviews. Despite a lot of rain and mud Victor and Jose raised the shed and lowered it onto 16” x 16” footer slabs upon which sat standard cinder blocks and termite guards. I had serious low spots in the yard that required 30 cu yd of sand they distributed by wheelbarrow. The whole job took 4 days over most of a week interrupted by rain. They needed to pump out the water that kept accumulating. They reconnected the electricity, adapted and re-fastened the hurricane anchors and installed a plastic lattice skirt to keep animals from underneath. It was a good job under trying circumstances. We bought or made them lunch and I tipped upon completion. Good work requires good treatment. I am quite happy with the outcome."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

To avoid drilling into wire, you will need to trace your home's wiring using a stud finder, wire detector, circuit tracer, or voltage finder. Since locating wires in your home can be difficult for some homeowners, hire a professional electrician with the experience and knowledge needed to safely handle electrical systems before drilling into any walls in your home.

While circuit breakers are designed to be reset after tripping, there isn't a strict countdown to when they will fail. The primary danger lies in a breaker tripping multiple times in a short period without allowing the components to cool down. Theoretically, a standard breaker might handle around 50 trips caused by simple overloading. However, this number can be much lower in practice. For instance, a high-current fault could damage a breaker to the point that it needs replacement after only two resets. Repeatedly resetting a breaker that trips frequently exacerbates the underlying problem by causing the electrical components, wires, and the breaker itself to overheat. This can lead to permanent damage, cause the breaker to trip unnecessarily in the future, and increase the risk of an electrical fire. If a breaker trips every few minutes, you should leave it in the 'off' position and call a qualified electrician for an inspection.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are a safe and effective way to protect children from electrical hazards. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the outlet slots when not in use, preventing a child from inserting foreign objects. While they are the safest option available, it's important to note that few things can be considered truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug, so constant supervision around any electrical device is recommended. Tamper-resistant outlets are a much safer solution than childproofing covers, which can be removed by children and may pose a choking hazard.
