"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

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

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.
