"First II had an EV charger installed. Nicholas was the first to be completely transparent about what it would take to do the installation properly, and on top prepare our stove outlet to induction â both major consumers of electrical power. As a followup, since our electrical panel was a complete mess, I had him install a new panel neat and properly with modern breakers. I would definitely hire him for any other electrical jobs I may have in the future. Highly recommended."

"I bought my unit from NETR in 2018. It worked fine until we discovered it wasn't blowing any cold air. I made the big mistake of hiring someone a family friend recommended and they diagnosed it incorrectly and then basically disappeared on me. Anyway, it took a few weeks but they repaired it today and I was impressed with their courtesy and getting the job done very quickly and successfully. I felt like I was being dealt with honestly. Thanks, Jared and Jack. I should mention I paid about $300 for the refrigerant today. I don't know what the final cost will be but probably a bit over $1000."

"I am a landlord and was in desperate need to have a few outlets within a rental unit serviced as they were RED flagged by city of Boston ISD for non-grounding. I called a few local electricians and none could fit me into their schedule. I remembered the Homeadvisor adds and went online searched for the services I needed and filled out form. And within 15 minutes Ray from Daly Electric, Inc. gave me a call, he identified himself and asked me what services I needed. I explained the situation and Ray gave a call back with a quote and an appointment for Monday morning within 20 minutes. Keep in mind that we first made contact on Friday morning. Ray was really convenient as I could not be on site. I left the keys to the unit and he called me when he got to the property. Ray, called me once again on inspection to confirm the work as well as alert me about polarity issues with other outlets in the unit. Ray gave me a competitive price and service I am happy with. My perception of Ray and Daly Electric, Inc. from this one instance is that they are clear in their communication and follow through which made feel I was making the right choice in hiring his services. I would say I recommend Ray from Daly Electric, Inc. and would consult and use their services again."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

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.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
