"Wayne and Ian were terrific in listening to our electrical installation desires, and professional in their work ethics in doing what we’d asked. We had (3) ceiling fan/lights installed: (2) inside with double switches, (1) on patio with remote. We also had smoke alarms checked with one replaced. And a bathroom light installed with a double switch. Felt their price was very fair. They worked diligently. And we were impressed with their clean up! In and out and one would never had known they were even here except for the projects they completed. We give Wildcat Electric 5 Stars and highly recommend them. We’ll be calling them should we need any other electrical service. Thanks Wayne and Ian!!"

"Order arrived quickly - all in good condition. Have been using them for quite a while now. I love that the pieces lock together magnetically - so no sliding around. You can choose your colors: top and bottom. You do the measuring - they have instructions on how to do that - and it is very simple. Their order department was very accommodating when I called. Would definitely order from them."

"1776 Electrical did an excellent job. The bid was reasonable and they gave me options for materials and lights. They keep updated in their field and suggested upgrades to our lights that will save us money and time. They completed the job quickly and worked cleanly. We enjoyed having them in the house. I will hire them again."

"Called Simple because my breaker kept tripping. After some tests, he started running through his troubleshooting. Since he was he I had him replace some old lights and outlets too. Breaker kept tripping because of a bad porch light."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

While most general electricians can repair lamps and light fixtures, it is often better to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians prefer larger jobs, such as fixing electrical systems or relocating fixtures, and may not offer lamp repair services due to the small scale of the work. Additionally, some lamps, particularly antique models, require dedicated expertise that a general electrician might not have. A lamp repair specialist will be familiar with various types of fixtures and can provide a more dedicated service. If you have already hired an electrician for a larger project, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but for a standalone repair, a specialist is typically the best option.

The lifespan of a pool light depends on the type, but thankfully, these lights are designed to last a long time before they need to be replaced. LED bulbs last the longest, about 20,000 to 30,000 hours, while incandescent bulbs last the shortest amount of time, about 1,000 to 5,000 hours. Fiber optic pool lights will last around 6,000 hours.

Testing tools, such as Christmas light testers, non-contact proximity electrical testers, and multimeters, all simplify the process of testing Christmas lights. However, without one or more of those tools, testing Christmas lights the old-fashioned way only works sometimes. Without testing tools, the simplest testing method is visual inspection, which may or may not yield positive results.

Yes, outdoor lights and receptacles should be on a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for safety. The outdoors is considered a wet location where GFCI protection is generally required. A GFCI enhances safety by automatically tripping and shutting off the circuit if it detects an imbalance, which protects against electrocution and reduces the risk of an electrical fire. While it is the safest approach for all outdoor electrical components, specific requirements can vary depending on the type of light (e.g., pool lights), its location, and local electrical codes. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, it's best to consult a professional electrician.

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.
