"Jack has performed multiple jobs for us at our house. This review is long overdue. Initially, Blazer electric has completed majority of the electric in our unfinished basement which required running conduit to install recessed lighting and multiple outlets. In addition, they have replaced bathroom lights, exhaust fans, ceiling fans, outdoor lights, kitchen undermount lights etc. Jack and his team are very prompt/professional along being priced fairly. I highly recommend using them for any of your electrical needs!"

"EddieWas through and easy to work with. The work was excellent and Eddie of Ferrer Electric consulted with the company who was installing industrial fans to be sure that all of their requirements for the electrical outlets were met This was a complicated install as it was on the ceiling of a barn which required a lift Eddie also followed up on his work to be sure all was done correctly I would hire him again and will recommend Ferrer Electric to my friends Sue Lutz"

"Amp Electric and the owner, Allin, is absolutely top rate. Not only did they have fair pricing and complete great work but the customer service was above and beyond. Allin was friendly, professional and a great communicator. He took the time to walk us through the process so we understood the work he would do and answered all our questions patiently throughout. We will always reach out to him with any future electrical needs. Without any reservations I would recommend Amp Electric!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

You can use both LED and incandescent bulbs in an incandescent fixture as long as the bulb base is the right size. Never use a higher wattage than what the fixture recommends. However, it’s usually safe when transitioning to LED bulbs because they typically have a lower wattage than their incandescent counterparts.

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.

The major difference between a GFCI breaker and an AFCI breaker is that a GFCI breaker protects against fatal shocks while an AFCI breaker prevent electrical fires. A GFCI breaker senses when the electrical current to ground is overloaded and trips to prevent major accidents or injuries. AFCI breakers trip when it detects dangerous electrical arcing.

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.

Rewiring an electric system in a house typically ranges between $2,000 and $9,000, but a simple project can cost as low as $1,500. More complex upgrades run $10,000 or higher. The price depends on the size of your home, how accessible the wiring is, the cost of materials, and local electrician fees.
