"We have had Nick from Destiny Electric over for electrical work multiple times in the past few years, to include a couple of minor issues (GFCI outlet failure), as well as adding electrical boxes/switches on a DIY bathroom model we did. Most recently (03/2020), Nick came out and installed new breakers and ran new wire to an electric tankless water heater we were installing while a plumbing company was re-piping our house. Nick was prompt, professional, courteous and stayed until just before 6:00 PM on a Friday to make sure it was ready for the plumbers the following Monday. The water heater works flawlessly, and Nick again did a very clean and thorough job with the intstall."

"All I can say is WOW! Brandon is something else, his quality, attention to detail and knowledge is the best I have seen. I have had numerous electricians over the years to assist in various things and I have never had someone like Brandon. The guy knows exactly what he is doing and takes pride in his work. PRIDE in his work something you just don't see anymore. Brandon had to help me in my new home fix all the things that the original electricians messed up. Brandon also assisted me in my old home getting everything up to regulation and making sure everything was not only safe but looked good. Pricing is more than reasonable considering the quality of work you are getting. Brandon is in no rush to just complete the job to run to the next one. Brandon is efficient and gets the job done quickly but he does not rush or short change you. If anything he works with you to make sure you are getting the most value. I will be using Brandon in the future to install an electric vehicle charger and a whole house generator. This guy isn't just capable of small jobs he can DO IT ALL. Thanks again Brandon, I really can't say enough good things about the quality of your work and the great person you are."

"Ed Riley is extremely knowledgeable about what causes lighting and how to protect from it. He explained to me which and how structures develop static electricity that lead to lighting discharges in a way that the physics made sense to me. They were also reasonably priced and kept their word. Definitely recommend them."

"From estimate to start up of generator, the GenereX team was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and performed quality workmanship. GenereX did it all as advertised. I would like to commend individuals for a job well done: Jack (estimate & followup); Dustin and crew (installation); Ryan and Danny (electrical); Cosmo (natural gas); Matt (startup). Due to my experience, I would definitely recommend GenereX!"

"Simply Impressed! The electrician that came out to my home went the extra mile to meet our needs. We had a difficult panel addition to our garage with a couple of curve balls thrown at us. The electrician stayed at our home for 10 hours to complete a tough job. He was courteous and authentic in his recommendations. The price didn't change as he discovered unforeseen challenges. Its hard to find good contractors. I think we found a great one. Our family will be using Arnett for all my Electrical, AC and Plumbing needs as long as I live in St. Johns."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes. Even when it’s not in use, an outlet is still connected to wiring, and if the wiring is faulty or wet, a fire can occur. Broken outlets can also cause fires, for the same reasons; in fact, most broken outlets are broken due to damaged or worn-out wiring. It’s worth replacing outlets that are old or damaged with the help of an electrician.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.
