Once your generator is installed, you’ll need reliable technicians available 24/7 and capable of providing quick services. Generator Supercenter of New Hampshire provides experienced technicians for generator installation, repair, and maintenance. Benefits of working with our team: Full-service – Whether you need a new generator, or your current one is malfunctioning, we won’t leave until your generator is up and running as it should be. Convenience – If something goes wrong with your generator, you don’t have to worry about going out to buy a new one or to replace parts.

"I want to thank the staff at the Stratham NH location. As a new customer, we got off to a bad start with a scheduling misunderstanding. After my earlier review, I want to acknowledge that they reached out to me to turn a negative experience into a positive one. It's nice to know that this company cares about their customers. I am very happy with the service they performed on my recent Generac generator. The customer service department and the technician were very professional and courteous. I would recommend this company for your generator needs."

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.

An electrician will charge between $100 to $150 to install a new light switch. Whether you need to cut into the wall and repair drywall will determine your final project cost, as you can expect to pay $50 to $75 per square foot to repair drywall.

That depends on your setup. If a circuit breaker already has GFCI protection, then everything connected to that specific circuit is being monitored. You don’t need additional GFCI outlets on that breaker.

However, if the breaker is not GFCI, then you should have GFCI receptacles for at-risk outlets nearby water sources, because they are not receiving protection. Breakers in a breaker box can vary between GFCI and non-GFCI. Look for GFCI labels on the breaker or try to find the breaker model number to look it up if you aren’t sure.

No, wiring does not need to be redone to get a dimmer switch, as they work with single-pole and three-way switches. Just ensure you choose a dimmer that is compatible with your wiring, fixture, and lightbulbs. Most homes built after 1985 have neutral wiring and work with almost all dimmers. If your home was built before 1985 and you don’t have an updated electrical system, you may have to use a non-neutral wiring dimmer.

If it’s called a USB outlet without any further designation, it likely refers to a USB-A port. These are the original USB connections and are commonly integrated within power outlets. In recent years, USB-A cables have slowly been usurped by faster and more reliable USB-C cables. USB-C connectors are small and ultra-thin with a reversible design, while USB-A connectors are slightly larger and bulkier.
