"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. I would highly recommend this company for low-voltage wiring projects."

"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.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.

You can install a three-prong outlet without connecting any ground and plug in three-prong electronics into that outlet. The devices will function normally, but you won’t get any of the protection that grounding provides, so there’s an increased risk of serious problems if something goes wrong.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

You can test an electric fence with a multimeter, but you’ll need to set the multimeter to the correct voltage measurement—such as alternative current (AC) or direct current (DC) and range—depending on your fence. You can find the voltage type and range in the fence’s user manual.

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.
