"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."

"I hired Josh because he was the electrical subcontractor on my new build home where I wanted to add a few items. Not only was he was able to leverage his familiarity with the house, but also he is keenly focused on service and satisfaction. He and his crew quickly and efficiently installed two new 220V circuits (one for an EV charger and a second for a hot tub), plus an additional soffit outlet to power an exterior retractable solar shade. He communicated clearly and consistently throughout. He also provided recommendations which resulted in savings (applying some DIY talents and use of products available on Amazon). I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again when I need electrician services and would recommend him to family and friends."

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"can’t say enough good things about Three Phase Electric. I’ve used them on more than five different projects now — everything from full-home remodels to smaller electrical upgrades — and every single time, they’ve been consistent, professional, and a total pleasure to work with. As a contractor who runs a plumbing company, I’ve worked with my fair share of subcontractors over the years, and electricians are usually hit or miss. Three Phase Electric is a total standout. Whether it’s rewiring old systems during a remodel, running new circuits for tankless water heaters, upgrading electrical panels, or setting up lighting for kitchens and bathrooms, they just get it done right. No cutting corners, no excuses. They always show up when they say they will, their work is clean and organized, and their team communicates really well — which is rare in the trades. They’re also great at working around other subs on-site and making sure everyone stays on track."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To install an outlet from existing wiring, you’ll need to choose a location where you can already access existing wiring. The easiest way to do this is to install an outlet on the other side of the wall of an existing outlet. 

Since the wiring is already in place, all you have to do is connect a new cable to the existing wiring and then connect the correct wires through the wall—to the new electrical outlet. Place your new outlet into the opening in the wall and then connect the correct wires to the appropriate terminal screws.

No, not all thermostats require a C-wire. Older manual and programmable thermostats typically do not need one. While many smart thermostats do require a C-wire to function correctly, some models can operate without one, often at the expense of certain features. A C-wire provides a constant source of power, which enables the thermostat to stay connected to Wi-Fi and keep its display screen lit on-demand. If you are upgrading from an older thermostat to a smart model that requires a C-wire, you may need to install one first for it to work as intended.

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

The number of outlets and lights you can safely run on a single circuit depends on the circuit's amperage and local electrical codes. A general rule is to allow one outlet or light fixture per 1.5 amps, keeping the total load under 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. For example, a 15-amp circuit can typically support up to eight outlets or lights, while a 20-amp circuit can accommodate up to ten. Always consider the combined power usage of all connected devices and fixtures to prevent overloading. For specific guidelines and to ensure safety, it is best to consult local electrical codes or a licensed electrician.
