"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."

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

Before hiring an electrician, check out the contractor’s official website, read reviews, and look them up on your local Department of Labor’s website. If you’re hiring for a complex job, pay special attention to their level of expertise. Also, call up pros directly to ask about their insurance status, specifically liability insurance, and request customer references.

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.

GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, a standard safety addition to home power outlets. In rooms where moisture is more likely, like the bathroom and kitchen, GFCI outlets stop the current when certain kinds of shorts are detected, preventing shocks. Both GFCI and the similar AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are polarized and have clear indicators on the receptacle where hot wiring should go.

Yes, an AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) outlet also has line and load terminals, although it uses different technology than a GFCI and offers a different kind of protection. AFCIs monitor for internal arc faults, a type of wiring problem that can start an electrical fire.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window.
