"Received a call right away and they were able to schedule me in for the same day. Adrian kept me informed of his arrival time and worked late in order to figure out the problem with the current issue with the solar panels. He needed parts to repair the issue and scheduled time to come back and install them. Adrian is very pleasant and professional. I’m would use them for future work. Thank you."

"I called Dan to install an outlet and he also found other serious problems with my house electrical. I have a much older home and was in desperate need of some electrical fixes. Dan was so nice and professional and very knowledgeable. He took the time to check everything out and really cared that things be right and things be safe. His price was very reasonable and I would definitely call him again and refer him to anyone."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Replacing the panel itself takes four to eight hours of work by a professional. However, if associated wiring and related components also require replacement, the labor time increases to 20 to 30 hours. Your electrician can speed up the process by bringing in a team of pros to handle ancillary tasks.

Like any other household appliance, electric fireplaces can wear out after about 10 to 20 years. With more frequent use, the parts will wear out quicker, and you may get just 7 to 10 years out of a well-loved electric fireplace. Fortunately, electric fireplaces come with a lower upfront installation cost compared to alternatives like gas, so you can install a replacement for less.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

You should never wire neutral and ground wires together at a light switch. Not only is it unsafe, but it’s also incorrect. The neutral and ground wires perform separate functions in an electrical circuit and should never be swapped or wired together at a light switch, light, or outlet. 

If you've ever tried to run your dishwasher while drying your hair, you’ll understand why dedicated circuits are essential for preventing blown fuses. Appliances that require more electricity than the circuit can handle could blow fuses, trip breakers, overheat, and risk an electrical fire. 

Having a dedicated circuit ensures that your appliance gets the current it needs without overloading the other circuits in your home.
