Description of Work: Install portable generator and transfer switch

Description of Work: DST Electric installed two light fixtures - one in a rear screened porch; the other in our living room area - and also installed an electrical outlet. This involved running a fair amount of new electrical wiring.

Description of Work: DST Electric installed a Generac 8 KW generator in my back yard. They ordered the generator, delivered it, set it up, installed the transfer box and wired everything into my electric panels. They also pull the permits for your town. You must, however, get in touch with your fuel provider (in my case the LP company) in order for them to complete the setup to the propane tank. Once that is in place, DST returned to do the final test of the generator, ensuring that everything functions as expected.

Description of Work: We wanted a portable generator for our new home. We were concerned about losing electricity and not having backup for the sump pump in our finished basement, as well as having heat for our three children in the winter. We did a lot of shopping around, or rather I did since my husband was working long hours. I was very frustrated by the responses I got from a number of companies when they heard a woman's voice on the line. Either they would give me just a ball park number with no specifics of the equipment and labor costs, or if they deigned to come see me, they just threw some pamphlets at me and called it a day. I was so impressed with Don who took the time not once but twice to come out to see me. The first time I was by myself, and yet he went over all the details and answered all my questions regarding what we needed/wanted versus what we could afford, the subtle differences in the different machines he had to offer, and the benefits of the "Interlock Kit" that gave me the option of powering ANYTHING in my house (within the capability of the generator of course!). And then he easily agreed to come back when my husband was home to go over it all again to make sure we were satisfied with his offer and estimate. He wired everything up in a couple of hours, showed me how to work the generator, made sure I could start it, and offered to come back and show my husband later if we wanted. We had a chance just this past weekend to use our generator in the freak October snow storm when over 300,000 people lost power in NH alone. We were only out for less than 24 hours, but the generator kept our home warm, our fridge cold, our kids asleep in bed with their night lights, and we even got to make coffee in the morning. I highly recommend Don if you are in the market for a generator and I sure when we need electrical work around the house, we will be calling him again!
