"Had Garner Electric install 2 large deck ceiling fans and 2 electrical outlets at each end of the deck ceiling. Also put in a new outdoor GFI outlet. Garner Electric was extremely prompt responding to my request with reasonable price and professional work. Recommend highly without any reservations and will use again for future electrical work."

"Jason and is daughter, Kelsi, are a great team. My initial need was a porch light with a timer, but that expanded to having a ceiling fan and under-cabinet lights installed. I was so pleased with the porch light that Jason will be back soon to install seven more ceiling lights."

"In the selling of our home, through formal inspection through the buyer, the inspector suggested upgrading certain electrical outlets with GFCI outlets in the bathroom's, garage, and kitchen. On a Friday using HomeAdvisors, I was contacted by B&C Electric who came to my home that day. The electrician arrived early Monday as scheduled. GFCI outlets were installed two older in wall outdated outlets were disconnected and covered with solid plates. As usual with an elderly home, two outlets had very old/original in wall boxes that were too small to accommodate the GFCI outlets. The electrician had to enlarge the wall openings and install new boxes. This was all done in a short amount of time and the cost to me was around half the price I expected to pay! I recommend D&C Electric."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

People who have experienced blown fuse have occasionally tried to fix the problem by placing copper pennies in the fuse box. While they are good conductors of electricity and can seemingly “fix” the issue,  they don’t protect against short circuits or fires. Putting pennies in a fuse box is dangerous—the best solution is to call a professional electrician to fix the problem.

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

Yes, wire connectors are the better option for securing splices compared to electrical tape. It is not recommended to use electrical tape as it is not secure enough to keep the splices together. Plus, electrical tape is more vulnerable to damage, which can cause a risk of fire over time. 

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.
