"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."

"Overall they did solid work. The tech forgot to button up the cover to the main meter box and not all breakers were identified but their quote was fair and they were able to fit me in their schedule quickly."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For many homeowners, sheds are more than storage spaces for tools or lawn care appliances. If you’re thinking about building a work space outdoors or could make your life simpler by running electricity to a spot that’s closer to your yard, it could absolutely be worth the cost.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician, you should not DIY any electrical work in your home. Working with wires and electricity is potentially dangerous to both you and the structure you’re working on, and it could lead to house fires or electric shock if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing. There’s a big difference between changing a light switch cover and rewiring an entire home. If you’re staring down a potentially difficult electrical job, give a pro a call.
