"Mr. Klaus arrived at my house within 2 hours of calling. He made me aware of everything he had to check out and the possibilities of what could be wrong. Within a very short amount of time he was letting me know what he found and what he would have to do to fix the problem. He gave me different options and recommended the best solution to me. By the end of the day my kids had electricity back in their bedrooms and it did not cost me anywhere near what most other companies quoted me to even come and diagnose the issue. I recommend Resolute Electric to everyone out there reading this! Absolutely the most knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt company I have had to deal with in any of my home repairs."

"Brandon Flemings was great to deal with during the work he performed for me. He and his assistant were very professional and thorough with explaining the work they performed. They arrived at my house at the time they said they would come and their estimate for doing the job was reasonable and accurate. I definitely will hire them for my future electrical work."

Customers say: True professional

"We are new to the area and after calling several electric companies settled on Crest Electric to do work in our home. From the first phone call and through our subsequent interactions, Dale the owner was professional. He showed up on time, was prepared to handle situations outside of the work we discussed over the phone and he gave us expert services. He was respectful. His work was neat and exceeded our expectations. He cleaned up after he completed the work. We are relieved because we have Crest Electric, a reliable electric company to call on. We highly recommend Crest Electric."

"It was a pleasure to work with Zack at ZB Electrical for the electrical connection of our hot tub. He was very thorough and professional. He came to our house to provide an estimate, and he verified the proposed installation with the inspector prior to performing the work. He completed the work on time and in-line with the estimate. There were no surprises. The hot tub works fine. We would definitely recommend ZB Electrical."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If wiring in a relatively modern home is damaged due to sudden events like a fire, a tree falling into the house, or a flood, then homeowners insurance is very likely to cover the cost of replacing the wire.

However, if it’s determined that wiring failed or started the fire because of age, neglect, or not meeting current electrical standards, then insurance won’t be covering any replacement. Also, insurance policies may charge more for particularly old kinds of wiring like aluminum wiring or deny applications altogether. 

A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm’s length of the entryway.

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.

If the electrical wires you’re working with are too short, one of the easiest ways to elongate it is to extend them with a push-in connector. These user-friendly tools help you splice two wires together with little fuss or the need for extra tools, like a crimping tool, which is an older way of extending wires. As long as you can stripe the ends of a wire, using a push-in connector shouldn’t be an issue.

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.
