We will definitely be using him for future electricity needs and recommend him highly!"

"In the process of selling my home the bathrooms needed to be brought up to code. Alberto was quick and professional and he cleaned up his mess as he installed GFCI plugs in both bathrooms which required him to run wires thru the house down to the electrical panel. He was on time and I could not have had a finer electrician in my home. I highly recommend A&A electrical contractors LLC"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, an AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) outlet also has line and load terminals, although it uses different technology than a GFCI and offers a different kind of protection. AFCIs monitor for internal arc faults, a type of wiring problem that can start an electrical fire.

Electrical fires are unique from other fire types because they have the potential to deliver electric shocks in addition to being on fire. Avoid serious injury from possible electrical emergency situations by avoiding the use of water, foam-based fire extinguishers, wet-chemical fire extinguishers,  flour, or baking powder to put out an electrical fire. 

Soldering is a reliable and durable way to connect wires, but it isn't the only method. Nowadays, professionals often crimp the connection instead—although this requires a higher degree of skill than soldering.

Schedule regular inspections, clean fixtures, and replace worn-out components promptly.

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.
