"Jeffrey Masi is a total gentleman and a Pro of the highest quality. He has been punctual, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. When I first called him he responded immediately and came to inspect the site. He offered me his estimation and I accepted. He found time on a weekend to do the project because I was not available on weekdays. He also called Ashland Town Hall for inspection and paid the fees. Everything went as smoothly as a whistle. I will strongly recommend him for any electrical project and I am sure you will never go to another electrician. In this context, I should mention another electrician, named Matt from LITelectric whom I contacted along with Jeffrey. I am going to cite a passage "as is" of his texting to me. He wrote, "Honestly, my impression of you is that you are a jack *** hence why I never showed up you seem to think you know everything about a tesla charger when you don't know jack shit we will not be installing anything for you sir take your cheap ass somewhere else." This was when I asked him why he did not turn up after he confirmed appointments twice. Later, I read comments about him and found he was exactly what I thought he would be from his foul-mouthed error-prone texting. If and when it is needed, I will present screenshots of his texting. Please stay away from this person, if you do not want to repent later."

"Dave, was professional and reliable. He did the job very well and returned when we had questions and resolved them. We upgraded our service from 100 to 200 amp electrical service. We also installed a charging port for our new electric car. We are very satisfied with the new service and charge station. I would highly recommend him to others."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.
