"I had requested a quote for installing a home surge protector. Jason arrived on schedule. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, and was very patient in answering all my questions and explaining things to me. Although I had only requested a quote, I asked Jason if he could install the surge protector immediately. He did so, and did an excellent job. I will definitely call Luminous Electric if I need electrical work done in the future."

"Joe, the estimator was also the installer so there was no gap in communications between multiple people with the company and myself. Also the customer service follow up was great. Nikki was very polite and helpful in Energy Today winning the bid for all our electrical needs."

"Bolt Electric is a wonderful, professional, responsive, fair price company! You really couldn’t ask for a better company for electrical work! Called Bolt Electric number and thought I was calling a Clearwater location as I live in Seminole, FL, so I was surprised when I realized the electrician Zack had come from Sarasota, but I am within their service area. Zack said they work in Pinellas County all the time, very normal for them. Bolt Electric was great in all respect of scheduling and electrician was on time. Their pricing was better than the other two companies I requested quotes from and extreme professionalism when they came to my home. Greatly appreciated. Bolt was wonderful in sending electricians who put up with my year-old puppy who thought Zack was his new play toy and was very kind to put up with the puppy, while trying to preform electrical work. Only let puppy drive him crazy for a few minutes, but he was so kind to be so nice about Finn wanting to play with him. I don’t write a lot of reviews, because I don’t want to write something bad about a company. It seems so many want to hurt a company, when not necessary and I don’t write good ones unless company has been truly wonderful! Believe me Bolt Electric of Sarasota is a wonderful company because of their professionalism, expertise and great prices!"

"Had a major malfunction with our pool timer and electrical systems. Josh (lead) and Richard (trainee) were assigned the task. Analysis of the problem was immediate and the reinstallation was completed in a very timely manner. Both techs were personable and highly skilled. Also found out through our conversations that they were both prior military. As a 30-year Navy Chief, I’m was inspired to know that this company not only hires Vets, but you hire competent technical experts. Will certainly spread the word about fair pricing and sending experts to fix my electrical problems. Will hire you folks again!"

"Highly Recommend Shock Doc Electric! We recently had our entire electrical panel replaced by Shock Doc Electric, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, Matt was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood exactly what was being done and why. Matt arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless. The quality of workmanship was top-notch, and you can tell he take real pride in his work. Our new panel looks great, functions perfectly, and gives us so much more confidence in the safety and reliability of our home’s electrical system. It’s rare to find a company this honest, skilled, and respectful of your time and property. If you’re looking for a dependable electrician who delivers exceptional service, look no further than Shock Doc Electric. We will absolutely be calling them for any future electric needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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. 

A full home inspection can cost nearly $350 on average, but inspecting the breaker box specifically is likely to be lower, between $100 and $200. Don’t confuse this service with a basic breaker trip check, which doesn’t take long and is usually billed at $40 to $50 per hour.

If the electrician discovers a serious problem and needs to replace a breaker, it can cost between $100 and $200 in additional expenses. Although rare, replacing the electrical panel typically costs between $500 and $2,000.

A GFCI outlet is a type of electrical outlet that monitors the electricity flowing through the circuit and shuts off power immediately when it detects a loss or acceleration of current. They are particularly important in areas that may come in contact with water, which is why they're most common in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and garages.

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.
