Jarvis electric is a local family owned and operated business. We take pride in performing quality electric work at a reasonable price. We have over twenty years of experience in the electrical field. Honesty and integrity are two qualities we believe help to build a successful business. At Jarvis Electric we are building relationships, one job at a time. Update: We are currently not servicing East St. Louis.

"Jarvis Electric did all of the electric for our new build and has come back to add additional items that we have added since we have been in the home. Super responsive and quick to complete all requested work. Top notch service. Extremely reasonable price. I appreciate that they always keep a clean worksite and never leave a mess, even if coming back the next day to finish a job. I have not only used them for my home but referred them to my mom and dad as well when they needed work done. Great company with great people and really easy to deal with. They truly went above and beyond."

I am a Journeyman Union Carpenter by trade but after 15 years left it to pursue other things. I have had rental properties and done hundreds of property rehabs and remodels over the years. I have a working knowledge of plumbing and electrical and I take pride in my work. I also rehab and refinish antique wood furniture and build custom furniture out of old wood and recycled materials. No job is too small and I enjoy meeting all the people that this kind of work leads me too.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Moving an electrical meter in your home depends on what your electric utility company allows. If you only want to move it a few inches, that may be no problem or only incur light fees. If you want to move it a significant distance, you may need to arrange a utility inspection and get permission, or your utility company may prevent it altogether.

The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.
