Customers say: Quality work

"It was pricey. They did offer to inspect the entire homes electrical system at no additional cost but I would rather have paid less for what I wanted done. That said, the technician was great. Knowledgeable, thorough and even arrived early."

"Jesse is a very pleasant young man, fully trained and capable of any electric repair or installation. He came on time, did his work quickly and cleaned up after himself. I am very satisfied and will call "Down the Road Electric" again when the need arises. Rick Ruppert, retired Accountant and homeowner."

"While remodeling a room in our basement, we decided to add more lighting to the room. Matt was able to help rewire and add recessed lighting to our now usable room. He was spot on with his estimates and explained everything he was doing. The best part was that it was completed quickly and left the space spotless!"

"Dewayne responded quickly to our need for an electrician. He provided an estimate, which we approved and got to work installing an electric car charging station. He is knowledgeable and personable and made sure to clean-up after he was done. We recommend Onley 1 Electric and plan to use him again as the need arises. Superb work!"

"Had estimate done by ?Wire One? first and it was a pressure/upsell attempt nightmare. Price quoted was an incredible attempt at gouging a retired couple?will never allow them in my home again. Contacted Donovan Electric, work was done within two days at an exceptionally reasonable price. No non-sense, no gouging, just simple professional work done by decent people. Do yourself a favor, hire these guys, not some big corporate entity that?s out to take you to the cleaners."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You should never wire neutral and ground wires together at a light switch. Not only is it unsafe, but it’s also incorrect. The neutral and ground wires perform separate functions in an electrical circuit and should never be swapped or wired together at a light switch, light, or outlet. 

If you have a lamp that flickers or doesn’t stay on, it’s a sign that it’s time to rewire it. Additionally, it’s important to rewire antique lamps so they’re safe to continue using without the risk of an electrical fire. If the plug on your lamp is more than 15 years old or you notice poor performance like flickering, you should hire a lamp repair service to rewire it. If you’re upgrading the bulbs in an antique lamp from incandescent to LED or CFL bulbs, rewire it so it’s compatible with the modern bulbs.

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

Outlets do wear out, usually within 15-25 years, but they can fail even sooner than that —sometimes in a matter of years. If your plugs always slide out after you put them in, this is a sign your outlets need to be replaced. Additionally, if your outlets are damaged, cracked, discolored, or regularly tripping the circuit breaker, they may be at the end of their life.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
