"John the owner and operator did a fantastic job. Very efficient and knowledgeable as a master electrician. Very through and thoughtful. He rewired my whole house after a flood and was willing to do a little extra for additional work I wanted done like Jacuzzi and back up generator. His prices are fair and puts the customer first. He also listened to me in a time of stress and was very encouraging. I didn't know anyone in the community and we befriend him. I would highly recommend him. My family loves him and I couldn't have chosen a better bperson for the job. We appreciate him so much. Thanks John"

"If you?re looking for an electrician, I can?t recommend him highly enough! As the owner of an investment property, it was very important to me to hire someone who is fully licensed and insured, and he checked every box. He was professional, punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and had such a friendly personality that he was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to answer all of our questions, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure we understood our options without ever making us feel pressured. He helped us complete several small electrical projects that we really needed finished before our twin girls arrive in just a few short weeks, and the quality of his work was outstanding. It?s clear he has a wealth of experience and takes great pride in what he does. One detail that really impressed me was how respectful he was of our home?he even brought his own vacuum and cleaned up thoroughly before he left. We will definitely be using him again and recommend him to friends."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re a licensed electrician, you should not DIY any electrical work in your home. Working with wires and electricity is potentially dangerous to both you and the structure you’re working on, and it could lead to house fires or electric shock if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing. There’s a big difference between changing a light switch cover and rewiring an entire home. If you’re staring down a potentially difficult electrical job, give a pro a call.

If you connect the wrong electrical wires together, it can lead to a very dangerous electrical shock. All wires should be matched with wires of the same color. It’s very important to consult an electrician if you’re unsure about how to wire your fixture.

In addition to grounding your outlets, you may want to hire an electrician for the following:

These additional electrical services ensure that your home’s electrical system is in working order and will accommodate your ground outlets.

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.

No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.
