"My husband and I highly recommend Jeremy. We had power issues and Jeremy walked us through everything that was going on. He went over the pricing and stuck to it. He is quick to respond to communication. We are very happy with the work he and Austin did to correct and upgrade our electric service. We will definitely be using him for future electricity needs and recommend him highly!"

"This was by far the best contractor experience I’ve had in many years. Rob is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He was able to work within my budget and kept me informed during every stage of the process. My generator was ordered and installed in only one week, which was also very impressive. I would highly recommend Buckley & Son Electrical Contractors."

"Very professional and extremely friendly contractor. Alberto and his apprentice Chandler arrived on time and after introductions started their work. Panel upgrade with breaker and wiring installation was performed efficiently with only necessary disruption to home electrical service. Testing completed and panel breaker labeling done from old panel door. Cleanup was thorough and appreciated. I enjoyed the conversation we had during and after the job including my own DIY electrical experience. If I was going to sum my experience with A & A Electrical Contractors LLC, it would be that it is a great model for professionalism and consumer oriented business. I was given more options than other contractors. Reasonable contract pricing. Highly recommended and definitely a return customer for any future electrical needs requiring experienced professionals."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, the majority of appliances that run at 240v will work with a 220v outlet, but will often run slower and may have a slight delay in turning on. This could also cause long term damage to the appliance being used, so it’s recommended to always use the correct voltage for your appliance and upgrade to a 240v outlet if needed.

A bigger breaker alone probably won’t fix your problem of frequent tripping. But if you upgrade an electrical circuit to a higher amp rating, or upgrade your breaker box to handle more amps, it could solve your tripping problems. Consult a qualified electrician about the best course of action.

Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home’s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

Daisy-chaining refers to placing multiple GFCI outlets in a row along the same circuit. This won’t do any harm, but it’s of limited usefulness because a properly-placed GFCI can monitor all downstream outlets on its own. Multiple GFCI installations won’t usually increase safety except in special cases.
