"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!"

"I hired ABP electric to do an electrical job at my home in Barrington. Brett was on vacation who is the owner of ABP electric and he sent 3 men to do the job they were professional and knew EXACTLY what to do with the wiring. I would definitely recommend this company for any electrical issues you have in your home. Excellent service and knowledgeable in what had to be done. 5 Stars!!"

"Gave us a quote based on pictures and description to add outlets, move lighting and add switches. Also did a bigger project to install ethernet lan wiring in a mostly finished basement, a very hard project to do. He did an amazing job installing everything taking his time to make it work finding ways through the drywall etc without making holes everywhere. We hired him 2 more times for other projects and will hire him again and definitely recommend him to others.."

"Not only did they connect my sound system, but they helped me with an existing Ring security system and a built-in espresso machine that I had no manuals for and unable to figure out how to use them. They were friendly and knew exactly what I needed so that I’m fully functional and safe. I will hire them again and recommend them to anyone that needs help with anything related to electronics. Great team."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

We highly recommend that you use an electrician to wire a doorbell if you don't have electrical skills. You can tackle this project on your own, but it would be best done alongside a professional to reduce all the safety risks, as working with wires can be dangerous and potentially deadly.

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.

Yes, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that outdoor Christmas lights be plugged into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to prevent hazardous electrical shocks or an electrical fire. It’s a code violation to plug outdoor Christmas lights into a non-GFCI outlet, so be sure to follow these guidelines for a safe and successful installation.

Usually, your house panel is one of the key components that must be replaced when upgrading your amp service. In many cases, you will also need to upgrade your meter base as well as other electrical components.

In the United States, home outlets support a standard 15 amps, but you can upgrade per outlet if necessary. Most single-family residential homes have a maximum overall amp rating, usually 100 to 200 amps. Very old houses may have less than 100 amps, but that’s rare. Large homes often come with amp services above 200 amps to support modern lifestyles.
