"MJ Electric came out and installed a new exterior outlet on my home. They provided a bid over the phone with fair pricing and completed the work in 2 days. I was looking for a short turn around on the project and they fulfilled my request. The work was complete, clean, and an overall great product. I will use MJ Electric for future projects and highly recommend them for yours. Staff was friendly and explained everything in detail."

"Robert Soto from Blue Bolt Electric removed my old hanging lights over my kitchen bar and replaced with new hanging lights! Robert is very professional, prompt, and did an excellent job. I am very satisfied with the job he did. He also replaced my bathroom heater fan which will be completed after Wednesday when it will get patched up around the fan since it was smaller than my ancient old one that was beyond repair."

"I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. They arrived on time, were incredibly professional, and took the time to fully explain the job before getting started. The quality of their work was top-notch!! They not only fixed the issues I was dealing with but also made several helpful recommendations to improve the overall electrical setup in my home. They worked efficiently, kept the work area clean, and ensured that everything was tested and functioning perfectly before they left. On top of that, their pricing was fair and transparent with no hidden fees. It's rare to find such reliable and skilled service these days, and I would absolutely recommend That's Right Electric to anyone in need of electrical work. I'll definitely be calling them for any future projects!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.

The National Fire Protection Association reports that almost half of reported electrical fires are caused by electrical distribution and lighting equipment. The main culprit behind these fires is often frayed, worn, or faulty wiring, particularly in closed-off and concealed areas like attics, where fires can start and burn undetected for long periods.

Labor, materials, job complexity, and urgency affect costs for switches and outlets; expect from $150 for simple sets to $600+ for significant upgrades.

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.
