"It went great. When I contacted the company on a Friday, the owner, Scott Nelson, returned my call right away. Though they couldn't fit me in for a regular service call for another 3 weeks, Nelson agreed to come by that next Monday and give me an assessment and estimate about the electrical panel. He said if the fuse issue was something quick to fix, he would try to take of it. Nelson arrived on time on Monday and was able to both give me an assessment (of what it would cost to upgrade my panel from 20 to 30) as well as assure me that, right now, everything was fine except that something was triggering the arc fault circuit and that needed looking at. Luckily, one of the service calls that day had cancelled so about 2 hours later, Ben and Eric came over to diagnose and fix the problem. They were friendly yet professional and though it took some time to figure out what was tripping the circuit, they were able to do so and now I have working lights at the top of the stairs and on the front porch. I really appreciated how both Scott Nelson and his workers, Ben and Eric, explained things to me and they handled my big, friendly dogs well. I will definitely be using Scott Nelson Electric in the future for any electrical needs."

They were punctual, professional and courteous. As a female home owner, I appreciate that they respected my knowledge and didn't talk down to me."

"Tim did a great job for me wiring up an electric car charging outlet, rewiring my circuit breaker, cleaning up cabling in the utility room and adding some additional lighting, and re-wiring a few light switches. I would highly recommend him. He is friendly clean and extremely knowledgeable."

"Fantastic work! Homer, with his crew, Eric, Damien, and Norris, did an outstanding job with my electrical work. I had 16 light fixtures replaced, one new ceiling flush mount added, an electrical outlet added, dimmer switches added, and refreshed/added kitchen recessed lights. The care with which they worked was incredible. They were not only skilled but also attentive to detail and left your place clean afterward. Homer and his team must take pride in their workmanship. If you ever need electrical work done in the future, you know exactly who to call!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

Yes, Christmas lights on a timer are just as safe as any other Christmas lights are. Most fires caused by holiday lights are due to damage to the strings of lights themselves or from too many lights being plugged into one circuit.

If you connect the wrong electrical wires together, it can lead to a very dangerous electrical shock. All wires should be matched with wires of the same color. It’s very important to consult an electrician if you’re unsure about how to wire your fixture.

Wiring an outlet can be done safely by someone with the proper knowledge and tools, but it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to do the job for you. That way, you can rest assured that your outlet will be rewired safely and quickly. 

Single-pole light switches are the most common light switches on the market. Their simple features make them easy to install and use. For more powerful applications that require 30 or 40 amps, you may need to use a double-pole switch. Some homeowners may want multi-way switches like three-way or four-way switches to control a light fixture from opposing ends of the room.
