"Ralph, and his team, were the first to respond to my request. They were prompt and flexible enough to take care of my entire project. Ralph finished wiring our warehouse and office in hours, not days or weeks. Ralph and his team were timely and professional, and they finished our project ON-TIME and on budget."

"needed service for circuit breaker issue - After making an appointment was contacted because the electrician could come earlier (nice surprise). He was very courteous and was here several hours. Explained thoroughly the issue and recommendations. Cost was a pleasant surprise. He even did a few extra things like putting in new hardware for electrical outlet. Area was cleaned before he left and he did not complain once about the condition he had to work with getting to the electrical box and switches. Gail M Joliet IL"

"I would highly recommend Four Seasons! I recently scheduled duct and furnace cleaning. The technician quickly identified an issue that necessitated purchasing a new furnace. I opted to also upgrade my AC at a bundle rate since it was over 25 years old. The duct cleaner and professional installers were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and worked efficiently to both clean my ducts and install my new furnace and AC expeditiously. I immediately realized a huge difference in my heat and air quality which I am sure will result in savings on my electric bill. I have even scheduled some electrical work through Four Seasons and plan to use them going forward for all my Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

Old electrical systems may have more problems than newer ones. In some cases, like if your home has aluminum wiring, it may be necessary to update your electrical system. You should also update your home’s wiring if it still has knob and tube wiring, which is considered dangerous by modern building standards. If that applies to you, get in touch with an electrical professional near you to obtain a quote.

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.

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.

Yes, in a new home, ground wires are mandatory. Some older homes may not be grounded, but if you decide to renovate, you will need to have your electricity grounded at that time. Remember, grounding helps keep everyone in your home safe from sudden electrical surges. It’s best to hire an electrician to inspect and work with your home’s wiring.
