"Steve and his crew of electricians did a fabulous job. They basically replaced the entire house’s electrical, all new switches and outlets in addition to all the new light fixtures in every room. They showed up on time, did what they said they would and addressed every issue encountered in the rehab. In addition, Steve was great helping me decide what to put where. An overall excellent experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Warner Electric for any electric job."

"Amp-A-Neer was very professional and reasonably priced! I just bought an electric vehicle and needed an EV charger installed in my garage. After calling Amp-A-Neer electric I knew I had the right company for the job. They came the following day and were quick and efficient! I would use this company again for future electrical services!"

"I had Proper Power Electric come out to replace some old switches and put in a new ceiling fan in my dining room. Foster was the electrician who did the work, and he did an awesome job. Super professional, knew what he was doing, and got everything done efficiently. Definitely would hire them again!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Wiring an outlet can be done safely by someone with the proper knowledge and tools, but it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to do the job for you. That way, you can rest assured that your outlet will be rewired safely and quickly. 

While not always necessary, wiring your circuit breaker in a certain way can ease both the installation process and use afterward. For starters, you’ll need to install the electrical panel so that the main service knockout aligns with the cable conduit. If they aren’t aligned, you may not have sufficient working space to finish running the wires. Using cable trays, on the other hand, gives you a bit more freedom to and flexibility in where and which direction you install the wires. At the end of the day, the power flow will be the same whether the cords run up or down.

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.

A voltmeter measures the voltage of AC or DC electrical current. Unlike a multimeter, measuring voltage is a voltmeter’s only function. Voltage is the potential difference between two points within a circuit. Measuring voltage with a voltmeter can help identify wiring issues or determine whether a battery is dead.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.
