"They showed up on time, did an excellent job, and cleaned up after themselves. We are having a Washer/Dryer installed on our 2nd floor to be near the bedrooms. It is a 150-year-old house with plenty of issues. Jeremy and his helper ran the wire up through a closet, over a bathroom ceiling, and mounted the plug in the back of a closet. No damage and the plug looks like it has been there forever."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I would highly recommend Santella for residential electrical work. I requested quotes from multiple companies for a wide range of work, including bringing existing wiring to code, repairing issues, installing new outlets, junction boxes and external lighting and video. They were excellent with communication and follow-up, transparent in pricing and risks/assumptions, were available more quickly than others, and offered competitive pricing. On the job they were fast and efficient, professional, didn’t try to up sell, did high quality work, and cleaned up. I will be using them again for all future work."

"Ken and his son did great work --- installed 11 recessed lighting fixtures, added switches, installed a bathroom fan, fixed an interrupted circuit, and replaced a weather head on the front of the house. They worked fast and clean, and took the time to answer any and all questions. Would definitely hire Ken again."

"Polite and very clean. He takes pride in the job produced, not always the case and fair priced. We had 2 fans installed - the 1 room was near where I work from home. He was thoughtful to close the door of that room! We are scheduling more work next week"

"William Burden is the third generation owner of WBLightningRods and his company has been in business since 1950. He is very courteous, professional, was on time, and has a very good crew. William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

"Logan was very professional. He called immediately to set up an appointment to come to the house. He arrived on time and fixed all of our issue. He maintained a super clean workspace and left no mess. His price was very reasonable. I highly recommend LM Electric and certainly intend on using him again in the future."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
