"Everything about Able Electrical Services service was superb! I was in a jam, and Able Electrical Services came to the rescue. Both of the mechanics that assisted were excellent. Russell Ridgway was the primary mechanic and he was amazing! His work is superior and he exceeded my expectations every step of the way. For example, I needed electrical outlets to connect install a wet bar. He measured the wet bar and installed the outlets exactly where they were needed and ensured sufficient power was added to accommodate a kegerator and mini-frigs. I highly recommend Able Electrical Services and hope I never need to use any other electrician."

"The process from beginning to end was highly professional, technically very competent and complete, and the installation was impressive (Team of about nine people, all worked efficiently and simultaneously outside and inside my house. The job was done in a little over half a day. Very happy with my decision to hire GAC to spec, supply, and install the system."

"We recently bought a new home and needed some electrical work done. We contacted RaLo rather late one evening when we had issues with installing our new programmable thermostat, surprisingly someone answered the phone and said they could get someone out the next morning. Mike showed up on time and after discussing the issue with my husband, he went right to work and had us up and running in no time.
Our new home has an unfinished basement and while we plan on finishing it we know it might take some time to fit in the budget, in the meantime we decided one outlet was not enough and decided to get some more installed. Based on his previous work, we didn't hesitate to call RaLo and schedule the work.
Mike showed up right on time and after expaining what we wanted done in our unfinished basement, we discussed and he explained that most of the work we requested should wait until we finish the basement otherwise it would just be a waste of money because it would need to be redone once all the walls went up. We agreed on a temporary fix that we were very pleased with and he went right to work.
Mike is very personable and professional which my husband and I really appreciate. We also like to support local businesses and are very glad to have found a great electrician we can rely on to get the job done. We are extremely pleased with RaLo's customer service, quality of work and price.
We plan on using RaLo for several other projects in the very near future.

"The electrician did a quality job by relocating the light fixture; however, the actual charge was $195 or 65% more than the estimated price of $300. Owner refused to pay the extra $195 and the realtor had to pay it. Electrician also didn't replace two regular recessed light bulbs and the realtor would have to buy the light bulbs from Home Depot and installed himself."

"The electrical team was professional, knowledgeable, prompt, personable and did an overall wonderful job. They are clearly expert electricians. They cleaned up after they finished the project. I would recommend them highly to my family and friends. As an added plus, they priced their work reasonably."

"I contacted Kolb---they came out after hours during the storm and fixed the generator, giving us great peace of mind. Last year, I used their website to get a quote on generator maintenance. I never heard from them. This was disappointing. Both the responsiveness and punctuality ratings would have been "A" had it not been for the latter experience."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
