"Updated bathroom electrical during remodeling. They came the day after I called them for an estimate for 1 hour of work and completed it immediately. Also gave me an estimate for a household generator. I would hire them again."

"I hired him through Angie's list. Was hesitant to use this service, but happy I did! Was easy to schedule an appointment with, called me back and we set up a time and day. Gave me both a show up fee and hourly rate over the phone. Very up front about hourly rate and let me know giving an estimate over the phone cant be done without looking at the project first. He still gave me a round about figure over the phone after listening to me. Had 2 light fixtures installed into an existing switch( I provided the fixtures, he supplied other materials such as romex ) Wiring in the attic was all in conduit he had to cut into to install a junction box. Job was done quickly and I was shocked how low the bill was when the job was completed. Very impressed with how everything turned out. Based on having hired other electrical contractors to do work on our condo association property in the past. I would not hesitate to hire him again for my home or association property based on cost and honesty. I would also not hesitate to use Angie's list. Just really a great experience all around!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you plan to have a refrigerator or other appliances that require electricity, you will need an electrical outlet in your outdoor kitchen. Be sure to comply with all National Electrical Code® (NEC®) codes for electrical wiring and outlets in kitchens. If you do not plan to install a refrigerator or any other appliances that require electricity as part of your outdoor kitchen features, then you do not need to install electrical outlets. However, it is a good idea to install at least one electrical outlet should you decide to use any appliances that require electricity.

240V is the standard for more demanding appliances in the United States, whereas 220V is more common elsewhere. The voltage isn’t very different in any practical sense. The United States is a newer country compared to many other regions in the world with a faster adoption of new electrical needs. Appliances in the United States are often bigger than other parts of the world.

You don’t need to be an electrician to change a light bulb. You also don’t have to be an electrician to replace a light fixture with another compatible one. But, if you are installing a light fixture for the first time, it’s worth hiring a licensed professional for the job.

While a handyperson may charge a bit less, a qualified professional can make sure everything is up to code and working exactly as it should be. This is especially true for more complicated lighting projects.

If wiring in a relatively modern home is damaged due to sudden events like a fire, a tree falling into the house, or a flood, then homeowners insurance is very likely to cover the cost of replacing the wire.

However, if it’s determined that wiring failed or started the fire because of age, neglect, or not meeting current electrical standards, then insurance won’t be covering any replacement. Also, insurance policies may charge more for particularly old kinds of wiring like aluminum wiring or deny applications altogether. 

Though they may seem similar at a quick glance, outdoor electrical outlets are different from indoor electrical outlets in that they have extra safety precautions to prevent electrical hazards. These include GFCIs, which some indoor outlets have, and a watertight cover that allows you to use electricity from the outlet even on a rainy day.
