Q&A
My home in Cambridge has a partial power outage. What should I do?
First, check if it's just your home or if neighbors are affected. If it's isolated to your property, a tripped circuit breaker or a loose connection in your panel could be the cause. For your safety, avoid the electrical panel if you're unsure. As a 24/7 emergency service operating in Cambridge, you can call us anytime. We can quickly diagnose the issue, whether it requires a simple circuit breaker repair or a more involved panel inspection to find and fix a loose connection.
I'm considering installing an electric vehicle charger at my Cambridge home. What's involved?
Installing an EV charging station starts with an electrical inspection of your home's existing panel and wiring capacity. Many older homes in Cambridge may require a panel upgrade to safely support the new load. Our licensed electricians will assess your system, handle any necessary upgrades, and ensure the installation meets all local codes. We manage the entire process, from the initial site evaluation to the final, safe installation of your charging station.
My generator isn't switching on during a power failure. Can you help?
Yes, generator transfer switch issues are a common problem we address for Cambridge residents. The switch is a critical safety component that isolates your home from the utility grid when the generator is running. Malfunctions can prevent power transfer or create dangerous backfeed situations. Our electricians specialize in diagnosing and repairing generator systems, including the transfer switch, wiring, and connections, to ensure your backup power works reliably when you need it most.
