Replacing a light on a pole at a medical office building.
This generator was installed on the side of a house.  The window had to be replaced to allow for the generator to be placed in this location.  The window was made to not open per code.
We installed this 14kW generator to power the whole house.  We used load shed modules to be able to save the customer money by using a smaller generator than would have been needed if we didn't use the load shed modules.

"Even though this was just a small job, I got first-class service. Dave came to my house on a Saturday, the day after I contacted Ralo Electrical. He arrived just when he said he would and had the job done well in no time. Will definitely use their service again for other electrical work I need.

"Kevin Williams was prompt and professional. He accommodated a last minute appointment for me when the electrician I normally use was unavailable. He called ahead to let me know when he would arrive, and even offered to arrive earlier if I wanted. He was knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. He was also very reasonably priced. I am glad I found him and plan to use his services again in the future."

"I contacted the company for an estimate and was provided a verbal estimate over the phone, followed by a written estimate via email. Scheduling was easy. I called on a Thursday and they were able to schedule my install for the following Monday. The electricians arrived on time, and were very friendly and professional upon our initial greeting. They installed a new chandelier and dimmer in my foyer, and cleaned the work area and disposed of the old light fixture. The electricians ensured I was happy with the lighting placement and job performance prior to leaving. I would definitely recommend this company for your electrical needs and I will be using them for future projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A GFCI outlet can be 15A or 20A. The average American home power outlet is 15A.

In the majority of cases, you can replace an outlet with a USB outlet. USB charging receptacles install in the same spot as standard outlets and any electrician worth their salt is more than familiar with the replacement process. Additionally, it’s possible to replace yourself, but only if you have prior experience with your home’s electrical system, as it requires handling of wires.

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. 

The National Fire Protection Association reports that almost half of reported electrical fires are caused by electrical distribution and lighting equipment. The main culprit behind these fires is often frayed, worn, or faulty wiring, particularly in closed-off and concealed areas like attics, where fires can start and burn undetected for long periods.
