"We already had a ceiling fan we recently purchased. We called Berryman and he told us he could be out the next week but would call again to firm up the date. He called the next week, as promised, and said he would be out the next day. He came out with a helper and within a little more than an hour they had the fan out of the box, assembled, a hole in the ceiling with braces installed in the attic, wires run down the wall to the outlet and a new wall switch installed for the fan/light. They cleaned up after themselves ad even vacuumed. Very reasonably priced too. We would definitely use his services again as needed and would recommend."

"This was the best electrical service company we could have chosen. They were professional, they were friendly. They gave us the details and facts and did not try to sell us anything we did not need, but instead gave us options and explained things very clearly. ALB scheduled us immediately, they arrived the next morning with plenty of crew and had the issue fixed within 2hours. I have never been more impressed with how professional and punctual they were. When the job was done they made sure to come back out wait for the inspector. They helped us get in touch with the power company and had our power back on the SAME day. I will suggest and recommend ALB for all our electrical work in our home. They were affordable and reasonable. Thank you ALB."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an electrical fire

Wiring or installing a light the wrong way can lead to potentially dangerous scenarios, including shock and even electrical fires. If you’re the least bit uncertain whether you’ve wired something correctly, the best and safest approach is to call in a professional electrician to handle the installation for you.

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.
