"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."

"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!"

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, because amps and volts measure very different things. However, you can use basic equations to find amps or volts by using data about one of the measurements to calculate the other.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

No, not all thermostats require a C-wire. Older manual and programmable thermostats typically do not need one. While many smart thermostats do require a C-wire to function correctly, some models can operate without one, often at the expense of certain features. A C-wire provides a constant source of power, which enables the thermostat to stay connected to Wi-Fi and keep its display screen lit on-demand. If you are upgrading from an older thermostat to a smart model that requires a C-wire, you may need to install one first for it to work as intended.

The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).

Smart light switches are designed to work with most traditional light fixtures and wiring. However, there are several compatibility factors to consider. Some smart switches require a neutral wire to function, which may not be present in older homes (typically built before 1985). If you plan to use a dimming feature, ensure your LED bulbs are specifically the dimmable type. Additionally, a stable Wi-Fi connection is necessary for remote control, though some models may use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible smart home hub.
