"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."

"The workman was definitely worthy of his hire. This gentleman not only solved my problem but advised me on how not to make it worse before he could arrive to fix it. Very fast service, very professional, was willing to teach me How to do it as he fixed the problem. Had very friendly conversation and exact knowledge on the job at hand. Felt like I was in a hands on electrical workshop at my own home. It inspired me to learn electrical handling. I’d call Jehi services again and again and also HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services to family and friends."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

If you connect the wrong electrical wires together, it can lead to a very dangerous electrical shock. All wires should be matched with wires of the same color. It’s very important to consult an electrician if you’re unsure about how to wire your fixture.

Unfortunately, yes, a wall outlet can just go bad. You could’ve purchased a faulty outlet, had it improperly installed, or just blown a fuse in your home. Regardless of what caused the issue, it’s important for you to hire the right professional for this job so they can get it done right the first time.
