"Daniel was extremely responsive, positive from hearing description of my electric problem, offered same day assessment. Once he diagnosed the problem and described plan of treatment, I was able to relax. Daniel immediately searched for replacement materials and committed to fixing the next day. The new ceiling lights installed with damaged wiring replaced, and job done as promised. Text communication, receiving invoice by email, all made this a positive experience. Thank you for excellent, professional service! I highly recommend ultimate electric for any electrical services!"

"The response from Top Electrical Systems to my query was fast and I was able to set an appointment quickly. The service was very professional and Tevita Duituturaga explained what he was doing at every step. I had two outdoor light fixtures and 4 smoke alarms installed and the price was very fair. I will use Top Electrical Systems again, and I highly recommend them."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You should hire a licensed electrician who is insured to perform any electrical work on your home, including lighting installation. States have different requirements for licensing and certifying electricians, so use Angi’s state licensing tool to review local guidelines.

Here are a few questions to ask electricians before hiring:

  • How many years of electrical experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you work with subcontractors?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three customer references?

Many wire nuts can accommodate three wires of various gauges; you should check the packaging of the nut to confirm you are buying the correct size. In addition, there are screw terminals that accommodate various numbers of wires; these might also be called “terminal blocks,” and exist to connect multiple wires. 

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.

In addition to grounding your outlets, you may want to hire an electrician for the following:

These additional electrical services ensure that your home’s electrical system is in working order and will accommodate your ground outlets.
