"Anthony and his team do expert electrical work of all kinds. We are a 145 year old non-profit organization with buildings and grounds, and have contracted with Technician Engineers Group (TEG) on two large projects (and several small ones) over the last 15 years. One project rewired a large 125 year old building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and one installed an extensive outdoor lighting system. In these two unusual situations TEG worked closely with us to find innovative solutions to our unique needs. We are very pleased with the results, enjoyed their can-do approach, and highly recommend this company for any electrical challenge. We found TEG reliable, honest, on time, and all the work was completed ahead of schedule."

"Callahan worked me in during a busy week before the 4th even though it was a cold call. I did not know him.. The electrician was exactly on time at 8AM and he wore a mask. He did a perfect job, and went out of his way to make the wire out of site as it was installed across my garage.. Even though it took a little longer than anticipated, he still charged me the quoted price.. I will definitely call him again for all my electrical work."

"I highly recommend CAP Electrical for all of your electrical needs! Not only do they do an outstanding job, but they are extremely friendly, customer service oriented, and honest. The day that Rod (President) came out to give me an estimate, I thought that I had a short in one of my kitchen light fixtures. Rod quickly pointed out that I was not using the right type of bulb in the fixture (non-dimmable bulb on a dimmable light). That display of honesty led to me hiring Rod and his guys for the rest of the work I needed done, and I'm very glad I did. They ended up installing recessed lights in my basement, a receptacle on my front porch, repairing switches in my main breaker panel, and fixed existing receptacles throughout my house. The electricians Rod sent were very personable and courteous. They worked very efficiently, and ensured that my satisfaction was their number one priority. As the electricians worked they informed me that some of the work that they did was not as involved as originally anticipated, which ultimately led to me saving money. Another display of honesty and customer service at its finest. In addition, CAP was very flexible when it came to scheduling a day to come out. If you're looking for a company that prioritizes customer service and is extremely honest then look no further than CAP electrical. They are very good people who work hard and do the right thing! I'm very pleased with the work that they did and I know you will be too."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

Most homeowners won't be able to claim a home generator as a tax write-off. However, a whole-house generator may be tax-deductible in certain situations depending on its purpose. For instance, if it's needed to power essential medical equipment, it may qualify as a medical expense deduction. Also, in some cases, businesses can deduct a generator as a business expense if it supports operations. Always consult a tax professional to determine eligibility based on your specific circumstances and the applicable IRS regulations.
