"The Kilowatt work crew were prompt, courteous, and diligent. Our 1971 ranch needed aluminum wire replaced with copper, and the owner of Kilowatt understood how important this work was to our family's sense of security. They arrived when they said they would and they carefully assessed the wiring throughout the house. We are grateful for their expertise and the quality of their work. We will call on them again for future electrical work in our home."

"I have a lot of experience in electricity-related areas so I am quite demanding and critical. Each time I have called Buckingham, scheduling was prompt and the techs were knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough. They arrived on time and in the most recent case came back quickly to resolve an issue that was not clearly their responsibility. I really like dealing with these pros and will recommend them to my neighbors."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. 

There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.

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.

If only half of your outlet works, there are usually two possible causes: faulty wiring or a half-hot outlet. The first thing you'll want to do is check the circuit breaker panel to ensure that it's not tripped. If your circuit breaker isn't tripped, turn off the electricity and inspect the wiring to see if anything has come loose or corroded. 

If you have a half-hot outlet, it means half of the outlet is controlled by a switch somewhere on the same circuit, which should be nearby. This is an intentional electrical design commonly found in rooms without overhead lights.

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.
