"Great service!  Wanted to surprise my husband with a birthday present of an already installed new flat screen smart TV.  Dennis was flexible with my preference for scheduling on the day of my husband's birthday and gave me a very reasonable estimate over the phone for 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. work.  
Jeremy and Josh were punctual and professional.  After unpacking the TV, the mount and the in-wall outlet that I provided, they went to work running the wiring for the TV outlet above the fireplace and installing the cover plate.  Jeremy took great care to place the outlet so that it would be completely hidden by the TV.  They installed the mount on the TV and the wall, making sure everything was level and centered and hung the TV on the wall.  After they ensured the TV would turn on, they cleaned up after themselves and were in/out in just under 2 hours.  
The TV looks fantastic and NO MORE CABLE/WIRE in front of my beautiful fireplace! Believe me, there is no need to call the "home theatre installation" people - what a rip-off!   Easy Electrical will do the same thing.  Thanks guys!  I'll definitely call you again!!

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

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

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

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.
