"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

Choosing between 12- or 14-gauge wire for your house depends on the electrical requirements of the circuit. A 12-gauge wire is thicker and can handle more power, making it better suited for devices such as kitchen appliances, air conditioning units, or electric heaters.

A 14-gauge wire is thinner and can handle less electrical current than a 12-gauge wire. It's ideal for circuits with lower power requirements, such as lighting or general-purpose outlets in bedrooms or living rooms.

While circuit breakers are designed to be reset after tripping, there isn't a strict countdown to when they will fail. The primary danger lies in a breaker tripping multiple times in a short period without allowing the components to cool down. Theoretically, a standard breaker might handle around 50 trips caused by simple overloading. However, this number can be much lower in practice. For instance, a high-current fault could damage a breaker to the point that it needs replacement after only two resets. Repeatedly resetting a breaker that trips frequently exacerbates the underlying problem by causing the electrical components, wires, and the breaker itself to overheat. This can lead to permanent damage, cause the breaker to trip unnecessarily in the future, and increase the risk of an electrical fire. If a breaker trips every few minutes, you should leave it in the 'off' position and call a qualified electrician for an inspection.

Type S or T fuses don’t require any special removal or installation tools. However, replacing a cartridge-style fuse is easier and safer when using a fuse-puller tool. All of these tools should be available anywhere you can buy fuses.
