"Fox electric was very professional and helpful from the beginning. I hired them on the recommendation from someone and Iâ m glad I did. He explained everything that he was going to do thoroughly and got the job done and did a great job cleaning up after himself. I will be using fox electric for any future electrical needs."

"The service tech came and was very polite. He quickly pointed out the issue. Unfortunately, the issue was with the electrical outlet and not the dryer. He told me what needed to be done to correct the issue and I was then able to buy the parts at the store and fix it."

"I highly recommend them. One of my lighting rods was damaged during the tragic tornado that hit Ocean Ridge Plantation in South Carolina. They fixed it at no charge. Their work is excellent and timely. I highly suggest you protect your home from lightning strikes and recommend this company They stand behind their work and customers,"

"Very nice and professional. Price was in the average range of what we had researched and cheaper than our other two estimates. Work was awesome. The system is installed and is barely noticeable. I definitely recommend WB Lightning Rods."

Customers say: Quality work

"Mattâ s work was exceptional. He painted ceiling, electrical work and carpentry work to finish look of ceiling. We removed the drop ceiling and Matt did the rest. The room looks remarkable and gives added height. Love the industrial look. Also, installed ceiling light in dinning room. Swept floor. I will hire him again for future projects. I have been burnt in the pass by handymen so it is exciting to have someone who does superior work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, standard dimmer switches should never be used to control a ceiling fan motor. They’re designed for lighting, not motors, and they can cause humming, overheating, or permanent damage. You should only use switches that are specifically labeled for fan speed control.

To prevent a plug from overheating, always ensure that the electrical load connected to the plug does not exceed the plug's capacity. If the plug feels hot to the touch or emits a burning smell, immediately shut off the circuit breaker and unplug all devices from the hot outlet. Prevent electrical fires by avoiding using extension cords or adapters with the plug, as they can cause it to overheat due to increased resistance. Additionally, ensure that the plug is properly inserted into the outlet and that the outlet is not damaged or loose. 

Professional services ensure safe installations, reliable repairs, and compliance with codes emphasizing safety in electrical networks.

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.
