"Ted and Robert arrived, got right t to it and within a few hours we had 2 ceiling fans installed, one which had no existing light so it was a more involved project. They were professional and stuck to their original quote! To say we are impressed is an understatement. We strongly recommend using Connole Electric."

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.

Yes, you can splice electrical wires together to make them longer. If you follow the proper safety protocols and match the correct colors, you can save yourself from getting a brand-new circuit and add length to your wires to get them where they need to go.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

You can tell if a breaker is GFCI by looking for a red or yellow test and reset button that you can press in and out. You’ll know if an outlet is GFCI if the red reset button is located in between the two pronged sections.

Installing a circuit breaker is best handled by a local professional electrician. This project requires following strict electrical codes, and might even involve permits. Not only can electrical work be dangerous, but without the proper training that a pro will have, you could cause further damage to your home’s electrical system.
