In some cases we can help you right now! If not, we will schedule an appointment that fits your schedule. If you receive our answering service, please leave us a message. We will call you back as soon as possible. Domestic Based Support. Our company is based right here in the United States and all of our technicians speak clear, fluent English. Safe Interaction. By using our online support center, no one has to come out to your home to fix your computer. That means no strangers in your home and you don’t even have to get dressed, if you don’t want to. Extremely Affordable & Convenient. Unhooking your computer, dragging it out to the car, then driving to the store and dragging in there and waiting for weeks to get it back and then pay hundreds of dollars for such fantastic service. That’s the typical experience for most users. Most Issues are software based. In our experience. 85% of user’s problems are either software or operating system problems due to bugs, worms, virus’, Trojans, malware, grayware or spyware related. As long as your computer turns on and has an internet connection, we can probably solve your issue. If we find that your issue is a hardware issue, we will recommend a trusted, local support company to help you further, if possible.

Robert Rathbone Handyman Services 215N Cabot VT 802-522-6255 As of 7/31, I am closing to move, as I have sold my house, and I have a lot of work ahead of me. . Please call for services offered...I cannot change the list! Central Vermont's Premier Handyman Services Provider with over 35 years of experience in ALL aspects of building care and repair; both residential and commercial. A high quality job is visible, satisfying and lasting. It usually is not much more to do than 'splash and dash'. I have 5yrs receiving Angi's Super Service Award for Quality and Excellence, with 5yrs of perfect reviews. They aren't participation awards, and I'm proud to represent Angi. I have a 5 point philosophy of connecting with my clients. I call it: 'HITCH': -Honesty- Always be straight. -Integrity- Don't compromise on quality. -Transparency-Be clear on everything. -Communication- Means no surprises -Heart- Love the client.

If you see something you don't like with the job, please bring it to my attention immediately. I cannot correct what I don't know. It's not fair to either of us to have me finish something that you don't like or want... especially if you could have averted the problem earlier by simply asking "what the heck?" I don't mark up on materials. My job is install em, not sell em, but I am on the clock,at my lowest rate, to get them. My rates are:45$/hr for general work, 65 for technical work like plumbing/electrical/propane, and 85 for sewer line work, because nobody likes playing in poo. I don't mark up on materials. I am on the clock to get them, though. I have a 2hr minimum, in lieu of a service charge, so make a list! I have discounts for Veterans and Seniors.

"Robert fixed my dryer, which was not working correctly on and off over the last few months. He identified the issue quickly and got the job done in one visit. Hard work, done well."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It's possible to get power from an outlet for a light switch. However, you must install additional wiring to get current from the outlet to the switch and from the switch to the load it will control. Also, you must ensure that the outlet's electrical circuit can accommodate the additional demand. 

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

Yes, overheating outlets can cause fires, even if nothing is plugged in at the time. If your outlet is too hot, turn off the circuit breaker, unplug everything, and let it cool down before troubleshooting the issue. Fortunately, outlet fires are rare, but if a fire starts, suppress it with a Class C fire extinguisher or baking soda—or leave the area immediately and call the fire department.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

Yes, a bad switch can cause other outlets not to work. If the switch is part of a circuit that controls multiple outlets, a fault in the switch can disrupt the entire circuit. It can happen if the switch is wired incorrectly, has a loose connection, or is damaged. Fixing or replacing the faulty switch can often restore power to the affected outlets
