"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Gene was great to work with and very responsive. We had can lights installed on the first floor. Quote was very reasonable and he was able to start pretty quick. Great communication and showed up exactly when he said he would. This was a multi day job and at the end of each day he would pick everything up and leave the work area immaculate and put furniture back so we could use the area at night. Would highly recommend GET Electric!"

"Great experience from beginning to end. I got a quick and reasonable quote. Work was scheduled for a timeframe that worked great for me. I got a reminder text the day before the scheduled work. The crew came in on time and finished everything in one visit as planned. There were minor complications but the team had workable solutions. Once the work was completed they cleaned up. The entire team was really friendly and kept us in the loop on what they were doing. Great job Top Grade Electric!"

"Ralph and Ralph Jr were a pleasurer to work with. They did a great job installing TVs and mounts at all of your medical clinics. They were very responsive to all of our questions and gave us exactly what we were looking for. They stand by their work and will make sure everything is done to your satisfaction. I would hire them again for any other installation, electrical, or networking work we need for our business."

"I was pleased with the installation of the lightning rods--communication was great and the work was done quickly. What I wasn't happy with is he quoted me a price that was less then my actual bill was BUT the price was still less then two other contractors bids."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When converting a standard 120-volt outlet to a 240-volt outlet, the only components you can typically reuse are the existing electrical box and the hole in the wall. Everything else—including the wiring, breaker, and receptacle—should be replaced to ensure both safety and efficiency. Appliances designed for 240 volts have different plug configurations that won’t fit into a standard 120-volt outlet, making it necessary to install a compatible 240-volt receptacle. This design helps prevent overloading or underloading the power available to any one outlet or circuit.

No, you should always use proper electrical wire caps to safely cap off electrical wires. Electrical tape isn’t as durable as electrical caps and can deteriorate and separate over time, exposing the live wires. The only way to use electrical tape for this project is to wrap it around the caps themselves to reinforce them and create an even stronger connection, preventing an electrical emergency.

When installing an outdoor outlet, it's important to proceed with caution. Unless you have the necessary training and licensure, it's not recommended to attempt this DIY. First, choose a suitable location. Make sure that the area can accommodate the outlet without overloading the circuit. You'll also need to ensure that your project complies with building codes. Next, turn off the power to the circuit, then install and wire the outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the outlet is in place, test it. Lastly, be sure to use a cover that will protect it from moisture and other weather-related damage.

Yes, a dead outlet can be dangerous and may cause a fire. The lack of power can be due to a hazardous electrical issue that poses a fire risk. If you notice a burning smell, discoloration, or sparks from a non-working outlet, it is a serious issue. It is vital to have a professional electrician investigate and fix the problem as soon as possible.

If you’re wondering whether an electrical panel in the bathroom needs to be moved, the answer is yes. Due to the risks of shocks and electrical fires, electrical panels cannot be located in bathrooms per National Electric Code Volume 70. Additionally, gasses, vapors, liquids, and temperature fluctuations can all compromise the functionality of your electrical panel, so it’s important to install it in a dry, cool, safe, and easily accessible location.
