Can't recommend them high enough!"

"Joe Electric technicians were on time as scheduled, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and cleanly. They did the job thoroughly and quickly. After having 2 other contractors flake out on the job at the last minute it was refreshing to have true professionals from Joe Electric come through. I highly recommend them!"

"I looked up Gandzjuk Electric on Home Advisors and saw they had 4.5 stars. Within 20 minutes Jacob the owner called and said he could have one of his employees out to my house that afternoon between 3 and 4. Jordan the tech called to say he would be here just a little after 3. He was able to diagnose the problem with my bathroom exhaust/heater fan which had a bad heater coil and said when the parts were in he would be back to install them. He was very professional and explained everything well. Even though it was more work, he reassembled the fan minus the heater part so we would have exhaust fan function. I was very impressed and would recommend this business."

"The work was done professionally and done on schedule. Raymond the manager gave me all the information I needed before the start of the project . The communication was timely and valuable throughout the project. The main reason I hired Excellent Electric is because Raymond also made recommendations that help to reduce the cost of materials and labor. I interviewed three other companies and all gave me competitive prices, but the recommendations Raymond gave me, set Excellent Electric above the three other companies I interviewed. I will hire Excellent Electric again and recommend this company."

"Steve Cavanee Electric installed a power transfer unit at my house to transfer power from the grid to generator power. They did excellent work, showed on time and did the installation at a fair and reasonable price. They provided follow-up communication with directions as well. I will be using them again as the need arises."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that outdoor Christmas lights be plugged into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to prevent hazardous electrical shocks or an electrical fire. It’s a code violation to plug outdoor Christmas lights into a non-GFCI outlet, so be sure to follow these guidelines for a safe and successful installation.

An estimate for electrical work should include an estimated number and an estimated price to complete the work. An electrical estimate should also include a description of the services to be provided as well as the materials to be used, such as wiring, switches, panels, or other items, and the cost for those materials. If any tax is charged, that should appear on the estimate, too. Some estimates may include additional options that can be added to the base price of the quoted job if the customer chooses to go ahead with the add-ons.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

Typically, refrigerators should not be plugged into GFCI outlets. This is another appliance with a motor that can be prone to a little current leakage. Using a standard outlet saves nuisance tripping and the potential of waking up to a refrigerator full of warm food. The only exception is when the refrigerator is in a garage, where all outlets must be GFCI.

The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.
