"JK Flores LLC sent Jorge and an associate to install a Big Ass fan and to service another Big Ass fan that had been giving us trouble for over a year (others had tried to fix it before). Jorge was on time and sensitive and attentive to our thoughts and concerns. He was quick at his work but was clean and never gave us any concern that he would sacrifice speed over quality of his work. We are already looking for other electrical issues in our house for Jorge to attend. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical help."

"I am thinking of getting a countertop oven. The manuals say you need to make sure that the outlet you plan to use can handle 1800W. I emailed Fairway Electric with a photo of the outlet. I got a call back very quickly and Tommy came out by 12:30 pm same day — in fact within two hours of my email. Our house is old, and fortunately Paul had redone our outlet box a number of years ago. Because it this, we already had 20 amp circuits. Tommy and I determined that the outlet could handle the load. Electricity is nothing to mess with, and I am grateful that Paul and his crew are always available to help. The cost was well worth the peace of mind I received."

"I hired Ken Johnson (Johnson Electric) to correct a number of electrical problems which were identified in a pre-sale home inspection. Among these was a replacement of an unsafe old circuit panel, all new power outlets, conduits and receptacles. Ken provided a quote which was very reasonable. Actual work was performed by two technicians. They arrived on time, completed the job the same day, and left the site in pristine conditioner. We were very satisfied with their work and based on my experience I am happy to recommend Johnson Electric for quality electrical projects in your residence."

"Excellent! Haik and his crew had the unfortunate task of correcting an illegal job done by another electrician. Haik and his crew immediately came to work on our condo. They were courteous, punctual, and very professional. The work was inspected, as required by law, with no citations. As a last minute request, they also upgraded 3 of our outlets and replaced a light switch without changing the amount to our original contract. Their quote was competitive and I felt good working with an honest company. What Haik said they would do was promptly, efficiently, and correctly accomplished. A definite gold star and will not hesitate in calling him if any electrical work needs to be done."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

You can verify an electrician’s license with your local licensing department and request proof of liability insurance from your electrician. You may also want to seek out online reviews for first-hand testimonials.

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.

When combined with a substantial solar system, if you have enough Powerwalls, you could go off-grid and be energy independent. But remember, you'd need enough Powerwalls to power your whole home continuously because a single Powerwall can’t power large appliances for extended periods. One Powerwall is able to power an average-sized home's emergency circuits, lights, and outlets. To power large appliances, you likely need two or three Powerwalls.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.
