"As a Building & General Contractor myself Newgrange electric is one of my best electrical sub contractors. Eddie the owner is very hard working. Always reliable, extremely professional and maintains an office manager Nicole who knows what's going on, on all their projects so you always have someone to contact during business hours. Eddies crew is based of long time employees that are very knowledgeable in there work. Eddie will always get back to you even after business hours, which is not the norm for many vendors. We need more contractors like this. Joe Algeri, Orchard Builders & Construction & Skyline Plumbing & Heating."

"Excellent service and excellent communication. They made it clear what they needed and the time it would take and it was spot on. In addition, Robert and his team were friendly and took that extra step to make it a worthwhile relationship. We would recommend R. Piro Electric to everyone we know."

"I had two security lights installed with motion sensors along with two GFI outlets. This work was performed by Kyle and Kyle. They both arrived on time. They performed their work in a professional, neat and customer focused manner. They cleaned up properly. Very efficient. This is the second time I used them and will continue to do so as the need arises for all my electrical needs. Iâ m glad I reached out to Cale in the beginning."

"The experience I had with Antonio and his men were nothing but spectacular and world class… Antonio came personally to my home to scope out the project, suggested what I needed, and his men delivered they were professional. They were courteous. They cleaned up after themselves, and they were very cautious in respecting my home even to the point where they put drop cloths down on the floor because it was raining outside….. This ladies and gentlemen is how you want to be treated as a customer with the utmost respect, courtesy, fairness, and knowledge of the job!! thank you Antonio and the two gentlemen who came and did the electrical work from my house House you guys were amazing… if I ever need anything else from my home as far as electrical, you guys will be the first person I call.. I wish I could’ve gave them 10 stars… thanks fellas all the best.. Dino"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Replacing your electrical meter box is critical because it helps prevent damage to your home’s electrical system or possible safety hazards. Plus, you won’t have to deal with frequent power tripping, flickering lights, or the scorched scents that an old or damaged meter box may cause.

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.

Your outlet should be a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These outlets will cut power off in the case of an electrical fire, keeping your home and family safe. Extension cords can also be GFCIs. A local electrician can replace older outlets with GFCIs, if necessary.

Unless you have prior electrical experience, it’s best to hire a professional to install your new thermostat for you. Improper installation can damage wiring, lead to a blown fuse, and more.

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.
