The prices are always fair, and they always give me options to help me make the best decisions depending on my need and my budget. I trust them with my home and I wouldn't call anyone else."

"We can't thank Gene enough for upgrading our electrical panel. Being first time homeowners, this was a big deal for us. We couldn't of asked for a better person to come and do this job. Gene was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that we could understand. He communicated with us very well! I'm most grateful for his understanding of our busy schedule. I will definitely be hiring again for future home projects/remodels. Thank you again!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Different types of light switches include single-pole switches (the standard switch in your home), double-pole switches, toggle switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, and more. 

A single-pole light switch controls the power to a single device, whereas two-way, three-way, and four-way light switches control lights from different locations, increasing the number of connections in the home.

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

To ensure batteries stop charging when they’re full, you’ll need to install a charge controller that determines when the battery is full. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge controller will stop the energy flow or divert the energy to the grid or other appliances. Without a charge controller, the battery may continue to charge, which can lead to less productivity and potential damage.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.
