"Fantastic. Marty got us a quote the day I called him and followed up with me the next day to make sure I got it. The other two companies I called never even called me back. Marty was quick to come out to our house (the day after we called and confirmed we'd like to move forward with Alternating Current) and get our power back. He knew that without our power we were basically homeless so did everything he could to get to us and get us back on the grid."

Wilshore Electric currently has 5 employees. Both owners are hands on and part of the day to day activities including estimating and installing. Both of us and our foreman have 25+ years experience. All payments are due upon completion of our work. Generally we send an invoice within a few weeks of completing work. For some smaller projects we will issue a bill at time of service. Messages left at our office number may not be returned until the following business day. Don't forget to look for our coupon!

"I called Wilshore. They were prompt and professional. They removed the old, burned out line and fished new lines (an additional neutral line to enable future home automation switches). This is the kind of business I love to find on Angie’s. Owner’s are involved in the delivery of service and are proud of their professionalism. They were a great find!"

"Jeff arrived within an hour of our call. He quickly determined that a few of the wires in the receptacle boxes for that room were not connected. We believe that the machine that the carpet installers used to glue down the carpet overloaded one of the boxes and the backstab connection came loose from the socket due to the heat. Jeff rewired the receptacle and secured it. He also checked and rewired the other receptacles in that room. We are going to have him come out and do the remainder of the house soon due to concerns around the state of the other connections. We would highly recommend Jeff."

We are Family Owned and Operated. Specializing in Expert trouble-shooting & new Electrical Construction work. Upgrades to Panels and elimination of tripping circuit breakers. Free Estimates. No Subs. Cost Is Determined By The Job. No Travel Charges. No Service Fees. No Extra Charge For After-Hours Service. No Extra Charge For Weekends. 1 Year Warranty on All Labor and Material.

"Bravo Electric and Jack Blazejewski, the owner was highly recommended by family members. Jack came early morning after I called about my home losing half its power. He explained the problem was with the circuit brakers as the source and repaired it immediately. I was then able to have a new central air conditioner installed the same week. He also recommended replacing an older circuit breaker panel box, itemizing the cost (which was reasonable compared to other quotes) and the installation time. I am pleased that Bravo completed this project in its entirety. His initial visit was not a separate charge. Jack also came back to replace non-working bathroom outlets and a wall switch for a ceiling light fixture. Jack is a genius level electrician with an upbeat personality. I highly recommend Bravo Electric for all electrical needs."

Exterior Lighting questions, answered by experts

Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.

In this category, homeowners provide materials. Some installers may offer advice on suitable options.

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

LED lights last much longer than conventional incandescent light bulbs. Most manufacturers estimate that LED bulbs can last between 10 and 15 years, but they more often last between four and seven years with regular use. Other factors, such as heat exposure and surging electrical currents, can cause an LED bulb to burn out prematurely.

The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.
