What Easton is built out of
Most of Easton is bigger lots and bigger houses — centre-entrance colonials and garrisons built from the sixties through the nineties, often with a finished basement, an attached garage and an outbuilding or two. Many are on a well and a septic system, which means pump circuits and alarm circuits that a town-water house does not have.
Then there is North Easton village, which is a different century: 19th-century stone and timber around the Ames shovel works and the Richardson buildings. Those properties bring the opposite problem from the colonials. You cannot open a plaster-on-lath wall to fish a cable without doing real damage, so the work has to be planned around surface raceway, existing chases and whatever route the last electrician left behind.

Easton specifics
Why generators come up more here
Easton's distribution is largely overhead and runs through heavy tree cover. That combination is what makes a storm outage an Easton problem more than a downtown Brockton one, and it is why standby generators and transfer switches are a more common conversation on this side of the service area.
Done properly that is a generator sized off an actual load calculation, an automatic transfer switch so the changeover does not depend on anyone being home, and a permit and inspection on the install. We also service standby units we did not put in — if yours has not been load-tested in a few years, it is worth knowing whether it will actually start before the night you need it.
