We are a family owned and operated business that has been serving the Baltimore, Washington Metropolitan area since 1925. We are committed to providing superior electrical services. The valuable advantages we can offer you are great service, high quality and experienced workers at a competitive price.

"Do not use this company. They will rip you off. The contract was for eight 300W LED 40 ft pole lights, but I caught them redhanded installing 240W. Who does that? Then, they broke my lock and broke into my sprinkler room which I saw on my video which they admitted. Then, Kolb sued me for not paying the bill which I disputed due to lost tools as result of the break-in. Who does that breaking into a customer's sprinkler room and not informing that they did. I had to catch them on my video. Not only that it took over one year to the work proposed work. TOTAL FRAUD. I will be going to court...."

For over 30 years, Root Electric Services has been serving the Northern Virginia area as a residential and commercial service electrician. The company is now in its second generation, being founded by Bill and Janice Root in 1986, and now growing under the direction of their son, Bill. Root employs a small number of professional, highly productive, and friendly electricians. Root Electric sets itself apart from competitive companies by providing comprehensive, up-front pricing. That means Root Electric provides bids that include all of the components needed for each specific installation. In contrast, some contractors omit certain critical parts from the bid to win the job, then add them back in as a change order after the contract is signed and work has begun. Our customers appreciate that we tell then what they are buying, then deliver what we promised at the price that we quoted.

"Prompt service! Andy is an awesome and patient technician! Root Electric saved my sanity and saved me money. I will definitely be using Root Electric for any future electrical needs!"

Beacon Home Services is a family owned and operated electrical & plumbing contractor. Our experienced plumbers & electricians have been providing superior services to the Northern Virginia Area since 2002. Our Master technicians are fully licensed and have more than enough experience to insure your satisfaction with our services. We have proven our ability to satisfy customers by reinventing the service industry and putting customer service at the top of our list! Customer safety is also very important to Beacon Home Services. That's why all our employees have gone through background checks so you can be sure that you're in good hands with Beacon Home Services.

"I hired Beacon to install an attic fan and route the two exhaust vents from my restrooms outside. With the attic fan, I don't have any complaints. It seems to be working as intended. I cannot say the same for the restroom vents. The tech had to come to my home on three separate days to fix an issue. 1. He had attached the vent pipes in a Y design. Which ended up reducing the fan efficiency and it pushed the steam to the other restroom. It also caused the fan to drip water. 2. He added dampers. Which then blocked the steam from leaving completely. We had to use a dehumidifier to shower. 3. When I finally persuaded then to dedicate a line to each fan. I was charged an additional amount. Unfortunately, my fan STILL drips water. Meaning it was not installed correctly. So, I'm not sure what I as the customer can realistically do but to avoid them. Pictures attached show dripping and the one exhaust port for the two fans. Installed in the eave? Not sure this is code."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

No, you shouldn’t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That’s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of electrical fire or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.

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.
