"We needed a very last minute upgrade of our electrical - we purchased a hot tub thinking we just needed electrical run to it and a new outlet installed for it...boy were we wrong. My old house only had a 100 amp panel, so didn't have enough amperage to even run a hot tub. We were quoted an astronomical amount from a larger company locally and wanted a second opinion. Pedro was very knowledgeable and was also able to complete this project for a reasonable price and on our very tight timeline. Thank you!"

"Very professional, walked me through everything explaining where I understood, was very happy with the work done and clean up at the end of each day, was a great price which is was my only concern at first wondering if it would reflect on quality of work done as was pretty cheap compared to the other bids but it turned out I had no reason to be concerned. Great work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an electrical fire hazard, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping.

In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you’ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn’t currently include them.
