Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business

"We recently had our electrical panel replaced and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first call, Mike was incredibly informative and responsive. He took the time to walk us through the entire process—from permitting and scheduling to what to expect on installation day. Every question we had (and we had a lot!) was answered clearly and patiently. On the day of the job, Mike’s team arrived right on time. They were professional, efficient, and courteous throughout. They took great care to keep the work area clean and were respectful of our home. The replacement was completed on schedule, and the quality of the work was top-notch. Everything was labeled clearly, and Mike even followed up afterward to make sure everything was running smoothly. We really appreciated the transparency with pricing—no surprises, just honest and fair. It’s clear that Mike and his crew take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. "

Hardworking, driven and goal-oriented electricians with a deep understanding of electrical design, installation and inspection. No job is too small and you can rest assured the project will be finished properly and on time. Been in the electrical field over 25 years, for both commercial and residential. Finally, decided to expand on my own to empower your home or business. Tambien se habla espanol.

"Came quickly, went to get part fixed my fan and he looked at another fan I had, and the man couldn’t hook up the remote and the repair guy did that. Not bad $185. Will be calling back."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, but our analogy with the water hose doesn’t really work here. You see, electrical flow isn’t constant: It ebbs and flows like waves, coming in pulses of power. Hertz measures the rate of change in the flow of electricity, or how often it ebbs and flows. For example, 60Hz means that the electrons pulse through wiring 60 times per second. When they are pulsing, they’re in a brief retreat. Almost all United States equipment is rated for 60Hz.

Daisy-chaining refers to placing multiple GFCI outlets in a row along the same circuit. This won’t do any harm, but it’s of limited usefulness because a properly-placed GFCI can monitor all downstream outlets on its own. Multiple GFCI installations won’t usually increase safety except in special cases.

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

A C-wire connects your thermostat to your household heating and cooling system to provide full-time 24V power to the thermostat. The wire connects to the terminals labeled C in the furnace and thermostat in most configurations. However, in some cases, you can bypass the fan-only function and connect the C-wire to the G terminal at the furnace. 

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
