"At 4:00 AM, February 4, 2017, my family was awakened by the fire of my entire circuit box. The light, smell, and crackling of burning circuits from the flames woke me up. I grabbed a fire extinguisher that I reluctantly paid for at Wal-Mart (Kidd brand) for around $50 from the kitchen pantry about 2 months ago, put it out before the drywall caught completely on fire, and had my son call 911 to report the incident. At 7:45 AM I went to Home Advisor and found these guys from Abbeville, called them, and they kept in touch with me by cell phone and showed up within an hour. They replaced the entire circuit box and even came back the following Monday to check and label each breaker to its location. They charged me $1300 total, which was $300 over my insurance company's $1000 deductible, so I won't be filing a claim. I'll fix the drywall myself. They went into the attic to check the wiring and later that same day before dark, we had power again. I highly recommend these guys for electrical service, as it is hard to find a reliable electrician in lower middle Georgia that won't rip you off. The guys are personable, polite, and will even put up with the barking of the two mutt dogs we adopted. They do a jam-up job, and I have FINALLY found electricians I can trust. Believe me, I know. Now to find a plumber who won't rip me off."

"John Sherlock and his wife Corrine called within 1/2 hour of looking for Lightning Rod installers. He was available and was over to talk with us within one hour. He sent all his credentials and licenses and insurance coverages of his business and they came over the next morning and completed the installation extremely fast. He gave a fantastic offer, and lifetime warranty coverage and will even come over and take down system when we replace the roof and place back up at no charge! His wife even saw some plants we had not put in the garden still sitting in containers, and offered and planted them in the spaces we wanted, just to help out. Very friendly, helpful, professional, extremely knowledgeable and even suggested adding Lakeland Electrics Surge Protector protection they provide to go along with the Lightning rods. Yes would have them again on any home anytime."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A pigtail is the only safe way to connect an electrical device to more than one circuit wire. Connecting multiple wires to a single screw terminal is extremely dangerous and must never be done. Many electricians will opt for pigtails even when there are multiple screw terminals available so that the device in question won’t halt the flow of downstream current when a problem arises. 

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

No, not all thermostats require a C-wire. Older manual and programmable thermostats typically do not need one. While many smart thermostats do require a C-wire to function correctly, some models can operate without one, often at the expense of certain features. A C-wire provides a constant source of power, which enables the thermostat to stay connected to Wi-Fi and keep its display screen lit on-demand. If you are upgrading from an older thermostat to a smart model that requires a C-wire, you may need to install one first for it to work as intended.

Hiring a professional electrician to wire a house costs anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 or more depending on the size and complexity of the project. Most professional electricians charge $50 to $100 per hour. While the extra expense is significant, it’s worth it to ensure the safety of your home’s electrical system. 

Yes. Like other trained specialists, electricians need to be licensed in their state of operation, and carry specific kinds of insurance required by that state, which usually includes general liability insurance and surety bonds. When choosing an electrician, always pay attention to these details, and avoid electricians who can’t offer proof. When it comes to wiring, you want experienced, trained pros doing the work.
