"I'm selling my house and needed a quick turn-around to get some electrical work done as required by the buyers' lender. It's only been a couple days since I posted my project on Angi and the work is already done. Safety Home Services contacted me right away to get my project on their schedule. Kevin arrived as scheduled and was very quick and thorough with the GFCI replacements and other items on my list. As a bonus, he identified and clearly labeled all the switches in my breaker box.

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We had Don Geyman, owner of DG Communications come to our home to give us an estimate for installing some security cameras around our house. I immediately disliked Mr. Geyman. When telling him that he could absolutely not mess with one of the cords attached to my computer, he started being very condescending and talking down to me, as if I couldnâ  t possibly understand what he was saying. I told him I, in fact, do understand what heâ  s saying but I am saying as the customer that he cannot touch the one specific cord because it doesnâ  t belong to me. Despite this, we paid Mr. Geyman $1955.10 to install these cameras because he demanded payment by check or cash up front. He didnâ  t take cards and would not schedule an installation date unless it was paid up front. Mr. Geyman did not have us sign a contract and did not inform us of any cancellation policies or any kind of fees for an estimate. This is important. A full week before the installation was to occur, we decided to cancel and have someone else do the installation. When I emailed him to cancel, all he said was no and wanted to know if we wanted to reschedule. I emailed back and said no, we are having someone else do it so I will be expecting a full refund. It took Mr. Geyman hours to respond. Eventually he said he would refund us but was going to charge a cancellation fee. Again we did not sign a contract and the paperwork he sent mentioned nothing about a cancellation fee. Mr. Geyman took 10% which was $195.55 for doing absolutely nothing. The refund invoice said it was for his time and administration fee. Had we not paid him up front like he demanded, the estimate would have been free. At minimum this is unethical. There was no signed contract and nothing in the invoice about any fees. Mr. Geyman is not someone you want to work with and best of luck if you want to cancel and get a refund."

We Install and/or Service: ► CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6A Network Cabling ► Single-Mode/Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Network Cabling ► Video Surveillance Systems ► Network Video Surveillance (NVR) ► Digital Video Surveillance (DVR) (Coax cabling) ► Legacy CCTV systems ► Circuit Extensions ► Network Equipment Rack & Stack ► Smart-Hands for Hardware ► Wireless Networks (WiFi) ► Point to Point Wireless Networking ► Firewalls - Smart-Hands ► Ethernet Switches ► Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switches ► Point of Sale (POS) - Smart-Hands ► Digital Signage - Smart-Hands ► Overhead Paging ► LAN Remediation ► Equipment Installs for Cloud/Hosted telephone systems ► Avaya IP Office (premise-based telephone systems) ► Avaya Legacy Equipment (premise-based telephone systems) ► AT&T/Lucent Technologies Legacy Equipment (premise-based telephone systems) ► Analog Telephone Lines ► ISDN PRI (T-1) Digital Telephone Lines ► Dedicated High-Speed Internet Access

"I needed to swap my security camera network out for a new one, and had some specific requirements that Iâ  d compiled from several years of experience with using security cameras. Efficient Communication Solutions responded quickly to my request for information on the services they provide. Don, one of the co-owners, visited and listened carefully to my wish-list for a new system. We went through many options and configurations and found one that met my needs for a reasonable price for the equipment and installation. The two-person crew who did the actual installation were great. James and Jacob came prepared, did top notch work with installing all the cabling and cameras, all while being a delight to work with. There were no corners cut, no sloppy work, they paid careful attention to details, and the final result is a neat, professional installation. The NVR configuring was completed and tested, and they explained the settings and usage clearly. The scheduling of the installation was less than 2 weeks out after signing a contract and the work was done in just over 3 days. I want to also mention that James and Jacob were very careful when around my cats, not letting them outside, and not scaring or disturbing them. Their efforts were greatly appreciated. On a scale of 1 to 10, the work ECS did on this system was a solid 10. There is a catio/sunroom project in the works, and after itâ  s completed, I will be using ECS to install additional cameras around the new structure - no question about who I will call to do the work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

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.

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
