"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!"

"I first asked for a quote back in February of 2024. When I received the quote I decided to wait on this project. Then we lost power for 2 days due to a storm. I then decided it was time and contacted the contractor again. He sent me an updated quote and the project was scheduled. It's now installed and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully it will be a long time before we need to use the generator because we lose our power. But we are ready when it happens. I will definitely use this company again for any electrical jobs that come up. Andrew and his crew were great."

"Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"I recently hired Chris from B-Hive Electric for a Level 2 EV Charger Installation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, they were professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the process, ensured all my questions were answered, and provided a fair, transparent quote. During the job, their attention to detail and commitment to safety were evident. They worked efficiently, kept the area clean, and delivered outstanding results that exceeded my expectations. Whether you need a quick fix or a large-scale electrical project, I highly recommend B-Hive Electric for their skill, reliability, and customer-first approach. Will definitely call them again for future electrical needs!"

"We had electric ran for a ceiling light/fan fixture installation along with three switches added/updated and electrical updated for remount of light/fan fixture in drop ceiling. Sounds simple but our 1940s cape cod style house threw some curveballs. Mike handled everything professionally and did high quality work. Will definitely hire him again, if needed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can daisy chain outlets, which involves connecting multiple outlets in series. However, ensuring the circuit can handle the additional load is important to avoid overloading and tripping the breaker. The total number of outlets on a single circuit should not exceed the recommended limit, typically eight on a 15-amp circuit. Hiring a licensed electrician is always advisable for complex installations or if you're unsure of what to do.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

The wrong-sized wire can lead to several safety hazards, including structural fires, surges, power outages from tripped breakers, and electrocution. It’s important to follow the American Wire Gauge system and the National Electrical Code guidelines to safely wire a home. Electrical wiring is not safe for homeowners to handle and is best left to a licensed electrician.

To avoid drilling into wire, you will need to trace your home's wiring using a stud finder, wire detector, circuit tracer, or voltage finder. Since locating wires in your home can be difficult for some homeowners, hire a professional electrician with the experience and knowledge needed to safely handle electrical systems before drilling into any walls in your home.

Using too many Christmas lights can cause your circuit board to overload which can put your tree at risk of catching fire and potentially damage your home’s electrical grid.
