"My husband with Alzheimer’s can usually change a light switch but while doing the one in the bathroom couldn’t get it. I put an urgent message on Angie’s list and Terry from Zap electric gave me a call in a few minutes. He came and fixed the switch in 20 minutes. He was knowledgeable and so nice. He gave us a senior discount. A bathroom light is a must and he saved me that day. Please call him of you need any electrical!"

"I had an excellent experience with Austin — he called me within 10 minutes of submitting my request on Angi’s List. He arrived at my home within half an hour and got straight to work converting an old cable outlet into a new electrical outlet in my living room. The job was done quickly, cleanly, and exactly as requested. I also asked him to rewire my current outlet so it wouldn’t be controlled by a wall switch, and he handled that with no problem. He was prompt, professional, friendly, and genuinely happy to help — highly recommend!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

No, not all thermostats require a C-wire. Older manual and programmable thermostats typically do not need one. While many smart thermostats do require a C-wire to function correctly, some models can operate without one, often at the expense of certain features. A C-wire provides a constant source of power, which enables the thermostat to stay connected to Wi-Fi and keep its display screen lit on-demand. If you are upgrading from an older thermostat to a smart model that requires a C-wire, you may need to install one first for it to work as intended.

Electric fences use very little energy and shouldn’t cause any surprises on your next energy bill; You may only notice an extra couple of dollars on the bill. While electric fences don’t consume much energy, they still need it. If you have a power outage after a storm, your electric fence will likely stop working.

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.
