I'm having trouble with my generator, can you repair it?

While we don't repair generators themselves, we can repair the wiring and connections to your backup generator. We can also help you install a replacement generator if you need it, and will be glad to offer our advice about the size and model you need for your backup power needs.

Why do my lightbulbs keep burning out right after I replace them?

It's very likely that you may have a short or loose wire somewhere along the lighting's wiring circuit or at the fixture. However, first make sure you're using a name-brand bulb and that the wattage is not too high for the fixture. If you are, let our electricians troubleshoot the problem so we can tell you what needs to be done to fix it.
