At Generator Supercenter, we are committed to securing your home and peace of mind with back up power solutions. When bad weather hits or an electrical circuit malfunctions, a power outage is likely. When that happens, you can recover quickly if you own a reliable home backup generator. 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. We will come to your home or business and take care of it for you. Free on-site estimate – When you call us, you’re not committed to a service—our estimates are free, so you can meet with a member of our team to learn about your options with no strings attached! Unfortunately we do not do anything with portable generators or any brands not manufactured by Generac. We are also not a parts distributor.

"Matt Sanford and the team at Generator Supercenter were professional, knowledgeable and efficient when surveying my property. They spent quality time educating me on their generator product line and monitoring services. If you're looking for a superior product, company, and team to support you throughout our long New England winters, look no further!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

You can distinguish the amplitude and voltage of most outlets by looking at the shape and positioning of the holes. Other features like buttons, switches, and USB ports help identify electric outlets, too. Use labeled images, like the ones we’ve included above, to cross-reference with your outlets.

Common signs of faulty electrical wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, burning smells near an outlet, buzzing or humming sounds, electrical shocks or tingles when handling outlets of appliances, and hot or discolored outlet switches. If you notice one or more of these signs, hire a licensed electrician for an average cost of $50 to $100 per hour to diagnose and make necessary repairs.

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.

In the United States, home outlets support a standard 15 amps, but you can upgrade per outlet if necessary. Most single-family residential homes have a maximum overall amp rating, usually 100 to 200 amps. Very old houses may have less than 100 amps, but that’s rare. Large homes often come with amp services above 200 amps to support modern lifestyles.
