"The rep suggested several improvements including upgrading to a solar heating system. We are now in the process of installing a solar heating system. With government tax incentives over the next 2 years we will finance $15K. If I just keep paying what I was paying for my monthly power bill towards the solar panels and upgrades the payback is less that 7 years. After which, my electricity is free. System has a 30 year warranty. Looking forward to the installation and will provide feedback once it is installed and in operation."

"Key is very polite and professional. He was able to handle my issue quickly. Key noticed a faulty wire (not what he was here for), which is not the first time that’s happened in this house. He fixed it when he could have just left it. I appreciate his attention to detail. If it was possible to give him more than 5 stars, I would."

GSM has been in business for a very long time.  I know why.  GSM was professional from the original contact, to the quote, to the install, the testing, and the follow up.  The advisor answered my questions, and was available later for follow up questions.  They gave me a range of quotes which I really appreciated and helped me make a fair comparison to other quotes I received.  This company guarantees your satisfaction and comfort, and they give that to you in writing.  They were willing to work with me on scheduling the installation, and kindly provided a portable unit to keep me cool overnight.  The weather was in the high 90s and this was a two day job.  The technicians who actually did the work were courteous and respectful of my home.  I felt completely comfortable with them coming in and out as needed.

Once the installation was done, they gave me good clear instructions on using the system; I feel comfortable with the programmable thermostat.  They cleaned up after themselves well too.  They have provided detailed information on how I can reach them with any questions or concerns.  These guys understand customer service.  I anticipate a long business relationship with them.

"Great follow through, good pricing. The generator required several trips and follow-up items because it required different inspections. They did a great job at following up on these steps and the generator works perfectly. Since that time we called them for some smaller electrical jobs. They are very detailed oriented, an example would be that I gave what I thought I wanted and they gave feedback based on their experience showing a better way to do it. I welcomed this and was happy they suggested it."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. 

There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.

When shopping for a multimeter to handle this job, make sure you purchase one that is able to test for capacitance. While most multimeters offer this function, some do not. You shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money to find the right multimeter. There are models that can perform this test that cost as little as $10.

Yes, a whole-house surge protector needs a designated breaker in your electrical panel. You will need to choose a double pole breaker that has two wire terminals so that your surge protector can connect to the breaker. This breaker needs two breaker slots inside of your panel. If you do not have room, then you will either need to adjust some of the existing breakers in the panel box or hire an electrician to install a subpanel.

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.
