I like to think of my self as the best problem solver around. I'm sure there's a million ways to get the job done. But I only want to make sure its done right, The first time. I've been doing maintainece repairs for about 2 and half years now. I started off on my own path a couple of weeks ago and I've been off to what seems like a great start. I would be more than willing to see what kinda project you have to throw at this novice repair man.

"Tanner hung 21 framed art pieces in our office. He is a perfectionist. We are so happy with the end result. Great communication throughout the process. Highly motivated to provide quality service."

Woodward Electrical Services is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"After my experience with Woodward Electrical Services, I would not recommend their services. My husband and I hired Woodward Electrical Services to fix the whole house fan in our home. An electrician came to evaluate the fan and replaced the switch, however, the repair did not work. We called and the electrician came to the house again, but was unable to fix the problem - although they did not charge us for the second visit. He stated that he needed to order a part. After a week without hearing from the company, we tried to contact them. We called at least ten times without a response. The call goes to an answering service in another state. The answering service stated to me that they then send a text message to the business owner with the information from the customer call. Eventually, I went to the address listed for Woodward Electrical Services. The address is a residential home - the person who answered the door stated that the owner of the business did live at this address and provided me with the owner's cell phone number. I left two messages for the owner, however, I did not hear back. Frustrated with the lack of response from Woodward Electric, I contacted the Better Business Bureau to file a formal complaint. The BBB was unable to get a hold of Woodward Electrical Services as well. It has been three months since we originally contacted Woodward Electrical Services, and unfortunately, we are out $150 and our house fan is still broken."

"Excellent customer service. Excellent communication skills. Chris was very knowledgeable about the internet issue that were having in our home. Chris also understood that I am very sensitive to WIFI in our house and made sure that the new modem that was installed would not send out a WIFI signal. He took the time to listen to my concerns. I plan to hire Cups Networking to fix the work that I had done last year by a different electrician who helped me hardwire the house for internet. The other electrician did not do it correctly. We are also going to add hardwired internet access points to other areas of the house. If you are concerned about WIFI in your home, then hire Cups PC and Networking. Deal with a company who understand how the networking systems work. I am very happy that I hired him from Home Advisor."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

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.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
