"Perfect! We reach out to them and M.Y. Electrical came out to give us an estimate. Not only did we have them run power for are future Tesla. The crew did a number of other electrical items on our property. They are coming back for other work that we need installed. Kind, informative, efficient and fair priced! Great service!"

"I hired LT Generators to install a Generac generator to protect my home from loss of power, rolling blackouts, etc. LT Generators was superb to work with through out the entire process. Communication and follow-up was extremely impressive. The installation, lead by Arnold and his team could not have been any better. The entire experience from start to install was a great experience. Highly recommend. RD"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can install a three-prong outlet without connecting any ground and plug in three-prong electronics into that outlet. The devices will function normally, but you won’t get any of the protection that grounding provides, so there’s an increased risk of serious problems if something goes wrong.

It's less expensive to run power overhead because it doesn’t require excavation, and the power cables are less costly. However, underground electric service is better protected from weather and general wear and tear, so it’s less likely to get damaged. When determining which way to run power, consult a local electrician to get an expect opinion.

The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.

You can move an electric meter outside if you currently have one inside your home. This is considered a larger move, so be prepared to pay on the upper end of $600 to $1,200. When hiring a professional electrician to move your electric meter, be sure to specify its current location and desired location, including pictures if possible.

A water heater is one of the heaviest hitters in your home, and it needs as much power as possible to help it run efficiently and effectively.

Your water heater should be on its own dedicated circuit breaker, with no other power sources running to it. This is required to meet the National Electric Code–and to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible.
