"Steadfast Electric was great! No 2 week lead time. Brian answered right away and text me throughout the week to be sure to fit in my project. Paul arrived during the time frame and was quick and efficient. Also friendly and knowledgeable. Invoicing came via email which I could pay over my phone via Apple Pay making the process even quicker and easier. Price was just right! I'd recommend to anyone looking for an electrician"

Customers say: True professional

"On time, professional and knowledgable. Could have sold me a top of the line battery but explained to me why a middle of the line for $100 less would be just as good. Keegan will be doing all my generator maintenance from now on. I highly recommend Keegan and Power Cross."

"Kyle was absolutely amazing ! From first contact he was professional and provided me with all the information I needed. He installed an outdoor fan for me that I thought was difficult to fix. Kyle worked around my work schedule and fixed my fan for me fast and accurately. His work was perfect. I appreciate his hospitality , as it is hard to find genuine people these days who care when it comes to helping people. Would recommend Kyle to anyone and I will definitely use his services in the future ."

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.

You can check if an electrician is licensed in New York by using the online license verification search tool offered by the New York State Education Department. The database is updated daily and gives you the option of searching by license number, contractor name, or the name of the business.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.

Typically, when a 3-way switch only works when one switch is on, this is one of the most telltale indicators that the switch has gone bad (although this could also be the result of faulty or loose wiring). To diagnose the issue, toggle each switch until the light comes on. Once it’s on, toggle each switch separately again; the switch that doesn’t turn the light off is the bad switch.
