"I did not use the services, because the problem turned out to be with the electric company instead of the generator. Keegan walked me through several steps over the phone to try and avoid an unnecessary service call. I will be sure to call the company when I do need generator service in the future."

"Joey did an excellent job. He asked questions pertinent to the issue, then evaluated the unit. He dismissed the trouble and made the necessary repair. He then asked if I would like further evaluation, and I accepted that. He advised that although the unit was working, it had some weak issues that could cause trouble, but considering the urgency of the immediate repair and the age of unit and plan for sale, we choose not to do additional repairs. It does make us aware of what else to watch for. Replaced faulty capacitor and checked lithe components of system."

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Some portable cooktops are compatible with standard 120-volt outlets, but most induction (and electric) ranges and stoves need a dedicated 220- or 240-volt circuit and 40 to 50 amps to work. If you are replacing an old electric range with an induction one, you likely already have the proper outlet, but it’s worth checking with a local appliance installation company.

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.

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years.
