"Excellent. Joe and his team of electricians were very professional. They replaced/upgraded my service entry cable to 200 amps and replaced the corroded breaker panel box in the basement as well. They coordinated the shutdown with National Grid and the electrical inspection as well and were really on top of everything throughout the process."

"They were very good. It was a decent amount of work but they were here for about four and half hours fixing some electrical problems that we had cause we had an unusual problem and they discovered a bunch of stuff needed to be replaced. They did a good job. For what they're doing, the quality of work they're doing, yes the price is an A. All A's across the board for them."

"The entire team at OHara was *great.* Kelly was on top of all the office coordination and very easy to communicate with. Mike was very efficient and stayed late to make sure the job was done. They were willing to work with me and were familiar with the newer (and less popular) technology I was asked to be installed. Not only fantastic service all around, but their quote came in significantly less than a competitor. I will *definitely* be calling OHara for any future electric work and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Randy was extremely professional. Arrived on time and completed the job quickly and correctly. Throughout the job and prior to departing he was tidy and clean and left the place cleaner than it was when he arrived. The new bath fans work great and I would definitely hire them for any future electrical work around my home."

"Despite a -12 windchill, Kevin and Jose sent a notice 30 minutes before their arrival and got to work immediately. They were both extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and industrious. The project was extensive but they managed to keep power interruptions to an absolute minimum. Considering that the generator project required work involving gas, electric, and internet, their presence in our small house went almost unnoticed. I would absolutely recommend them. Great work!"

"We had our bathroom remodeled in January. It needed to be gutted down to the studs, so not a small job. 90 year old house with the typical, small bathroom. Parts of the floor were rotted, questionable electric, broken vent fan and needed everything updated. Some contractors didn't want to be bothered with it. Charles took on the job and was able to work through all of the challenges that you run into in an older home. For instance, 2 walls had 2 layers of drywall. 1 layer was holding in the blown in insulation so he recommended leaving it which we did. Rather than rip the whole floor out, which I thought might be needed, he was able to remove the rotted parts, replace them and go over the whole floor with an additional layer. There is no more bounce to the floor, it's much warmer and everything is solid. We went from an oversized bathtub/shower to a walk in shower which I LOVE! So much easier to clean! Due to the small size of the bathroom, I wanted to install a pocket door instead of a standard inswing door. A couple of contractors wouldn't even quote it for us. Charles was able to frame it in and install it and it is fantastic. No more lost space in a small bathroom just because of the door opening. Everytime something odd was encountered, Charles took the time to go over it with us and gave us multiple options for how to address it. He gave us his opinion but the final decision was ours. I greatly appreciated the advice as his experience has taught him the best ways to address some of the common challenges seen with older properties. The entire job from gut to finish took about 2 weeks. The remodeled bathroom is just as awesome as I had hoped it would be. We are extremely happy and would highly recommend Charles. Once a couple of other projects get done, I plan to call him back for another job and I look forward to working with him again. He is very professional, friendly and easy to work with."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Grounding is an essential part of installing an electric fence. Without grounding, the electrical circuit will be incomplete. That means the fence won’t work and will fail at delivering shocks upon impact. Even grounding the fence improperly can cause faulty shocks, if any. To ground the fence, you will need to use ground rods, ideally made from copper or galvanized metal, that are at least 4 feet high, for best results.

Wiring can last anywhere from 50 to 70 years, but all kinds of mishaps can occur that reduce the lifespan of your electrical wiring, including severe weather conditions, pests, and even faulty wiring. Keeping a preventative maintenance scheduling and hiring an electrician for an annual electrical inspection will keep your wiring system around for as long as possible.

If you have a lamp that flickers or doesn’t stay on, it’s a sign that it’s time to rewire it. Additionally, it’s important to rewire antique lamps so they’re safe to continue using without the risk of an electrical fire. If the plug on your lamp is more than 15 years old or you notice poor performance like flickering, you should hire a lamp repair service to rewire it. If you’re upgrading the bulbs in an antique lamp from incandescent to LED or CFL bulbs, rewire it so it’s compatible with the modern bulbs.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.
