"Back in early 2018, 360 Electric installed a Tesla Mobile Charger for my Model 3 EV, along with an EKM energy meter for the car charger, and doubled my electric panel from 100A to 200A. They did an excellent job with the install and everything has been working great ever since. No complaints."

"Job: install fan and switch for it in spot with no electrical box yet. 1 hr 56 min arrival to departure. Pros: Called me the next day after reaching out through Angie. Friendly to talk to during booking and while working at the house. The work went well nstalling the ceiling fan and a switch for it where one wasn't. Cons: Never quoted job (figured it couldn't be that bad for a fan install so didn't ask - big mistake) and appointment was a month out for 7:30am on a Friday. Informed them I worked nights at the time of booking. They text me at 6am that day to inform they'd ould be late and arrived at 9:46a (I'm 25 hrs awake at the point they arrive). Invoice for $737 comes across. Inquired about the $300 for labor for one and $375 for labor for the other and was told "We usually charge round trip, and I only charged you one way. And there was no existing switch or fan location,if it was as simple as just changing a fan out there would have only been one". Double labor charge unfair."

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

You can install a dimmer switch on almost any light as long as the switch, bulb, wiring, and wattage are compatible. Check what kind of light you have, the type of light bulb, and the total wattage of the bulbs to ensure your dimmer is a match. You’ll want to choose a non-neutral wire dimmer if you don't have neutral wiring. Homes built before 1985 that don't have updated electrical systems may not have neutral wiring.

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:

  • Are you a full-time electrician?

  • Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?

  • What level of experience do you have as an electrician?

  • Can you please share three references?

  • Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?

  • What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?

  • Will any subcontractors be performing the work?

  • Are permits and inspections required?

  • Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?

  • What is your schedule?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?

At a minimum, you need an electrician to inspect the house wiring after a fire. The electrician will need to replace damaged or melted wires. If the electrical wiring is old, about 25 years or more, you should rewire the house after a fire. Old wiring can increase the risk of another fire, so replacing the wires is the safest option.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.
