"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

"Not only did they connect my sound system, but they helped me with an existing Ring security system and a built-in espresso machine that I had no manuals for and unable to figure out how to use them. They were friendly and knew exactly what I needed so that I’m fully functional and safe. I will hire them again and recommend them to anyone that needs help with anything related to electronics. Great team."

"I was pleased with the installation of the lightning rods--communication was great and the work was done quickly. What I wasn't happy with is he quoted me a price that was less then my actual bill was BUT the price was still less then two other contractors bids."

"Customer service was exceptionable and a pleasant experience. We had tree damage that cut our ComEd power (3PM). After ComEd cut tree limbs we were told the Weather Head had to be replaced before power was restored. We searched Angi & contacted MD (4AM) they texted within minutes and asked when they could call at our convenience or we could call them. We called @ 9AM and MD said Claude could come that afternoon. I said OK and explained what needed to be done. I was then told to hold and MD came back and said someone could be there in 35-40 minutes and I said great. They came out (10AM) checked line and said Meter Housing had to also be replaced. They had to go to a supplier to get housing and fixed both including reattaching AT&T line. Since there was excess electrical wire when the original Weather Head was installed MD was able to save us the cost of new wiring. They were done be 11AM and ComEd was done at 3PM that day. Thank You and your HOLMES attitude MAKE IT RIGHT the 1st time."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A standard three-prong electrical outlet typically lasts for about 15 years with normal use and should be replaced accordingly. GFCI outlets may have a longer lifespan of 15 to 25 years. While some outlets can last longer if used infrequently, they can also fail prematurely. Reasons for early failure include poor wiring, an overloaded circuit, improper grounding or installation, or loose plugs. Signs that an outlet is failing include flickering lights, overheating, a discolored or melted faceplate, plugs that fall out easily, or frequently tripping circuit breakers. It is essential to address faulty outlets promptly to avoid safety hazards, especially in homes older than 15 years.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician, you should not DIY any electrical work in your home. Working with wires and electricity is potentially dangerous to both you and the structure you’re working on, and it could lead to house fires or electric shock if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing. There’s a big difference between changing a light switch cover and rewiring an entire home. If you’re staring down a potentially difficult electrical job, give a pro a call.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

Hiring a professional electrician to wire a house costs anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 or more depending on the size and complexity of the project. Most professional electricians charge $50 to $100 per hour. While the extra expense is significant, it’s worth it to ensure the safety of your home’s electrical system.
