"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

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

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.
