"I needed to add electrical outlets on the exterior and interior electrical outlets for my home. I called SWFL Electric and they worked with my hectic schedule and were on time, clean and courteous. Great company and the price was less than what I had estimated.

"Absolute AMAZING service! My electricity was out when I arrived home after work at Midnight and the breaker box was hot..I requested quotes online because it is midnight and thought I would have to deal until morning but my phone rang and Jon was willing to come out then because I had no electricity...it ended up being the cable wire attached to my home but he waited 3 hours for LCEC to arrive to make sure my electricity was back on and working!! Talk about Excellent service! I highly recommend this company and will use then for all my electrical needs..Thank you sooooo much!"

"Always On Generator has been outstanding from the initial presentation by William Hawkins, the owner of the company, to the final information session for homeowners. On the day of the final load test and electrical permit inspection, all went perfectly. Dustin, a mechanical engineer and electrician, reviewed the generator operation in great detail. He was professional and very informativeâ  a great teacher. My compliments to him. Hats off to the office staff as well. I particularly want to mention Trishia, office manager. Her skill in juggling the schedules and our multiple requests has been outstanding. She demonstrates a 5-star rating for customer service. It has been a pleasure to work with her during the process from contract to completion. After comparing three companies, we selected Always On for our Generac whole house generator based on the recommendations of our neighbors and the companyâ  s competitive price. If our example is typical, Always On doesnâ  t need to spend money advertising for new customers. Satisfied customers are the best and most reliable form of advertising. Again we are grateful that we chose William Hawkins and Always On. Their work and customer service philosophy are so excellent that we remain their customer through their Deluxe service package. We highly recommend the company." Bob Grabowski"

"Professional and courteous, Cody explained the process necessary to complete our requested project. Ultimately, we decided not to pursue the project based on the information he gave us, as it would have been more involved than we anticipated. He made some further recommendations for our home, which he completed in a timely manner on the spot. He was great at educating us on our own systems. We were very pleased with our outcomes and would highly recommend C. Hunter Electrical without reservation."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, electricians must be licensed, certified, and in most cases, insured. Licensing requirements vary by state and local municipality, but most U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. It's always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. Even if licensing is not required in your area, hiring a licensed and experienced electrician often leads to a better end result.

A license is a legal requirement to operate a business and is necessary for pulling project permits. Certifications, on the other hand, are typically voluntary and demonstrate a certain level of expertise. In some cases, a certified electrician may send an apprentice or journeyman to perform the work, but they must operate under a primary electrician who holds the proper license.

Before hiring, you should verify the electrician's license, insurance coverage, and any third-party certifications. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm a pro's license status. Additionally, businesses with the “Angi Approved” badge on our platform meet strict criteria, including having the required state and local licenses, passing a background check, and maintaining a high average rating.

A weatherhead, the meter base, the breaker box, and a meter panel are all vital components of a working meter riser. If one part of the system is faulty, it could damage other parts, so consider having an electrician inspect the entire unit. The cost to replace the meter panel alone may cost $500 to $1,000, so consider this in your budget for replacing the meter riser.

If a 240V appliance is connected to a 120V outlet, the lower voltage will cause that appliance to receive insufficient power. This may result in reduced performance, malfunctions, or even damage to the appliance's components. Depending on the size of your electrical circuit, you’ll likely need to reset a tripped circuit breaker at the very least.

Yes, you can get shocked while using a multimeter if:

  • You touch the metal tip while testing a live current.

  • The meter isn’t properly rated for the voltage.

  • The meter picks up on transient voltage that’s above the range you’ve set.

  • The meter has defective parts.

You can prevent shock and personal injury by using a multimeter properly and maintaining your device. 

If you’re unsure how to use a multimeter or want help with your project, contact a local electrician to get the job done.

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.
