"Great experience with AJC electric, they did a superb job. We are so happy with the work that they did; they showed up on-time, took their time to answer all of our questions. It is refreshing to find someone that really puts the customer first, they take pride in the work that they do, are honest and reliable. They installed recessed lighting in our living room & kitchen, under cabinet lighting, pendant lights and dimmer switches. Thank you Adam & James!!"

"We requested a quote for electrical outlet work on Sunday and received a response via email by Cory on Sunday evening. Scheduled them to come out Monday morning and Chris came out on time and got our dryer up and running within 15 minutes. We had just moved to this home over the weekend and Ultra saved us and they were very reasonable in pricing. We highly recommend this company to perform all your electrical needs."

"They came in and updated our fuse box, replaced to lights, changed out some outlets, and installed a microwave over our oven. Quite a bit of work at a reasonable price and basically clean about the whole thing. Good communication about the amount of time it would all take and the amount was fair."

"We needed more power and Zach worked with CORE to get our new transformer installed. Great communication; very responsive. High quality work and attention to detail. He went over and above with our upgrade and install of hot tub. He even showed me how to operate the new hot tub! He is now my go-to guy for any electrical needs in the future! It doesn't get any better than this."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The National Electric Code states that outlets should not be spaced more than 12 feet apart, and there should be an outlet placed every 6 feet at the floor line in areas designated as living spaces. Most homes in the United States have 75 outlets, but it will depend on the amount you need based on your home's size and your needs.

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.

The NEC prohibits the installation of electrical panels within clothing closets. Closets are filled with flammable items like clothing, mothballs, shoe polish, plastic containers, and exposed light bulbs. If the panel develops a small electrical fire, it won’t take long to bloom into a real disaster. If you have an electrical panel in one of your home’s closets, move it as soon as possible with the help of a professional electrician.

Yes, electricians must be licensed, certified, and in most cases, insured. Licensing requirements vary by state and local municipality, but most U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. It's always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. Even if licensing is not required in your area, hiring a licensed and experienced electrician often leads to a better end result.

A license is a legal requirement to operate a business and is necessary for pulling project permits. Certifications, on the other hand, are typically voluntary and demonstrate a certain level of expertise. In some cases, a certified electrician may send an apprentice or journeyman to perform the work, but they must operate under a primary electrician who holds the proper license.

Before hiring, you should verify the electrician's license, insurance coverage, and any third-party certifications. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm a pro's license status. Additionally, businesses with the “Angi Approved” badge on our platform meet strict criteria, including having the required state and local licenses, passing a background check, and maintaining a high average rating.
