"I echo the thoughts of so many others and that of Sydney, in that you would think Link Electric wrote this review. Marcus is incredibly polite, attentive, easy-going, upbeat demeanor, professional and most of all, knowledgeable. When he told me he had finished installing the outside breakers, I was taken back because it he did it so quickly. I have another project to be done and Marcus will be the person I hire! He is truly exceptional like so many other have written."

"Quick friendly service. Work was done professionally and neatly. Had my main electrical panel replaced and a couple additional wiring projects done. Had several bids from different companies. Kelly?s bid was competitive. You get a professional experienced crew led by a certified master electrician with years of experience. Hard to find with most crews out there. Highly recommended."

"Tyler from TMD Irrigation Service was prompt, polite and professional. He accurately diagnosed an electrical issue with our sprinkler valves, repaired two leaking valves and got our system working perfectly in less than an hour. He also walked the property looking for any other sprinkler issues and made a couple of helpful suggestions on how to get the most out of our aging sprinkler system. He is intelligent, honest, efficient and affordable. I've worked with a number good of Irrigation/Lawn Sprinkler professionals over the years. Tyler is one of the best."

"I can t recommend Markus highly enough. Once contacted, he was prompt to respond and provided a written formal quote, which included cost breakdown of all materials and labor. He upgraded lighting and other electrical associated with our full kitchen remodel. The materials he recommended and installation fit our needs perfectly. The job was performed in 2 phases, before drywall and after drywall/texture/paint. Each time the workspace was left clean and free of work debris. He is courteous and able/willing to make changes on the fly. A true professional."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.

Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.

That depends on your setup. If a circuit breaker already has GFCI protection, then everything connected to that specific circuit is being monitored. You don’t need additional GFCI outlets on that breaker.

However, if the breaker is not GFCI, then you should have GFCI receptacles for at-risk outlets nearby water sources, because they are not receiving protection. Breakers in a breaker box can vary between GFCI and non-GFCI. Look for GFCI labels on the breaker or try to find the breaker model number to look it up if you aren’t sure.

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).
