"I hired Randy to install an EV charger and ended up having him take care of a few additional small projects as well. He did excellent work, was easy to work with, and charged a very reasonable price. I’ll definitely be using him again in the future and highly recommend him."

"I recently hired B-Hive Electric to install a Tesla wall charger for my Model 3, and the entire experience was absolutely seamless. I want to give a special shoutout to Chris, who was phenomenal to work with. His communication was stellar from the very beginning—he kept me updated at every step, answered all my questions, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. His professionalism is top-notch; he arrived right on schedule, worked efficiently, and the final installation looks incredibly clean and perfectly routed. The charger is working flawlessly, and the work area was left spotless. If you are looking for a reliable, expert electrician for your EV setup, I cannot recommend Chris and the team at B-Hive Electric enough!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to locate and hire an electrician near you if there’s an electrical project you don’t feel comfortable tackling yourself. Generally, look for a contractor that specializes in the type of appliance or component that you need help with. For wiring, outlets and similar projects, a general electrician is your best bet. For larger remodels, a general contractor will often take care of electrical projects via subcontractors.

A GFCI outlet is a type of electrical outlet that monitors the electricity flowing through the circuit and shuts off power immediately when it detects a loss or acceleration of current. They are particularly important in areas that may come in contact with water, which is why they're most common in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and garages.

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

To prevent a plug from overheating, always ensure that the electrical load connected to the plug does not exceed the plug's capacity. If the plug feels hot to the touch or emits a burning smell, immediately shut off the circuit breaker and unplug all devices from the hot outlet. Prevent electrical fires by avoiding using extension cords or adapters with the plug, as they can cause it to overheat due to increased resistance. Additionally, ensure that the plug is properly inserted into the outlet and that the outlet is not damaged or loose. 

An outlet can start a fire if it has blown a fuse, or is sparking, overheating, or smells burnt. Prevent electrical fires by unplugging the device connected to the outlet and hiring an electrician to determine and fix the outlet’s issue. If the outlet stays hot or isn't working, you should fix it.
