"Devin Dotson, the owner, spent the day at my home installing a new 200 amp electrical panel. I was very impressed with the quality of his work. He did a great job. He was thorough, marked every new fuse and labeled what each one was connected to. Then he tested everything in the house to ensure it was working properly. I couldn't be happier with Current Electric and highly recommend them."

"I selected Epic out of several estimates to install a ChargePoint EV charger. One reason was that they are a small business, which we like to support. Yurii stayed in touch by email right up to the day of the job. He showed up at precisely the time promised and he and his partner Daniel got right to work. Some breakers in the panel had to be changed to accommodate another 240 50 amp and conduit had to be run to where the charger was to be located. They were fast and professional in their work and completed the job in about 2 1/2 hours. Everything works perfectly. And the cost was very reasonable. I am so pleased that I chose them to do the work and recommend them to anyone who is looking for an electrician."

"Sebastian is the best, he came out for a quote, very punctual, professional and asked us alot of questions about what we needed/wanted, he's very knowledgeable so gave us options. He came back with his helper and they installed a new electrical panel & a sub-panel that we requested. Only took one day, great communication, professional, best quote we got at $ 6000.00 Would definitely recommend."

"I'm so glad we went with JM Electric to replace/upgrade our electrical panel. They were fast, efficient, professional, courteous, and above all gave great advice. They even installed my husband's new garage heater after installing the designated electrical wire for it. I have no clue as to what or where the wires go beyond the outlets themselves. I just mentioned what we needed, Josh and Zach explained everything prior and handled everything on installation day. Definitely will be hiring them again if we ever need more electrical work. Thanks again JM Electric! (Josh and Zach)"

"We are so pleased with the installation of the panel and the with the fact that Ron pointed out the other issues we had and corrected those things too. Both Ron and Billy were professional and personable. We are happy with all of the work that they did, the explanation of what we needed and why, the clean up and how conscientious they were with our dogs. We will call MighyBee for all of our electrical needs in the future and will definatly recommend them to our friends."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

On average, it takes from four to eight hours to replace an outside electrical meter box, not including rewiring. It will take a few more hours if the project requires pros to do any rewiring work. Consult your local electrician about a time estimate for your specific project.

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches, often due to loose connections, exposed wiring, or overheating, can cause sparking or arcing. If you hear a crackling, popping, or hissing sound when you use the switch, it indicates live electricity arcing inside, which is a significant hazard that can ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, turn off the power to that circuit at the breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

The cost to install or replace a circuit breaker depends on the price of the unit itself and the complexity of the installation. A new circuit breaker typically costs between $10 and $100, with standard breakers being the most affordable and GFCI or AFCI types costing more. If you are upgrading to a higher amperage, a 200-amp circuit breaker can cost between $250 and $350. The average total cost for professional installation is around $700, but this price varies. A simple replacement into existing wiring will cost less than a more complex project that requires opening walls, running new wires, and securing permits.

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.
