"John and Brian were prompt, professional, and had the work done in good time. They obviously work well together and enjoy their work. They gave me exactly what I wanted and didn't try to hard sell me something I didn't need. I would recommend definitely them, in fact I already have! Next time I need electrical work done, I am probably not going to even get bids, I will just call Greener Futures."

"Derek was easy to communicate with, arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and was respectful of me and my home. He made sure I liked how the pendant light was hung, and adjusted the height when we agreed it was too low. He recommended and quickly completed a small amount of additional work in the guest room that will save me future headaches. I love that MasPro is a small family business too… I would absolutely hire again for any future electrical or plumbing work."

"I had two small jobs that needed done. Install a thermostat and put the wiring to the cooktop into an electrical box. Both took less than half an hour to complete. Still had to pay for the first hour which is understandable. Wish I had more work for them to do. I would call them again based on this visit."

Small jobs welcome

"Summit Electrical's 2 employees (one journeyman, one aprentice) were prompt, they were clean and well groomed and they brought in a vacuum and a broom! The work was not easy and they had to make adjustments which they did. The job was done very well and they cleaned up the work area nicely. We are very happy with the overall experience: We highly recommend them. Thank you."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

There are several tools available to help prevent electrical fires. First, ensure that you have GFCI outlets installed in necessary areas, along with an AFCI, which is a circuit breaker that can help prevent arc-faults. Investing in surge protectors is also wise, as they can safeguard your appliances and other items against power surges that may overload your outlet and cause sparking.

Smart light switches are designed to be compatible with most lights and traditional home wiring, but there are several key factors to check. First, verify your home's wiring, as some smart switches require a neutral wire to operate, which may not be present in older houses (often built before 1985). Always check the wiring requirements for the specific model you choose. Second, consider your light bulbs; while smart switches work with almost any light, using a dimming feature requires dimmable bulbs, such as dimmable LEDs. Finally, ensure you have the necessary network connection. Most smart switches need a Wi-Fi connection for remote control, but some older models might use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible hub.

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.

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.
