"Burgin Brothers Electric Inc. was just the electrical company I needed to update my wiring. I recently did a remodel of the back unit of my duplex and Mark helped me with the electrical part of it. Mark and his company were so gracious and helped me out tremendously by also installing a kitchen hood vent and a bathroom exhaust fan. He is also extremely affordable. How I know this is that in the recent past I had an electrician add two circuits to my front unit. That electrician was extremely expensive and did not even complete the work, and other estimates I was given for my back unit were also just as expensive. I strongly advise that if you have Mark and his company come do any work for you, don't let anyone else handle your breaker panel; let him take over. He will clean it up for you. Any new circuits you have installed will be up to code. Mark knows how to analyze your system and will put in the proper safety features. He is remarkable, patient and helped me plan out my system so that it would work efficiently. I am very satisfied with Mark and his work ethic and I highly recommend Burgin Brothers Electric Inc."

"I had a short in an electrical outlet, and needed someone to come and replace all of them in the house. I called tail gunner electric. We realized that I live about an hour and a half away, but he was still willing to come and replace all my plugs the next day. He was very nice, professional. I will use/refer for any electrical work needed from now on."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.

The most common reason a GFCI outlet would trip even when nothing is plugged in is if there’s a problem at the circuit breaker end. This could be an overloaded circuit, with too many appliances plugged into it, or another type of fault. If a GFCI outlet keeps tripping, it can also be because it is faulty and needs replacing.

Both can and canless lights have distinct advantages, and the better option depends on your specific needs and preferences. Canless lights are often preferred for modern homes due to their slim, low-profile design, energy efficiency, and ability to fit in tight spaces with less ceiling depth required. Can lights, or traditional recessed lights, provide a classic look and may be better for high ceilings or areas that need stronger, more focused light. While they can be durable, they typically require more ceiling space and installation work. Ultimately, you should choose canless lights for a modern look and energy savings, or opt for can lights for a traditional aesthetic and robust lighting in larger spaces.
