"Hector came by and gave me a quote. Explained what I needed done to setup my level 2 EV Charger from Electrify America. They came out, showed up early. Got everything done on a timely manner, Even hardwired the station, instead of installing an outlet. Hook up my Car before they left and everything is charging and working great. Great business, Great employees."

"Brent was amazing from start to finish. Anyone who has been involved in construction knows that changes happen and timelines don’t always go as planned. Brent went above and beyond by coming out on a Sunday when another contractor encountered an issue and we needed electrical work completed. He did whatever was necessary to help, and the customer’s needs were always his top priority. Brent with Farmers Electric will be our go-to electrician moving forward. Highly recommended!"

"Reliable Electric did a great job installing the plug and new GFCI breaker for my EV car charger according to the national codes. They arrived on time and worked efficiently to complete the work. The pricing was fair, and there were no surprise costs. Overall, I highly recommend Reliable Electric for any electrical jobs and would hire them again. They speak English, Punjabi and Hindi!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

The main types are 15-amp 120-volt outlets (2-prong and 3-prong), 20-amp 125-volt outlets, and 240-volt outlets for large appliances. Safety types include GFCI, AFCI, tamper-resistant, and weather-resistant outlets. Convenience types include switched, combination, USB, smart, and rotating outlets.

The lifespan of an average breaker box is 25 to 40 years, depending on the type and electrical events that occur in your home. Frequent power outages or surges can cause the breaker box’s lifespan to shorten. Maintain this essential electrical component by avoiding turning it off and inspecting it regularly for signs of damage.

In addition to grounding your outlets, you may want to hire an electrician for the following:

These additional electrical services ensure that your home’s electrical system is in working order and will accommodate your ground outlets.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.
