"Travis came to look at the problem on a Tuesday morning. When I explained to him that lights in the house were flickering he became concerned and put my job on the top of his list. Once he arrived he immediately diagnosed the problem as many of the circuits in the box had deteriorated due to moisture in the line. He fixed the bad circuit in question and showed me the problem and explained that due to the age, oxidation, and rust that I may have future issues with the remaining circuits. I decided to replace the entire circuit panel and circuits as well as have a new meter with new wiring and drip lines installed on the exterior of the house, as the old meter was also corroded and detaching from the siding.. Travis returned early the following day at the exact hour we had agreed upon and worked a full eight hours to complete the entire job. His work is exemplary: very neat and methodical and whenever I had a question he would answer it in detail. His work was completed within the 2 days and came to approximately 10 hours in total. He supplied all the necessary materials and had everything he needed on hand in his truck.. I recommend him very highly as a skilled and experienced electrician located in Berkshire County."

"Dominic removed old wiring and electric fixtures in my cabin. He installed all new wiring, inside and outside lights, and designated outlets for items like a microwave oven and future hot water heater. My contractor was impressed with the quality of Dominic's electrical rough-in. After the insulation and sheetrock were completed, he returned to add all the fixtures, switchplates, smoke detector, etc. Everything looks great. I've used Dominic a couple of times, and he does a neat, professional job, always responsive to the customer's needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

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. 

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Yes, installing a generator usually increases your property value because buyers are getting the added peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to maintain power through blackouts. In most cases, you should see close to a 100% return on investment (ROI). Keep in mind that home generators usually need a permanent foundation, and installing a concrete slab will likely raise your property taxes slightly.

While natural gas generators are costly, they’re a great option for standby power due to the reliability of natural gas as a fuel source. Unlike other fuels, natural gas is delivered through underground pipes, making outages extremely rare and less likely to be affected by the elements. As long as the area isn’t prone to earthquakes, they offer an unlimited supply of natural gas that doesn’t degrade over time or require storage in tanks.
