"All projects were completely quickly with no problems afterward. The technicians were knowledgeable, organized, and patient. They assisted me with connecting my smart phone with the video doorbell and ensured that it was working before they left. My ceiling was much higher than expected. A phone call to Roque Jaime, the owner, resulted in a taller ladder being delivered by Roque within 30 minutes. I selected MJ Electric's quote because out of the many calls I made Roque Jaime was the only electrician that understood and explained my options for installing the video doorbell. I'm very pleased with the work they did for me."

"Robert Soto from Blue Bolt Electric removed my old hanging lights over my kitchen bar and replaced with new hanging lights! Robert is very professional, prompt, and did an excellent job. I am very satisfied with the job he did. He also replaced my bathroom heater fan which will be completed after Wednesday when it will get patched up around the fan since it was smaller than my ancient old one that was beyond repair."

"I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. They arrived on time, were incredibly professional, and took the time to fully explain the job before getting started. The quality of their work was top-notch!! They not only fixed the issues I was dealing with but also made several helpful recommendations to improve the overall electrical setup in my home. They worked efficiently, kept the work area clean, and ensured that everything was tested and functioning perfectly before they left. On top of that, their pricing was fair and transparent with no hidden fees. It's rare to find such reliable and skilled service these days, and I would absolutely recommend That's Right Electric to anyone in need of electrical work. I'll definitely be calling them for any future projects!"

"Where other companies just assumed a generic installation, Walter Electric spent a lot of time planning a customized arrangement that worked best for our particular layout. They gave more options and suggestions, and it made all the difference in the end. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about lighting installation!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Smart light switches are designed to be compatible with most lights and traditional home wiring, but there are several key factors to check. First, verify your home's wiring, as some smart switches require a neutral wire to operate, which may not be present in older houses (often built before 1985). Always check the wiring requirements for the specific model you choose. Second, consider your light bulbs; while smart switches work with almost any light, using a dimming feature requires dimmable bulbs, such as dimmable LEDs. Finally, ensure you have the necessary network connection. Most smart switches need a Wi-Fi connection for remote control, but some older models might use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible hub.

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. 

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.

No, it’s extremely dangerous to cap off live electrical wires. Working with live wires puts you at serious risk of electric shock, which can cause injury or even be fatal. Whenever you need to cap off electrical wires or complete any electrical work in general, it’s essential to shut the power off at the breaker before you begin.

A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm’s length of the entryway.
