"Apollo responded quickly to a quote request. I described the job, provided some photos, and they were able to quote without a visit to the house, which was much appreciated. We scheduled the work for the next week. The communication during this period was very fast and smooth. The electricians arrived on time, we're very polite and professional, we reviewed the job once more, they completed the work, confirming with me the final location of new receptical before cutting started, and before I knew it the work was done. They cleaned up, we did final review of completed job, explanation of what to do in case there are questions or issues, invoice, out the door. Quite painless from end to end and I couldn't be more satisfied. Will hire again, absolutely."

"Ahmed is great. Did a great job to upgrade my electrical main panel with very reasonable price. He actually corrected the error made by the AC installer without I asked him to do so. Every professional! Highly recommended"

"Mr Scott Wooding came to my house, diagnosed the problem with my aging fan, pulled the worn out belt, advised he would order the part and return. Return he did, within 30 minutes. Fixed the fan, looked at some other electrical issues I had and resolved them. Delightful gentleman. Will keep his name in my list of reliable businesses in the area. Thank you Scott"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To fix a tripped light switch, locate your home's electrical panel and identify the tripped circuit breaker. It will be in the "off" or neutral position. Flip the breaker entirely to the "off" position, then switch it back to the "on" position. If the breaker trips again immediately, there may be a short circuit or overload in the system, requiring further investigation. If the switch still doesn't work after resetting the breaker, check for loose wires or faulty components in the switch itself. It is always best to consult a licensed electrician for persistent issues and when in doubt.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

Timers work by using an internal switch to turn power on or off to the cord plugged into it. Just the same way that a light switch turns lights on and off, the timer throws the switch at the programmed times.

On average, the cost to wire a new home ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot. The cost to rewire a house is around the same, ranging from $2 to $4 per square foot. Often, though, new wiring comes with lower overall costs since it’s much easier to access a home’s foundation. 

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.
