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"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Basic smart light switches are available for as little as $20. If you can install them yourself, it’s a home upgrade that won’t break the bank. Many homeowners view them as a worthwhile investment for the additional convenience and security they can offer. However, they are a little more tricky to install than standard light switches, so if you don’t have the electrical knowledge to do a DIY job, unless you need a lighting upgrade, remember these are a nice-to-have rather than a necessary purchase.

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.
