We can take on a wide range of residential and commercial low voltage / electrical projects which might include the design and installation of a high end home theater system or just helping set up your new wireless home network. We take pride in the quality of our work and our commitment to outstanding results. We look forward to building strong, long-term relationships with our clients and always guarantee your satisfaction.

"I had a electrical switch that kept overloading. I spoke to Dewayne in the morning and told him I was going to see replacing an outlet would fix the issue. He told me that was fine and not only told me to call him if it didn't fix the issue, but also offered to answer questions if I ran into difficulties. I wound up having Dewayne come out as my simple fix didn't work. Even though I called him again in the afternoon, he still came out the same day and found there was a short somewhere in one of the rooms. He was there for a while trying to locate the short and was able to get my problem resolved and got the switch to stop overloading. He was very friendly and explained everything he was doing as I wanted to understand. On top of that, he was very upfront with the potential costs and was willing to give me an idea of what my job might cost, given the likely issue. This extremely helpful and was unlike another company who only told me they priced the work by job!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

With AC wiring, which is the kind most likely you’ll find at home, the black wire is “hot,” and the white is “neutral.” The bare or green wire is considered the safety ground wire. If you encounter DC wiring, it’s relatively easy to tell positive or negative wires apart. red wires are used to indicate positive voltage and black wires indicate negative voltage.

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

Yes, you can plug an extension cord or an outlet extender into a GFCI outlet. The GFCI outlet will still be able to protect your system in the same way.

Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an electrical fire hazard, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping.
