"I recently hired GF Electric LLC to install a 240V Nema 14-50R outlet for an electric car charger. David and his team were super professional and did an amazing job.... everything looks so well done and professional and clean. They also gave me an extra/complimentary ground outside the house. I highly recommend them for any electric work."

Small jobs welcome

"We hired Parker Electric to install several new LED canned lights into our existing kitchen as well as retrofit some old cans and have a island fixture and remove old fixtures. Brian, the owner, contacted me within an hour of my HomeAdvisor submittal to review my needs and provided a very competitive written quote soon after. Once hired, we scheduled the work a few days later. David, his master recessed can electrician, arrived for the apportionment and reviewed the job, provided expert advice on the layout, and then proceeded to complete the job quickly and on budget. This included correcting some previous non code junction box issue he found without charging me extra to correct. Both David and Brian were professional, courteous and sought my input when any question came up. I would say they wanted to make sure I was extremely happy with the job before considering it completed. I would not hesitate to call Parker Electric for any further electrical work and would highly recommend you give them a chance to bid your project!! The difference with Parker is they will help you with suggestions to your project instead of just doing the work. It was a real pleasure doing business with them."

"I donâ t often write reviews but I sure do read them. I felt compelled to write a review on JW creative because i have been extremely happy with my results and wanted to share them. I  used JW creative for several projects.  When I lived in Chicago I met face to face with Jake and his team, when i moved to Puerto Rico i could not find a company on the island that was responsive so i reached out to JW thinking why not go back to the company that i was happy with. I was a little apprehensive that i would need a face to face for them to see the space but we did it all through video meetings. When they gave me a budget the project came in on budget unless I changed things and they were very good about letting me know how it would impact the budget. The team was very creative making suggestions on where to place things and what kind of materials to use. The work quickly in cad drawing and giving me renderings and walking me through the project. When I asked about appliances or fixtures they gave recommendations and sent me examples. The projects turned out beautiful and were beyond my expectations.  If you are starting a project or in the middle of a project that isnâ t going well they can help get you the results you want. They did it for me and I could not be happier. My local projects were full turnkey with them,  my project in Puerto Rico they gave me detailed elevations which I used to get quotes. They even supplied quotes so I knew what range the project should come in at. I am extremely pleased with JW and I think you would be too.Â"

"10x20 backyard patio & 2x7 walkway. Tom was very considerate and attentive when reviewing the project area and provided a reasonable estimate. Tom and his workers were extremely friendly and caring while working. Zero problems during the project and they finished the project quickly (3 days). Very happy with the results so far, if anything changes within the next 3 years, I’ll be sure to update my experience. Awesome experience, great company, and would recommend to others."

Lighting questions, answered by experts

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

Professional repairs involve diagnosing issues, replacing components, rewiring, or repositioning fixtures to restore optimal performance.

You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. 

Testing tools, such as Christmas light testers, non-contact proximity electrical testers, and multimeters, all simplify the process of testing Christmas lights. However, without one or more of those tools, testing Christmas lights the old-fashioned way only works sometimes. Without testing tools, the simplest testing method is visual inspection, which may or may not yield positive results.

If half of a string of Christmas lights is out, it is likely because of a single burned-out, loose, or broken bulb within that section. Long strands of lights often contain more than one circuit, so when one bulb fails, it can cause the entire circuit (or half the strand) to go dark. To fix this, inspect the unlit section and test each bulb to ensure it is tight and functioning properly. Replacing the faulty bulb or repairing a damaged shunt will typically solve the problem.
