"I got a call back within a few minutes of entering the information in HomeAdvisor. Wow. Did not expect such a fast response time. I told Frank about the light job and he was able to provide me a bid on the phone. My schedule/availability is limited, so appreciated his flexibility. He called me in the morning of the appointment to make sure had all equipment needed for the job. Very professional demeanor and got the job done quickly. I asked to help me with another electric problem and he fixed that for me too. 5 star service beginning to end. Fair price for the work done. Project result was great, so 5 star on quality of work. F.J. Lee Electric gets my highest recommendation."

"Scott provided the lowest estimate of the three I got. He was able to schedule the job in less than a week and the job was done well and quickly as scheduled. No issues since the job was completed about a week ago. I would call him first for any other electrical work I may have in the future."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

If the outlet is a GFCI model, this is normal since these outlets have their own breakers that shut off when they encounter a problem—just hitting the reset button should solve the issue. Otherwise, the outlet could have bad wiring, or your circuit breaker could be having issues. If the issue started out of nowhere and is not on a GFCI outelt, it’s best to contact an electrician to diagnose the issue.

Wiring a light switch wrong can cause a fire if the incorrect wiring causes arcing, meaning the current jumps uncontrolled from one conductor to another. Loose wires or worn wires that are not repaired or replaced can cause arcing. If you’re not 100% sure you can do the job safely, don’t attempt to wire a light switch on your own.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
