"I contacted them with very little notice before they were needed for a job (finding an electrician was not on my list of duties to address, but someone forgot to take care of it), and they were able to get in on the second day of the project and get everything squared away. They understood what we wanted done, and made it happen. Will definitely use them again for our next electrical project."
"Once we found a time that worked for both of us, I asked how much it would be. Was told $85. They walk in my house without putting on shoe coverings (we have new carpet) and shoe coverings should just be a given for any service coming into a customer house. The one he sent couldn't figure it out. He was here for MAYBE 10 minutes; he called someone to try and figure it out, ended up going to Menards to purchase a different switch, (that's ok), was gone MAYBE 45 minutes, installe switch and charged $200. Upon my arrival home in the evening, switch did not work. Had to keep another switch on to make the one they installed work. He sent another young man the next day after and he was here MAYBE 10 minutes (and the owner implied he should charge more since they had to come back- REALLY???) I asked if we could some money refunded and was told I could stop by the shop and get 1/2 hour refunded. He can keep is $42.50 to send his employees to school. My opinion total cost should not have been more than $100."
"This is a truly great company. They provide great customer service and spend time explaining the details and answering questions. My husband obsessed about every single detail and could not deny that it was a no brainer. Our first electric bill since installing the panels was a CREDIT! I was not expecting that. If you have ever considered solar, seriously, just do it. Long term, you can not go wrong."

"Called at 11:30 a.m. and Chris was here by about 12:10 p.m. Figured out the problem within about 15 minutes. A switch on our older receiver just needed to be set on another setting. I asked if he wanted payment now or will he send a bill. Chris called the boss and the boss said not to charge anything since no parts were needed and it took chris such a short time to figure it out. I was not even charged for a service call! He just asked that we spread the word about the company! You just do not see anything like this very often anymore. Chris gave me some business cards and I will for sure pass them out to friends and spread the word. How refreshing it is that a business like this still exists. I would highly recommend this company and will call them again the next time I need something and will be willing to pay whatever they charge as I know it will be a fair price. I realize that I just happened t call at a good time and that no company can come out so fast and I realize that most of the time it will cost something. But they could have easily charged at least a service call and they did not. This is a sign of a truly outstanding company. Please use them, they are outstanding! "

No, sconces don’t have to be hardwired, but they can be for a more permanent solution. Sconces come in various styles, sizes, and finishes as well as types of installation. Plug-in wall sconces can be plugged into a nearby outlet, and battery-powered sconces can be mounted to the wall.
Hiring a professional for attic fan installation or replacement is highly recommended to ensure safety, proper ventilation, and effectiveness without damaging your roof. The type of professional needed can vary based on the fan type and project specifics.
HVAC Technicians: They understand airflow and ventilation principles, making them well-suited for the job.
Roofers: Experienced roofers are ideal for roof-mounted fans, as they can ensure a watertight installation.
Electricians: A licensed electrician is essential if new wiring is needed, or for replacing solar or electric attic fans to safely handle the electrical connections.
Carpenters: They may be needed to install gable vent fans or to ensure a new fan fits the existing structure correctly.
Handyperson: For a simple replacement of an old fan with no wiring or structural modifications, a handyperson might be an option.
Moving an electrical outlet typically costs between $25 and $300. The final price depends on several factors, including the type of outlet, the condition of your existing wiring, and the state of your walls. For example, working on exposed walls without drywall is easier and less expensive for an electrician. However, if the walls are finished, the cost may increase to account for necessary repairs afterward. It's recommended to consult a professional for a precise quote based on your specific situation.
You should not attempt to disable a smoke alarm unless you’ve already activated a replacement unit. To stop a hardwired smoke alarm from beeping, reset the device or silence the alarm. If you’re removing a hardwired alarm, shut off the power, turn the unit counterclockwise to remove it from the ceiling, and disconnect the wiring.
