"Absolutely amazing !!! They have fixed a long standing electrical issue with my 100 year old farmhouse. I highly recommend them for any of your electrical needs. Very friendly and quick. The job was talked about Thursday and they came at 7am and had it completed by 9:30 am. Years and years of hearing that my industrial mechanic husband was not an “electrician” and I found my own electrician. Thank you so much Sergio !!! It works amazing !!!"

"Outstanding experience with Fox Electric! Toby was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain all of my options for a main panel upgrade. He provided several solutions at different price points, allowing me to choose what worked best for my needs and budget. The quality of work was excellent, communication was great, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. It's clear that Toby takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. I highly recommend Fox Electric to anyone in need of electrical services and will absolutely be calling them again for future projects."

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Call your utility company immediately. Do not go outside, even in your own yard, and keep pets indoors. Downed power lines pose a serious electrocution hazard. They can also cause large power surges that could damage your appliances, so it’s a good idea to shut down power to your home if possible. If your breakers trip, leave them off until the utility company finishes its repair work.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.

If you strictly adhere to electrical safety rules, including assuming that a circuit is hot until proven otherwise, and have some knowledge of how an electrical circuit works, you can likely replace a light switch by yourself without too much trouble. However, it's always advisable to call a nearby electrical pro to do the job if you're unsure of any steps necessary to change a light switch. 

No. Do not use a 14-gauge wire on a 20-amp outlet. A certified licensed electrician would know that the National Electrical Code (as per Section 240.4(D) subsection 3) requires 14-gauge wires to be used with a maximum amplitude of 15. Therefore, you should only use 12-gauge wires on 20-amp outlets.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.
