"I had a short in an electrical outlet, and needed someone to come and replace all of them in the house. I called tail gunner electric. We realized that I live about an hour and a half away, but he was still willing to come and replace all my plugs the next day. He was very nice, professional. I will use/refer for any electrical work needed from now on."

"Keith was great to work with. Walter Electric added lighting to our older home and replaced the sub-panel all for a fair price. We could not be happier with the quality of work and personnel."

"What a great guy. Oscar was able to get it done the same day and he gave a very good price and did a real nice clean job just as asked. Helped me move a couple of heavy items (I just had shoulder surgery). Now I have a 50 Amp, 240 volt receptacle right where I need it in my garage for my new EV. I will never hesitate to call him in the future and will recommend him to my family and neighbors."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an electrical fire

Unfortunately, a partial power outage without a tripped breaker often means you have a major wiring issue or that the breaker itself is going bad. When the power is out in one room but the breaker is not tripped, you need to call an electrician as soon as possible to identify the cause of the problem and repair it.

You can certainly talk with electricians about pricing, but the pro has the first and last word on what they charge. If you feel like a quote is too expensive, you can discuss the quotes that other electricians have made and see if they’ll lower their estimate in return. Or you may be able to talk about specific parts of the estimate and how they can be changed. 

Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with an LED fixture, but it must be a dimmer that is compatible with LEDs. Check the manufacturer’s information to ensure the dimmer works with LEDs, as not all dimmers are compatible with them. Many smart light switches accept LEDs, but be sure to read the details on the packaging.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.
