"Lighthouse Restoration Group replaced and upgraded my electrical service — two new panels, 400 amps total — and it’s by far the cleanest install I’ve seen across all the upgrades and repairs we’ve done at our house. The before photo shows the dangerous and sloppy work that accumulated by probably dozens of different electricians. These guys saw this and were appalled. Now see the after. Every wire is perfectly routed, tensioned to spec, and labeled. It looks like something out of a training manual. What really stood out wasn’t just the craftsmanship but the professionalism. They checked every single outlet, light, and appliance in the house — not “most,” not “some.” Every one. They even torqued each lug exactly to manufacturer spec. No shortcuts, no guesswork. They’ve got pride in their work, and it shows. If you actually care about doing things the right way — not just “getting it working” — these are your guys. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"I am currently doing extensive renovations on my 2-flat property, and working with reliable, skilled professionals is essential. C.C. Electric exceeded every expectation. From the moment Cristian responded to my inquiry, he showed the utmost professionalism. He came out promptly to evaluate my electrical needs, walked me through potential solutions, and provided a clear and detailed proposal. I reviewed it with my general contractor, and we agreed to move forward. We already had materials on hand (after a previous electrician never returned—long story), but Cristian and his team stepped in seamlessly. The scope of work was extensive: installing 19/00 boxes for new wall receptacles, adding new conduit, installing two new ceiling fans, new light fixtures, and a new bathroom exhaust fan vented to the side wall, just to name a few tasks. Cristian and his team completed the work in just three days, and the quality was exceptional. Even my GC had nothing but praise for their craftsmanship, "

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it is not safe to use an outlet that sparked. A spark from an outlet could indicate a short circuit, loose or frayed wiring, or other serious damage. Continuing to use an outlet that sparks can increase the risk of electrical shock, electrical fires, and other hazards. It's important to turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker if possible and avoid using the outlet until a licensed electrician has inspected and repaired it.

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.

When shopping for a multimeter to handle this job, make sure you purchase one that is able to test for capacitance. While most multimeters offer this function, some do not. You shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money to find the right multimeter. There are models that can perform this test that cost as little as $10.

Three-way switches are only replaceable with three-way switches. A single-pole switch won't work if you replace one or more of a pair of three-way switches. By electrical code, three-way switch configurations are necessary at the top and bottom of a staircase between residential floors.

A 60W LED bulb is likely labeled as “60W replacement” on the package—that’s because it provides about the same light output as a 60W incandescent bulb. In reality, it likely uses less energy—usually 15 watts or less. If that’s the case, then it’s perfectly fine to put a 60W LED bulb in a 40W socket. Your best bet is to read the package carefully. It will tell you the LED bulb’s actual wattage, and as long as it’s lower than the fixture, the bulb will be safe to use.
