We’ve put together some answers to questions we often receive as an electrician in Livingston, MT.
When it comes to outdoor lighting installation, any fixtures added will need to be able to withstand wet and damp weather conditions. This often involves installing wiring underground for safety. The labor it takes to perform outdoor lighting installation versus indoor lighting installation is more intense.
If new wiring or new circuits are part of the project, you should definitely hire a licensed electrician like those at Sacry Electric. Swapping a fixture may be able to be done on your own, but due to the inherent risk of working with electricity, you may want to enlist an expert for this, as well.
Installing a Level 1 charger is the same as installing any other typical 120-volt outlet that can already be found around your home. Level 2 chargers are 240-volt outlets, so require special installation that can only be performed by trained experts in electric vehicle chargers.
Yes, if you’re getting a Level 2 charger. You’ll need a dedicated circuit added which requires a permit and inspection.
This will depend on whether you have available amperage or open breaker slots. We can assess your current electrical panel and determine whether or not an electrical panel replacement is necessary.
If you just need a breaker replaced or something similarly simple, that can take as little as an hour to complete. Any rewiring or more complex situations can take up to a full day of work.
Portable generators don’t need to be permanently installed, since they’re made to store when not in use and wheel out when needed. Standby models require special generator installation by a licensed electrician, including hooking them up to a fuel source like natural gas or propane.
The automatic transfer switch is how a standby generator knows to turn on when there’s a loss of power and turn off when power is restored through the municipal power grid.
The problem in this case likely lies with the transfer switch or a tripped breaker. Our team can perform generator repair to fix the malfunctioning component.
Outside of generator repair needs that pop up unexpectedly, you should get your generator maintained professionally at least once per year.
This will need to be done if you are adding onto your house or installing new appliances, which will increase the energy load required by the household.
Yes, we can divide up your electrical remodel into stages, but we’ll need to plan carefully to avoid the need to redo work.
Yes, you can work with our team at Sacry Electric to schedule your commercial electrical services when it will cause minimal disruption to your business. We’re happy to accommodate.
Not always. If your solar electrical system is tied to the grid, you won’t need batteries. The downside is that if the grid goes down you’ll lose power to your building. Investing in battery storage ensures power even if there’s a municipal grid blackout.
