"Very great customer service. Came in knocked the job out. Explained everything they did to a tee. I Was very impressed with the quality of work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an electrical work that needs to be done."
"I had Brian of Wiring Up Alaska LLC remove 12 old fluorescent 48” tubes and ballast and rewire the existing fixtures as necessary for new LED fixtures. He was prompt, efficient, and pleasant to have at the house. The proposal I got from Elayne was sent promptly, was very price competitive, and was comprehensive and easy to understand. The proposal included the cost of new LED tubes. The job was done promptly as specified in the bid and we were very happy with the results."
"Michael showed up right on time, removed the old light fixture, installed the new one. He cleaned up the small mess that was made with the project and took the old fixture out with him when he left to dispose of. The pricing was fair and I have absolutely no complaints with the technician that came to do the project or Supreme Electric & will use them again on future projects."
"He came right over on a Sunday and helped drain the crawl space then set up schedule to dry out, replace wet insulation and fix broken pipes. Ordered and later installed new water heater. It was a process but Matt and his associates were super helpful, professional and nice."
"Rick was easy to work with and suggested excellent quality windows. With the pandemic problem, they stayed in touch trying to get the windows from the manufacturer. The installation was quick and easy and done exceptionally well. I am very pleased with the product, the labor and the cost. I have already suggested them to others who has used them for their windows also!"
Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too.
A 100 amp electrical service panel can't convert into a 200 amp panel simply by switching the breakers or adding circuits. Upgrading from 100 to 200 amps typically requires replacing the circuit box and updating the electrical service coming into the house. Your electrician will handle the details of the project to ensure a safe and thorough installation.
When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.
Single-pole light switches are the most common light switches on the market. Their simple features make them easy to install and use. For more powerful applications that require 30 or 40 amps, you may need to use a double-pole switch. Some homeowners may want multi-way switches like three-way or four-way switches to control a light fixture from opposing ends of the room.
Grounded electrical outlets are usually three-pronged. You can also look for a grounding clip in your outlet boxes or use a circuit tester. If you’re unsure, consult a suitably qualified electrician regarding your home's electrical safety.
