"Great experience. They offered a perfect early morning appt (7 am), electrician was prompt, explained everything clearly, including charges, went and retrieved parts which he didn't have on the truck--the whole thing was exceedingly smooth and I would definitely use again. Would absolutely recommend."

"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."

"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"

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.

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.

You should never plug a normal 120v appliance into a special 240v outlet, as it can quickly burn out the appliance. This will cause irreparable damage to the appliance and, in worse case scenarios, cause damage to your circuit breaker. Check your appliance’s rating before plugging it into a 220v outlet to avoid electrical disaster.

The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
