"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

"I reached out to Master Systems Electric to help with a small project. I actually came across them on Angi List and immediately they responded to me. After receiving a phone call I sent them some photos and they were able to get to me the next business day. They were very respectful and also respectful of the property. They listen to my concern and went over a few things with me that could contribute to the problem I was having. What I like is they didnt try to upset me on anything or try to make me pay for an arm and a leg for something that wasnt needed. They made it simple and talked to through the whole process. I would use them in the near future for sure. They were able to help me out and also give me some things to consider."

"I would highly recommend Four Seasons! I recently scheduled duct and furnace cleaning. The technician quickly identified an issue that necessitated purchasing a new furnace. I opted to also upgrade my AC at a bundle rate since it was over 25 years old. The duct cleaner and professional installers were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and worked efficiently to both clean my ducts and install my new furnace and AC expeditiously. I immediately realized a huge difference in my heat and air quality which I am sure will result in savings on my electric bill. I have even scheduled some electrical work through Four Seasons and plan to use them going forward for all my Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

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. 

Yes, a bad switch can cause other outlets not to work. If the switch is part of a circuit that controls multiple outlets, a fault in the switch can disrupt the entire circuit. It can happen if the switch is wired incorrectly, has a loose connection, or is damaged. Fixing or replacing the faulty switch can often restore power to the affected outlets

Different fences use different amounts of electricity, but their operating costs are very low overall. Electric fences pull between 4 and 25 watts from the system if you have an average-sized yard. Barring any complicated math, you can expect an average electric fence to cost less than $5 a month to run. Aboveground electric fences, which are not typical for residential use or small animals, can cost more, but you shouldn't notice a significant change in your electric bill.
