About us
Founded in 1997, InterHome Technologies, Inc., the corporate entity under which RC WATT operates, has the Corporate Vision: Provide clients with innovative home technologies that improve their quality of life. RC WATT builds on the Vision with the Mission: Provide clients with "Reliable Convenient Power" using onsite power systems. Today's homeowner seeks our permanently installed, backup offerings, because they want the benefits of having power restored automatically, in seconds, when millions of other people in the U.S., lose power each week. Today's home is more than the family hub - it is for many the work place, and for others - a place to convalesce. Home office and medical equipment need electricity. While electricity was a luxury a hundred years ago; today electricity is essential to our way of life. Centrally produced power, certainly a great value, comes with the limitations of reliability inherit with miles of wires and other infrastructure. Please carefully consider the question: When is a good time to lose power? Utility power outages are unpredictable. Given the affordability of today's onsite power systems, the quality solutions we provide enable our clients to enjoy the best of both models.

I made the decision to go with RC WATT so the next step was to schedule the installation. Being February in Pittsburgh I figured it would be a month or so before the installation date but I was contacted with the next week to schedule the installation....I didn't expect that good of turnaround so I was very pleased.
The installation was scheduled for a Friday and the RC WATT crew (Matt, Barry, and Matt) showed up on time. The whole crew was professional and went to work immediately. Matt went over some initial details with me and double checked what was previously discussed with Bob to make sure we were all on the same page. The installation involved electrical and mechanical work which required the utility power to be disconnected for a time but the time was minimized to about an hour which was great so we were not inconvenienced at all. I was very impressed with the building of the pad where the generator would sit. It involved digging and leveling of the ground and installation of treated timbers to ensure the site would be level and stable. It exceeded my expectations. The area around the pad was cleaned up and looked like nothing was disturbed except now there was a pad.
I was also pleased with them identifying AND fixing a grounding issue that apparently existed in a breaker panel that I was not aware of. After all the equipment was installed Matt walked me thorough the operation of the generator, the transfer panel and the power management features and made sure my questions were answered. Then he did a power outage test to demonstrate what to expect with the timing of the generator kicking on and the priority and timing of the appliances we have included in the power management scheme. It all worked flawlessly.
To close things out I had a few questions about the warranties and available Maintenance Agreement which Matt answered. The areas inside the house where the panels were installed were cleaned up and you couldn't tell any mess was ever made. These guys did an excellent job and it was a pleasure dealing with them. There reputation is well deserved.
We obtained one more bid from another company following RC Watt. The other company's process was much different and much less professional and less high tech. Also, the other company's estimate was much higher to do what looked like the same scope of work but with extra charges for just about every differing aspect from the norm. As a result, we clarified the proposal further with RC Watt to make sure we were understanding their scope and their responsibilities in relation to the contract and we pretty much found that it was right on par with what it should be. Not only would they be doing quality work that was per code, their proposed process seemed much more streamlined and appropriate. We had extensive communication with the company owner in addition to the lead tech during this stage by phone and then by email. Totally professional. As a result, we chose to sign with RC Watt and we were not disappointed.
On the day of installation, they arrived exactly when they said they would. There were at least 4-5 men on the job for most of it and it went very smoothly. We were also lucky that the weather held up that day too. In working on the interior service panel, the lead tech found some issues with our wiring and fixed them to code without adding an extra charge on to the bill. He explained what he found and the problems that could have occurred. He had taken photos with his smart phone to show us.
After the installation was complete, the job site was cleaned up and the lead tech went over procedures with the generator with us. He explained and demonstrated how to access the generator engine and how to access the outdoor transfer switch. He did a demo of a mock power failure and the generator fired up just fine.
Following this, he reviewed the optional service agreement and the choice of plans. Again, he wasn't pushy, but still provided the information that we needed. We decided to sign up for the 2 year agreement plan as it was a better price overall.
Overall, a top notch, professional company. Every step of this process was this way. Even after the job when I thought of some more questions, I'd email my questions to either the company president or the lead tech and they'd get back to us right away with clear and concise responses. I would not hesitate to recommend them highly to anyone considering installing a home generator system.
"Thank you for the opportunity to be of service and for taking time to review us. Our company is growing to meet the needs for onsite power in the region and it was a joy to do work for you and your husband."
