"Caleb installed an EV charging station - which also required an upgrade to my antique electrical panel. I was very happy with the work that was done and at a reasonable price (compared to other bids I received). I will definitely be using The Plug Electrical company for future electrical work."

"Excellent!! The work was professionally done and exactly what we needed. I would hire Fusion Electric again for future electrical work -- they did an outstanding job! Dilan and Jacob were the electricians who did the work. They were very easy to work with, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Everything they did looks great and works great. An outstanding job from start to finish!"

"Daniel with Mr. Sparky KC completed a big project requiring our home & moving our panel. Daniel was excellent in troubleshooting our unusual electrical system & bringing it up to maximum efficiency & safety. Scheduling for the project fit well into our schedule. Updating our system involved several unexpected complications, but Daniel persisted until each was corrected. I would highly recommend Mr. Sparky& particularly Daniel for your next electrical project."

"I discovered the old knob-and-tube wiring in my house was actually burning, and Austin from VoltPro Electric got to work immediately. He removed all of the knob-and-tube wiring and completed a full rewire in a very clean and well-organized way. The work was done in sections so my child and I could continue living in the house comfortably while everything was being upgraded. Austin kept everything neat and professional and finished the entire job in just one week. The total cost was only $10,000, and VoltPro Electric offered easy financing which made the project affordable for me. The house feels safe again and the work looks excellent. I truly wish I could give VoltPro Electric more than 5 stars. Highly recommend."

"Seth, owner of C & S Electric, did a phenomenal job! The finished work was just neat compared to the 'before' picture. The electric company noted that the work was above & beyond standard and I was elated😊!. I've already recommended C&S Electric to my neighbors and plan to call on Seth for future electrical projects. Thank you "Angi" for the recommendation. The access to work-force was reliable and easy."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

An average, 400-square-foot electric heated driveways consume approximately $3 per hour in terms of electricity. The price may slightly fluctuate depending on your local energy cost. A simple formula to calculate your heated driveway’s total wattage consumption is by multiplying the square footage by 50 watts and then dividing it by 1,000 to get the kilowatt number. Multiply that with your local energy cost per hour and there you have the hourly operating cost.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

An electrician will charge between $100 to $150 to install a new light switch. Whether you need to cut into the wall and repair drywall will determine your final project cost, as you can expect to pay $50 to $75 per square foot to repair drywall.

Yes, the majority of appliances that run at 240v will work with a 220v outlet, but will often run slower and may have a slight delay in turning on. This could also cause long term damage to the appliance being used, so it’s recommended to always use the correct voltage for your appliance and upgrade to a 240v outlet if needed.

The color code for the common sprinkler wire is white, and then you can assign the remaining color codes to the rest of the wires for different sprinkler zones. For example, you could use red for the first zone, then blue for the second, and so on.

Color-coding helps you keep track of which wires go to specific zones so that you or a pro can address any issues or repairs quickly. Check your local electrical code for any requirements regarding sprinkler wire colors.
