Installed Sense energy monitoring system. Initial plan was to install clamps on ATS load wires; however, clamps were rated for a maximum of 200A. After confirming system requirements, clamps were instead installed on two separate panels to accommodate proper monitoring. Monitoring unit was mounted inside the trough, with the antenna positioned externally for signal transmission. Power was restored, and the system emitted a confirmation tone, indicating readiness for programming via the mobile application. Installation instructions were left at the designated outdoor location.

Performed diagnostic inspection on standby generator and associated transfer switch. Initial visual inspection identified a weak battery producing only 400 cold cranking amps, significantly below the required 600 CCA. Battery was a marine-grade model manufactured in 05/2019, rated at 675 CCA, and determined to be unsuitable for continued use. Battery terminals were also cleaned. Further inspection revealed low coolant levels (approximately one gallon low) and oil level down by approximately ¾ quart. A damaged hose was also identified, located within a wire loom, measuring approximately 8 feet in length, and requiring replacement due to condition and placement difficulty. After fluid top-offs and terminal cleaning, the generator started with difficulty. A replacement battery was obtained and installed to meet the equipment’s specifications. The transfer switch includes a surge protector, which tested as operational. Generator and transfer switch are now functioning within expected

Electrical Outlet Installation
Electrical outlets and switches are one of the most used items at home. What people don’t know is that these outlets and switches can be a potential hazard. That’s why Electrical Safety Check is necessary to ensure your properties safety.
With the passage of time, plugs and switches connections can become loose with usage, posing potential danger. Switches or plugs that feel warm to the touch definitely need the attention of an electrician. Another sure sign that you have a problem with your electrical system is visible discoloration. You should take this as a sign to call our trusted and licensed experts.
Electrical Panel Installation
Old electrical systems are a thing in too many aged households. Check your panel. If they’re still using fuses then you need to stop reading and start scheduling for a panel upgrade estimate now. Supposing your panel has outlived 25 years, book a panel upgrade estimate at once.
The modern lifestyle, along with all its conveniences, demand more power from the electrical grid more than it ever did. The devices of today such as high-power appliances and big screen TVs require more power than an older system can provide safely. The truth is, electrical panels are usually not upgraded until there’s an issue.
Indicators that you need an upgraded panel:
- Required accommodation for a home generator
- The recent addition of a sub-panel
- Use of high-load electrical equipment
- Existing non-grounded outlets and wiring
- Crackling or buzzing sounds from the electrical panel
- Circuit surge
- Lights or bulbs flickering
- Tripping breakers or blown fuses
- Scorching or discoloration of electrical panel
- Use of multiple extension cords
- New construction or new appliances
- Addition of a hot tub or a sauna
- Additional 220v circuit
- Need higher Amp incoming Service
Your panel will be evaluated by our team of licensed electricians to start with the process. He’ll take the time to consider the amount of power you use and decide if you need a new one. Then, he will explain to you what your upgrade options are. Just like any of our other services, we won’t get started with the work until we have your approval.
Lighting Repair Services
Standard home insurance policies don’t cover damage caused by surges from power surges or lighting strikes. This is why you should determine if you’re properly protected from them. The National Fire Protection states that the average cost per claim is now around $5,869, which is a rise to 122% from 2004-2013. It makes good financial sense to have our team of professionals come out to your home and install protection against power and lightning surges.
