"Contacted Current Electric on the recommendation of a friend who had utilized their service and was pleased with the end result. Did not check prices with other companies, so not sure how reasonable the rate was. The circuit and 2 outlets installed in the soffet on the back of home was $589 for comparison. Technician came out on a holiday to provide estimate. Was quick and thorough. Received phone call to schedule service date within ~30 minutes. Technician arrived on time the day of install and performed work very quickly. Entire experience was quick, professional, and friendly. Price matched provided estimate."

"This was a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done. When I called on a Saturday my call was answered promptly and Cory was able to arrange to come over the same day to give a quote. He was very friendly, professional, and courteous. He was also able to complete the job within one day which was super helpful to us. I was initially very nervous about picking a random electrician from an online search but ended up being very happy we picked Ultra Electric Inc. If we have additional projects we will definitely use them again."

"I was so impressed with this company. Their electricians actually knew what they were doing. I had a different company come for a service call, and they had not a clue what to do with my electrical box. The switches were even labeled. I will only use Red Fox for any electrical issues in the future."

"Excellent customer service. Responded to my request for electric assistance within one hour of posting on Home Advisor, was able to do the work the following day, contacted me on the day the work was to be done to let me know he could come early. Prompt, efficient, great work."

"What a terrific experience we had with Mighty Bee Electric! Martin came the next day after we called. He was on time, clearly knows what he is doing and fixed everything for the estimated cost. And there was no upselling! I will definitely call him for any future electric work!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If there isn’t a C-wire on your thermostat, you can repurpose the G-wire. The G-wire controls the fan independently of the other controls on your thermostat, so the fan-only function won’t work if you decide to go this route.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.

A home warranty usually covers electrical wiring work, depending on your specific plan. Most home warranty plans cover repairs for major appliances and home systems, including failure due to wear and tear. Home warranties aren’t as common as homeowners insurance, but they are more likely to cover old wiring.

While circuit breakers are designed to be reset after tripping, there isn't a strict countdown to when they will fail. The primary danger lies in a breaker tripping multiple times in a short period without allowing the components to cool down. Theoretically, a standard breaker might handle around 50 trips caused by simple overloading. However, this number can be much lower in practice. For instance, a high-current fault could damage a breaker to the point that it needs replacement after only two resets. Repeatedly resetting a breaker that trips frequently exacerbates the underlying problem by causing the electrical components, wires, and the breaker itself to overheat. This can lead to permanent damage, cause the breaker to trip unnecessarily in the future, and increase the risk of an electrical fire. If a breaker trips every few minutes, you should leave it in the 'off' position and call a qualified electrician for an inspection.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.
