"I had a problem with my old landline phone system. First I called Verizon, but their technician could not solve the problem. Then I contacted CH Tel. Charlie called back promptly and sent a technician, Rick, the same day. Rick was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was able to find the problem and install a new line. While he was here he also solved some long-standing problems I had with loose wires and an open phone box. He was also very respectful of my property and did a good job cleaning up after the work.

The installers also were prompt, did an excellent installation, simulated a power outage, and showed my how to switch the whole house over to the generator. "

"Outstanding Service from Technicians Dennis and David, Haas and Sons Electric!!! We hired Haas and Sons Electric at 8:30am on 12/15/25. They responded, scheduled and completed the work before 2PM the same day. Haas and Sons Electric addressed a wiring issue related to the doorbell / security camera. Dennis and David were exceptional! They called while enroute and arrived promptly as scheduled for the appointment. They immediately demonstrated high levels of professionalism and knowledge about our electrical issue: Dennis answered all our questions and patiently walked us through their diagnostic process. He also clearly explained the factors related to the wiring connection between the doorbell wiring by the builder (of the home) and the security camera equipment installation related to the root cause of the issue. The quality of work was superb. David replaced the doorbell system and all its necessary equipment components efficiently and ensured all new wiring was up to code, meticulously cleaning the work areas afterward. We appreciated their honest approach and made recommendations for future maintenance without any sales pressure. We are extremely satisfied with the results and will use Haas and Sons Electric for all future electrical needs.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Energy output depends on turbine size, average wind speed at your site, and system efficiency. A 5 kW turbine in a good wind location can generate 8,000 to 12,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which may cover a large portion of an average home’s needs. Accurate output estimates require a professional wind assessment and a review of your household’s energy usage patterns.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.
