"Very highly recommend Triple J Electric- John and his team expedited an urgent electrical issue in our older home and completed our panel upgrade/wiring in an extremely timely manner in order to restore power. Prices were very reasonable compared to quotes from other electric companies and John and team were polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. So glad we called Triple J Electric and will absolutely use them for any future electric needs!"

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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

This depends on how many outlets you have and the current status of your electrical system. The cost to ground an outlet clocks in at $75 to $480 per outlet, so multiply that by the number of outlets in your home to arrive at a rough estimate. However, this is for simple projects with no obvious issues with the system. Your final bill could vary widely from your calculations.

Electrical fixes are best handled by a licensed electrician, but it’s possible to release a wire connection on your own. Be sure to always turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker before beginning your project to avoid electric shock. Carefully insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the rectangular hole beneath the wire. Hold the outlet in the palm of your other hand. Pull out the wire as you apply pressure with the screwdriver.

You can verify an electrician’s license with your local licensing department and request proof of liability insurance from your electrician. You may also want to seek out online reviews for first-hand testimonials.

No, you should always use proper electrical wire caps to safely cap off electrical wires. Electrical tape isn’t as durable as electrical caps and can deteriorate and separate over time, exposing the live wires. The only way to use electrical tape for this project is to wrap it around the caps themselves to reinforce them and create an even stronger connection, preventing an electrical emergency.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.
