"I did not use the services, because the problem turned out to be with the electric company instead of the generator. Keegan walked me through several steps over the phone to try and avoid an unnecessary service call. I will be sure to call the company when I do need generator service in the future."

"Kyle did an amazing job on our home! We needed lighting installed in the bonus room of our house. He was quick to give us a quote and scheduled and completed the work efficiently. He also helped with the placement of our lighting. He was extremely professional and easy to work with. Our lighting looks great! I highly recommend!"

"Shaja arrived on time/early, and performed the annual furnace check before winter. All electrical components and some minor cleaning performed. It’s not as involved as the spring check with the AC/compressor, but I appreciate how AccuTemp keeps my unit in tip-top shape. Shaja was very professional and explained everything she would be doing beforehand and gave her finings to me afterwards. Some minor ductwork to be repaired or replaced at some point. I also appreciate AccuTemp being able to accommodate around my work schedule with either an AM or PM slot. They used to not offer such, and now I don’t have to take an entire day off work to meet them. I hope to see Shaja on my next cleaning in the spring, as I really like how thorough she is and the time she takes explaining everything. A price wasn’t posted for the service since I’m enrolled under AccuTemp’s Gold Service Plan which includes seasonal inspections."

"Ed Riley is extremely knowledgeable about what causes lighting and how to protect from it. He explained to me which and how structures develop static electricity that lead to lighting discharges in a way that the physics made sense to me. They were also reasonably priced and kept their word. Definitely recommend them."

"Unfortunately, he was not an electrician which is what I'm looking for, he installed lighting Rods. However, his response time was very prompt."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

No, it’s extremely dangerous to cap off live electrical wires. Working with live wires puts you at serious risk of electric shock, which can cause injury or even be fatal. Whenever you need to cap off electrical wires or complete any electrical work in general, it’s essential to shut the power off at the breaker before you begin.

The most common reason a GFCI outlet would trip even when nothing is plugged in is if there’s a problem at the circuit breaker end. This could be an overloaded circuit, with too many appliances plugged into it, or another type of fault. If a GFCI outlet keeps tripping, it can also be because it is faulty and needs replacing.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.
