At WIRED Electrical Contractors, we’re pursuing excellence: from your initial consultation to our superior warranties and follow-through. Owned and operated by master electrician Paul Crowley, our team of trained and certified master electricians provide MetroWest MA homeowners with quality craftsmanship, upfront pricing, and attentive responsiveness throughout every project phase. Our focus on quality has earned us the Angi Super Service Award for ten years running. We are a full service residential electrical contractor. We specialize in home EV charging installations and are Tesla trained and certified. We are also certified installers with Qmerit, Chargepoint, and ClipperCreek.

"Paul was on time and got to work right away. He was very respectful of my home and put on boot covers as soon as he entered and placed a plastic protecter on the floor beneath where the fan was to be installed. Very neat and clean. While performing the installation, he informed me that the mounting bracket that was used for the original fan was only rated for a light fixture and showed me the difference between the screws used for the current bracket and the proper one. He quoted a price for the proper bracket and I gladly obliged. He also installed a new wall switch that controls both the fan and light kit wirelessly. The final results are perfect. Before he left, I asked him about replacing my noisy bathroom fan with something quiet and with a heater. Since a new line to a circuit breaker would have to be dropped, he checked out my electrical panel. He informed me that my current electrical panel was not up to code and who ever worked on the panel to add new breakers overloaded the panel (22 breakers in a 20 breaker panel). He was not pushy at all in having the panel upgraded to the proper size but did inform me of potential issues I could have in the future and that it is not up to code. I am extremely satisfied with the job Paul did and I plan on having Paul perform the other needed services I require. A+."

"The installation went quickly and easily for us, and the level 2 charger is just where we need it. I am grateful that I can park, get charging, and be in the house with a cup of tea within a few short minutes. It is so convenient, and the car charges quickly. The VMA installers were so helpful in getting me started once the installation was finished. We have had VMA do quite a few household projects for us, and everything about them is excellent, from scheduling, to the actual work, and to billing. Highly recommend!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The typical cost of a home generator is around $5,000, but prices range from $400 up to $13,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factor is the generator size, as larger generators that can support more square footage usually cost more. You can install an emergency backup generator for between $500 and $2,000 or a partial-home generator for between $2,000 and $6,500. Whole-home generators usually total between $5,000 and $13,000, with some models climbing as high as $18,000.

Yes, whole-house generators run constantly for extended periods. Whole-house generators can run for longer periods of time than portable generators, but be careful. First, they may need regular applications of engine oil (as frequently as daily), depending on the engine design. Second, running constantly for several days will increase the wear and tear on the generator and shorten its lifespan.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
