"Joe came out to my home soon after I purchased the deal to review the electrical work I wanted to have done. He estimated how much he could complete for the 4 hours and we scheduled him to come back in a couple of weeks to do the work. Joe showed up on time as planned and did the work which included adding a wall sconce in my stairwell and installing 5 timers for outdoor lights and bathroom fans. He was also going to be installing a fan, but that couldn't be done because I didn't have the right fan box in the room - no fault of Joe's. Overall, I was very happy with the work. Joe and one other guy finished the work in just over 2 hours, cleaned up any mess they made, and were on their way. I have some additional work that I may do in the near future, and I'll definitely give Joe a call to do the job."

"Installing ceiling fixtures instead of just having switched outlets: Dwain was very efficient and extremely neat. Their pricing was reasonable and while they weren't the lowest quote on the project, they seemed to have the best insight into what it would entail and how to make it look best. They definitely weren't the highest quote either (some were over twice their cost!)"

"We hired PW DiMasi to install receded lighting in an upstairs office and could not be happier with the results. Peter, the owner, was prompt in scheduling a time to provide a project estimate and quoted us a fair price. He also showed up on the day of the project to introduce the two electricians that would be doing the work. The team was courteous, professional, and did a great job installing the lights. They also were careful to cover the room with tarps to minimize dust and cleaned up the workspace afterwards. If we have a future need for an electrician, PW DiMasi will be our first call."

"Had Ryan come out for a free quote after finding him on Angi to install an electric car charger. He showed up the next day, which was impressive! I got several quotes, and Ryan's was $200 cheaper than the others. The first charger we tried didn’t work, but Ryan went above and beyond troubleshooting the issue. We discovered it was a problem with the charger itself, not his installation. After ordering a new brand, Ryan came back and installed it, and it worked perfectly. Very reliable and professional service. Highly recommend."

"John and crew upgraded the house to 200amps, bringing everything to code and cleaning up prior panel on top of installing new panel. Hookup of EV charger in garage was exactly to my request. They showed their experience with EV by suggesting and helping us attain rebates to help with costs. We are very satisfied with our EV charger installation."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

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.

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.
