"Scott Nelson Electric provided excellent service from start to finish. Our call was responded to promptly. The electrician arrived on time, quickly assessed the problem, and efficiently fixed it. He was very professional and did a thorough job. He respected our property and did a meticulous clean-up afterward. We are very pleased with the results. We highly recommend Scott Nelson Electric."

"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!"

"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!"

"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"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The National Fire Protection Association reports that almost half of reported electrical fires are caused by electrical distribution and lighting equipment. The main culprit behind these fires is often frayed, worn, or faulty wiring, particularly in closed-off and concealed areas like attics, where fires can start and burn undetected for long periods.

Yes, in a new home, ground wires are mandatory. Some older homes may not be grounded, but if you decide to renovate, you will need to have your electricity grounded at that time. Remember, grounding helps keep everyone in your home safe from sudden electrical surges. It’s best to hire an electrician to inspect and work with your home’s wiring.

If you have a lamp that flickers or doesn’t stay on, it’s a sign that it’s time to rewire it. Additionally, it’s important to rewire antique lamps so they’re safe to continue using without the risk of an electrical fire. If the plug on your lamp is more than 15 years old or you notice poor performance like flickering, you should hire a lamp repair service to rewire it. If you’re upgrading the bulbs in an antique lamp from incandescent to LED or CFL bulbs, rewire it so it’s compatible with the modern bulbs.

Removing a fuse from the fuse box is relatively safe under normal circumstances. The task becomes dangerous if wires or wire terminals are exposed or in the case of a disaster such as flooding in the home where water can act as an electrical conductor.

Yes, many remodels include electrical upgrades for lighting, outlets, or charging stations. Confirm with your contractor.
