"John was always professional and quick to respond and answer my questions. For personal reasons, before hiring Barclay Construction, I had to wait a long time to be able to replace my old siding. John and his crew made it worth the wait. All were pleasant and made me feel they were anxious to please me and take pride in their work. In addition to the siding replacement, they painted the trim and doors and installed my window boxes. I am so happy and appreciative of the great work that they did. I can give them my wholehearted recommendation."

"Kent is an excellent person and I would call him and his co-worker for any electrical work. He installed a standby power generator for me and did an outstanding job. During this COVID-19 period he and his employee wore gloves, masks, and booties when required to be inside our home. Can't say enough good about this company!"

"I had used Worry Free Electric in the past and had very good service. I called James Costello again for some outlet relocations, new outlets, and new light fixtures installation/replacement. I was supplying these new light fixtures. I told James what I wanted to achieve, and where I wanted the new outlets and ceiling lighting fixtures located. He made some recommendations and suggestions, did exactly what I wanted and beyond with the addition of some three way switches for the lighting circuits. The whole experience was above my expectations. James Costello will be my first call for any future licensed Electrician project!"

"Jason and his helper established power to a garage and installed outlets and lights that I supplied. The work was of high quality and to applicable standards. He did not skimp on materials — they were from electrical supply house. I would have liked more communications, but he did what he said he would do."

"AJ took very good care of our project. Quick response and excellent timing for installation of new fan in a LR with no electrical fixture in the ceiling. Also replaced a tired bathroom exhaust fan. Really wish we would have done this project a long time ago, the living room ceiling fan is a game changer. Would recommend you check AJ out for your project."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home generators. A permit for a generator usually costs between $50 and $250, depending on where you live. Your electrician or certified generator installer will usually pull the permit for you—and might be required to do so by your building department—but you’ll be on the hook for the cost of the permit. You should ask your installer before agreeing to any work if they will pull the necessary permits for your project.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

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