"Diffused Electrical handled the electrical portion of a fire suppression system install in one of my food trailers for my business, Concession Trailer Depot. From start to finish, they were excellent to work with. • Work ethic: They showed up on time and got the job done efficiently. No delays or excuses. • Quality: The workmanship was clean and professional, exactly what you want on a commercial build. • Communication: They kept me informed throughout the project and explained every step. • Professionalism: Straightforward, easy to deal with, and clearly take pride in their work. I highly recommend Diffused Electrical for any electrical work on food trailers, food trucks, or commercial projects. Great company and great people."

"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 bought an older house and was wanting to have some electrical work done. So I gave CJ electric a phone call and right out of the gate was very pleased with the customer service and effort put into even just a quote. I was helped with any question I asked, above and beyond. The cost was very affordable and the entire house looked great and worked great when CJ electric finished up. From start to finish they have been great to work with. No mess and no hassle. Highly recommend them."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you've ever tried to run your dishwasher while drying your hair, you’ll understand why dedicated circuits are essential for preventing blown fuses. Appliances that require more electricity than the circuit can handle could blow fuses, trip breakers, overheat, and risk an electrical fire. 

Having a dedicated circuit ensures that your appliance gets the current it needs without overloading the other circuits in your home.

The cost to install or replace a circuit breaker depends on the price of the unit itself and the complexity of the installation. A new circuit breaker typically costs between $10 and $100, with standard breakers being the most affordable and GFCI or AFCI types costing more. If you are upgrading to a higher amperage, a 200-amp circuit breaker can cost between $250 and $350. The average total cost for professional installation is around $700, but this price varies. A simple replacement into existing wiring will cost less than a more complex project that requires opening walls, running new wires, and securing permits.

Unfortunately, a partial power outage without a tripped breaker often means you have a major wiring issue or that the breaker itself is going bad. When the power is out in one room but the breaker is not tripped, you need to call an electrician as soon as possible to identify the cause of the problem and repair it.

A full home inspection can cost nearly $350 on average, but inspecting the breaker box specifically is likely to be lower, between $100 and $200. Don’t confuse this service with a basic breaker trip check, which doesn’t take long and is usually billed at $40 to $50 per hour.

If the electrician discovers a serious problem and needs to replace a breaker, it can cost between $100 and $200 in additional expenses. Although rare, replacing the electrical panel typically costs between $500 and $2,000.

Even if you don’t have children living in your home, The National Fire Prevention Association still recommends installing tamper-resistant outlets when you’re replacing your existing outlets. 

Not only is your home likely to change hands at some point, but you may have young children over as guests. Making the switch even if you don’t currently have children living with you at the moment will help protect any future pint-sized visitors to your home.
