"We are selling our home and bk electric services did the electrical in the home for the original owners. We wanted to do a few touchup before selling the property. They came out and did some WIFI switches and outlets and few nice upgrades and changed some of the fixtures. They did a quick and fair price job."

"Andy & his crew do excellent work at a very good price plus they have a wide range of talents. Do not hesitate to hire them! They just finished installing stereo speakers inside the ceilings of my house plus amps & now I will ask them fix all my electrical issues. It might sound as if Iâ m related to them but Iâ m not(!) just very impressed w/ the whole ACT team & their work. Plus Andy is on call if needed to troubleshoot your new system if needed. Highly recommended."

"Tyler did a great job for a good price. He had to cut some drywall to fish a line, and you can barely see where he cut. It was cool to see his mind running while he looked at all the options and chose the best with the least damage. I will hire him again any time I need electrical work done."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When removing an old security alarm system, you likely won't need to remove any of the wiring. Wiring can either be left in place for a replacement system or capped off for safety and pushed into the wall. If you're uncomfortable with the wiring, or if it's badly damaged, contact a professional electrician for assistance with safe removal.

Hire an electrician the same way you would an employee. Ask questions and look for a good fit. Streamline the process by using these questions to ask an electrician. It's also common to ask for a quote in writing. Don’t forget to provide all the project details to ensure there are no surprises or opportunities for added fees.

Rewiring projects cost anywhere between $1,500 and $10,000 on average, depending on the complexity and the size of the rewiring. You can anticipate spending between $2 and $4 per square foot of wire, including labor and materials. Wire material ranges from $0.25 to $1.60 per linear foot.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

A circuit breaker flipping off when it detects an overloaded circuit isn’t a problem, but flipping the switch frequently can damage it and eventually cause an electrical hazard. If you’re going on a long vacation or leaving your home for the season, you should avoid turning off your circuit breaker to prevent electrical damage to your system.
