"During the walkthrough John was easy to chat with on what we were looking for in this project. We were looking to get some ethernet drops installed so that a new hardwired ethernet and wireless network could be installed by North Shore IT ([*** Link removed ***] Once we agreed to the project, Bill and Nico were easy to work with and were very expedient. They completed the job over a day and a half and did a great job at minimizing the impact to the walls and floors. I would definitely recommend JP McCurdy electrical services to others and would use them again!"

"Scott did an excellent job for us. We needed an EV charger installed and a few other things done. He came by, sized up the job and gave us an estimate. In a few days he showed up ready work. He installed the EV charger, re[laced 4 thrmostats, and fixed a doorbell. All went well. His price was reasonable. He worked quickly and efficiently and got everytjing right the first time. I highly recommenr Moses Electric and would glady hire Scott for future electrical jobs."

"Michael replaced all the dimmers throughout my home and workspace… and he replaced a kitchen fan with lights for me… and fixed an antique lamp that had great sentimental value for me. He was on time and priced each job fairly. I am grateful for his work every time I dim a light and run the fan to cool my home during the warm er months of the year. I am planning on having Michael replace my outdoor walkway lights this spring."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Natural gas generators are designed to run for extended periods of time, such as power outages during a natural disaster. Since there’s no limit to the supply of natural gas, they don’t need to stop for refills. However, generators do need maintenance, including pauses to check and add oil. Constantly running them will also cause a lot more wear and tear, leading to a shorter lifespan.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.
