Customers say: True professional

"For a reasonable price, I got more than I asked for. Not only did I get my breaker box up to code and a generator plug, but my A/C wires mounted on the house, removal of the original breaker box from 1950s and the box that had been upgraded back in the late 70s. And Richmond was available via phone to help me thru the steps of getting my portable generator up and running. Great young man. Will call in future for electrical needs."

"Had need of an electrician after one of the rooms in my house completely lost power and I couldn't get it back on. I call a few other companies and the earliest they could see me was over a week. I called Payne Electric on the recommendation and they had a technician out within two hours. My technician, Frank, was considerate, knowledgeable, and walked me through exactly what was wrong, and within two hours my power was fixed and Frank was on his way. Payne Electric will certainly be my go-to company for electric work in the future"

"It was time to sell our house and almost every dimmer switch (the dial kind) was broken. Brion went in and changed every one of them. He also changed ceiling fans. He then changed outlets in some locations to those that include electric outlets and USB outlets. When the inspector said we needed the GFI plugs, Brion told me to point out the breaker in the breaker box was what we needed. The inspector had missed that and then agreed with Brion."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

You will need a permit for any electrical work that involves installing or replacing wiring, moving or installing new fixtures, switches, or outlets, hardwiring appliances or HVAC equipment, installing subpanels, and upgrading electrical service. You typically don’t need a permit to have an electrician replace an existing light fixture or electrical box. You can always call your local building department to see if your project needs a permit, but a professional electrician will be able to tell you. In most cases, your professional will pull the permits for you.

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.

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.

It prevents electrical surges, protects your home from things like electrical fires, and prevents you from getting shocked if an errant surge runs through your power line. Without grounded wires, your appliances could also get damaged during lightning storms.
