is committed to excellence every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business

"We recently had our electrical panel replaced and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first call, Mike was incredibly informative and responsive. He took the time to walk us through the entire process—from permitting and scheduling to what to expect on installation day. Every question we had (and we had a lot!) was answered clearly and patiently. On the day of the job, Mike’s team arrived right on time. They were professional, efficient, and courteous throughout. They took great care to keep the work area clean and were respectful of our home. The replacement was completed on schedule, and the quality of the work was top-notch. Everything was labeled clearly, and Mike even followed up afterward to make sure everything was running smoothly. We really appreciated the transparency with pricing—no surprises, just honest and fair. It’s clear that Mike and his crew take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. "

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

It depends on where you live. Some cities may require a permit for electrical work, while others don’t. You’ll need to call your city’s building department to determine if you’ll need to apply for a permit or not. If a permit is required, you’ll likely have to pay a fee for it. 

When it’s time to replace an old or broken pool light, you can hire an electrician near you to get the job done. Working with an electrician is helpful for pool light replacements, especially if you need to repair or update any existing wiring or install new wiring for additional pool lights.

Different fences use different amounts of electricity, but their operating costs are very low overall. Electric fences pull between 4 and 25 watts from the system if you have an average-sized yard. Barring any complicated math, you can expect an average electric fence to cost less than $5 a month to run. Aboveground electric fences, which are not typical for residential use or small animals, can cost more, but you shouldn't notice a significant change in your electric bill.
