"I hired Brett, the owner of Bright Electrical Solutions, to address an issue with a breaker that kept tripping. He replaced the breaker and also replaced one of the outlets with a GFCI reset outlet. Brett was professional from beginning to end. He was punctual and took the time to clearly explain to my husband and me what he replaced and why. Because of the excellent service we received, I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends if they ever need an electrician. We now have an electrician we trust, and I will be seeing him again in two to three weeks to replace our ceiling fans.. Andrea E."

"Had two EV charging stations installed at my home in Middletown and I’m very happy with the work. Everything came out super clean and professional. He explained the entire process clearly and walked me through everything step by step. I got a few prices before hiring him and he was also the most affordable. Great work, great communication and fair pricing. I would definitely recommend Elite Electric Solutions. Definitely getting him back in for some recessed lighting and routing some wires for my audio and camera system. Jorge is definitely my electric from now on!"

"William, the owner, his son, as well as another other gentleman and lady on their crew were super courteous and professional from the moment they pulled up to our home! They answered all of our questions and did a superb installation! We have been struck by lightning twice in five weeks and suffered close $15,000 in damages. We simply cannot continue to change our tv’s, a/v equipment and any other electrical component everytime we have a severe thunderstorm-which has been every afternoon for what seems like months. We spoke with other neighbors who’ve already installed lightning rods and none of them have had any other property damage. WB even sunk a third ground rod in because our Lanai screen enclosure had never been grounded. Awesome job, really nice people and hopefully this will do the trick. Bernard B"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can daisy chain outlets, which involves connecting multiple outlets in series. However, ensuring the circuit can handle the additional load is important to avoid overloading and tripping the breaker. The total number of outlets on a single circuit should not exceed the recommended limit, typically eight on a 15-amp circuit. Hiring a licensed electrician is always advisable for complex installations or if you're unsure of what to do.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

Provided you leave the switch in the off position, your broken bulb shouldn’t be drawing any power. However, there’s always the risk that the switch is turned on by accident, potentially causing electrical damage or even a fire. Plus, broken glass in the home is never ideal. For safety, it’s a good idea to remove broken bulbs as soon as possible. If you’re in doubt, a local lighting professional can help you remove the bulb safely and quickly.

Flickering lights, warm outlets, or tripped circuits needing immediate attention mean systems likely risk hazard scare.

The main types are 15-amp 120-volt outlets (2-prong and 3-prong), 20-amp 125-volt outlets, and 240-volt outlets for large appliances. Safety types include GFCI, AFCI, tamper-resistant, and weather-resistant outlets. Convenience types include switched, combination, USB, smart, and rotating outlets.
