"We’re so happy we were recommened Honeybee Electirc. Hector upgraded our electrical panel and also installed the connector for an EV charging station. The whole job went really smoothly from start to finish. Everything passed Edison inspection with no problems, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He was friendly, professional, and just really easy to work with. What we appreciated most was that he didn’t just do the panel upgrade and leave, he also took the time to help organize and clean up our electrical system overall, which was above and beyond what we expected. It’s hard to find someone who does great work and is also kind and personable, but he really checked all the boxes. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others."

"Mike with Selectric exceeded our expectations! We were in need of an electrician, so a friend of mine recommended him. I contacted him, he was very responsive and once we spoke about the issue we were having he was kind enough to check it out the next day. He explained throughly what needed to be done, which made me feel reassured that he knew what he was doing. We are very pleased with his work, will definitely be using his services again!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Watts and volts represent distinct aspects of a light bulb’s functionality. Volts measure the electrical force that drives the current through the bulb, determining its compatibility with the power source. Watts, on the other hand, quantify the bulb’s power consumption and indicate its brightness level. Higher watts generally mean a brighter bulb.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.

If only half of your outlet works, there are usually two possible causes: faulty wiring or a half-hot outlet. The first thing you'll want to do is check the circuit breaker panel to ensure that it's not tripped. If your circuit breaker isn't tripped, turn off the electricity and inspect the wiring to see if anything has come loose or corroded. 

If you have a half-hot outlet, it means half of the outlet is controlled by a switch somewhere on the same circuit, which should be nearby. This is an intentional electrical design commonly found in rooms without overhead lights.

A GFCI outlet is easy to identify. It features two buttons on the face that read “TEST” and “RESET.” Sometimes, the “RESET” button is red. These are positioned in the center of the two three-prong plug-in slots you see on a regular outlet. Some also feature a green light to indicate when the outlet is working, changing to red when there is a problem.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
