"Blue Wave Electric LLC recently completed the electrical portion of the construction of our new home. Our builder had issues causing his electrician to drop the project with 85% completion! Thus, we had a very difficult time finding another electrician to Complete the project and take over the permits. Rich, the Blue Wave owner, took on the job and greatly exceeded all our expectations. However, from the initial consultation to the final inspection, Rich and team were professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. They clearly explained the work that needed to be done, provided a fair and honest quote, dealt with town compliance, inspections and completed the work on time and with great care. What truly impressed us was their willingness to go above and beyond, ensuring everything was perfect while keeping us informed throughout the entire process. We are extremely satisfied and would confidently recommend Blue Wave Electric LLC to anyone who needs electrical services.""

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

Yes, wire connectors are the better option for securing splices compared to electrical tape. It is not recommended to use electrical tape as it is not secure enough to keep the splices together. Plus, electrical tape is more vulnerable to damage, which can cause a risk of fire over time. 

The best light switch is user dependent. What works for one person might not work for another. Someone looking to ward off burglars may choose to install proximity light switches or anti-vandal switches, while someone who simply wants to find the switch in the bathroom without using a nightlight may prefer an illuminated light switch. Consider the location of your light switch and the features you want to help you decide on the right light switch for your home.

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet.
