"JR was very courteous and described every detail of the Whole House Safety Maintenance electric program. I purchased a 25yr old home and was unsure of the safety of several remodeled areas. JR checked every detail on a long lilst, tested all wall outlet and switch, GFCI outlets, electric panel, plus many more. I learned a lot. Definitely would recommend JR and Ashpaugh electric company"

"Certified Electric LLC is a must for any electrical needs in your home! As soon as I reached out, Brian called and gave us a quote and scheduled a time to install the ceiling fans. Billy came over within a couple days and did a wonderful job! So personable and knowledgeable! We now have a list of things for them to do including adding a new electrical line for our stove! They also support the military and law enforcement! Reasonably priced too, total win! Highly Recommend!"

"William, the owner, his son, as well as another other gentleman and lady on their crew were super courteous and professional from the moment they pulled up to our home! They answered all of our questions and did a superb installation! We have been struck by lightning twice in five weeks and suffered close $15,000 in damages. We simply cannot continue to change our tv’s, a/v equipment and any other electrical component everytime we have a severe thunderstorm-which has been every afternoon for what seems like months. We spoke with other neighbors who’ve already installed lightning rods and none of them have had any other property damage. WB even sunk a third ground rod in because our Lanai screen enclosure had never been grounded. Awesome job, really nice people and hopefully this will do the trick. Bernard B"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

They can vary—a lot. For example, while the EU continues to move toward broader standardization, many different types of outlets still exist from country to country. Some local standards cared about polarization, and some didn’t. It’s similar to other countries around the world.

Generally, you’re less likely to find polarized outlets outside North America. However, alternative plugs and outlets often incorporate precautions so that accidentally touching live prongs on a plug is hard or impossible. You may also find interesting regulations overseas that limit the use of outlets in bathrooms or near sinks to decrease the chance of shock.

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. 

Electrical meter risers connect your home’s electrical meter to overhead power lines so you can receive electrical service from the grid. Electrical meters also have a weatherhead, which protects the utility lines connected to your home’s electrical system via the service entrance cable. Risers connect the weatherhead to your electrical meter socket, which connects to the meter.
