"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

Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with an LED fixture, but it must be a dimmer that is compatible with LEDs. Check the manufacturer’s information to ensure the dimmer works with LEDs, as not all dimmers are compatible with them. Many smart light switches accept LEDs, but be sure to read the details on the packaging.

At a minimum, you need an electrician to inspect the house wiring after a fire. The electrician will need to replace damaged or melted wires. If the electrical wiring is old, about 25 years or more, you should rewire the house after a fire. Old wiring can increase the risk of another fire, so replacing the wires is the safest option.

The National Fire Protection Association reports that almost half of reported electrical fires are caused by electrical distribution and lighting equipment. The main culprit behind these fires is often frayed, worn, or faulty wiring, particularly in closed-off and concealed areas like attics, where fires can start and burn undetected for long periods.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.
