"I had a whole-house generator installed by an electrical contractor.
It was wired incorrectly. I made an appointment with Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY. They diagnosed the issue, ordered the parts, and installed them in a reasonable time. This was not their problem, but they treated it like it was. I am very impressed with their professionalism. Their employee Brian treated our home like it was his. When he had to enter our home, he put covers on his boots so he wouldn't track mud and snow into our home. He gave us an ETA for when he would come to do the work and explained the billing. If I need any electrical work done in the future, it will be done by Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY."
"William and staff responded promptly to my request for service with reasonable pricing. They arrived at the house at the agreed upon time, were respectful of my property, explained the process and completed the work within the specified time frame. They were pleasant, easy to work with and installed a quality lightning rods system. I highly recommend them."

"We are so pleased with the work that KWD Electric did for us. We will always use them after this experience. Ken was so nice, prompt and he squeezed us in on a busy Saturday. He knew exactly how to fix our problem and had the job finished quickly and reasonably. We have light again!"
"A great experience. Met with owner, Mohammed within 1 hour of contact. He looked at job, explain the issues in plain English. Gave me several options to resolve electrical problem. Promised to follow-up with phone call after he got pricing on parts. Called me bright and early very next morning, we agreed on work to be done and pricing, he said he could complete today. Within 1 hour he started repairs and within a few hours, the A/C and entire home was up and running. He checked/confirmed that every electrical appliance had power. His work area was left clean and free of trash. It was a pleasure to have Mohammed in my home, a true professional"
In NY, if you notice intermittent power, a warm electrical panel, or repeated GFCI trips—especially during heavy appliance use—these may signal underlying problems like moisture intrusion or overloaded circuits. Ignoring these early signs can lead to bigger issues, especially with seasonal homes or after severe weather. Promptly addressing minor electrical concerns helps prevent extensive repairs and keeps your home safe year-round.

In Lake Placid, electrical work can impact interconnected systems like electric heating, well pumps, HVAC controls, and security alarms. If your electrical panel or circuits serve multiple systems, changes may disrupt their operation. Before starting, check if your generator, smart home devices, or sump pumps share circuits.
