"Electricity was needed for a new control panel for my backyard sprinklers, and I needed a couple of light fixtures replaced in my house. The gentleman showed up on-time and quickly took care of everything in three hours, which included making a run to the hardware store for a part. The price was very reasonable since I used the promotion on Angie's List. Moving forward, they will be the first people I call for electrical work."

"I would definitely recommend All Services Electrical. They are very knowledgeable and thorough in their work. Nothing got overlooked! They were very professional and clean. They installed some fans, some light fixtures and fixed sone electrical outlets that were not working properly. I am very happy with the work they did. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would give them more. Excellent job!!"

"We hired Instinct Electric (Alonzo) to install a new 220V line for our Heat Pump Water Heater. He delivered outstanding work at a very fair price. He even made an unscheduled stop after hours to complete the electrical connection after the water heater was installed. Excellent communication throughout the process. Installation (including electrical) passed city inspection first time. Thank you, Alonzo!"

"I recently had an electrician install an EV plug in my garage for my Tesla Model Y, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was the first to contact me and even came out right away to assess the job, which gave me confidence from the start. Others contacted me, but none of them took the time to come and evaluate everything in person. The electrician arrived on time for the installation, explained everything clearly, and made sure the work was done up to code. The job was clean and neatly finished, no messy wires or unnecessary holes. He also tested the outlet with me to confirm proper charging before leaving. My Tesla charges perfectly now, and I have peace of mind knowing it was done safely and correctly. Pricing was fair for the quality of work, and he was very knowledgeable about EV charging requirements. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to add an EV plug at home or any Electrical projects you have."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

Hiring an electrician to install a new ceiling fan may be the best course of action. Installing a ceiling fan requires basic electrical and mechanical knowledge. It also requires holding it up with one hand and in an awkward position, making the installation even more difficult. If you’re uncomfortable with these circumstances, your best bet is to hire a professional.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

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.

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.
