"Peter was professional and was able to come to my house in a short time frame. I had a very simple job, I just need to verify knob and tube was disconnected in basement and that recessed lighting was IFC rated. The price was expensive for what I needed done but I spent some time talking to Peter and I would feel comfortable hiring him if I had a bigger electrical job."

"Perfect — here’s the full polished testimonial with a strong closing added: --- I had the pleasure of working with Brian and could not be more satisfied with the entire experience. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to understand what I needed, offered solutions, and was flexible in working around scheduling and pricing to make the process as smooth as possible. Brian completed a variety of electrical projects in my home, including replacing a ceiling fan, installing new bathroom fans and lighting, repairing a stubborn outlet, and even adding a brand-new outlet to a room that previously didn’t have one. Each task was handled with skill and attention to detail, and he made sure everything was done correctly and safely. What stood out to me was not only the quality of his work but also the way he carried himself throughout the job. Great all around and appreciated."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

Electrical fires are unique from other fire types because they have the potential to deliver electric shocks in addition to being on fire. Avoid serious injury from possible electrical emergency situations by avoiding the use of water, foam-based fire extinguishers, wet-chemical fire extinguishers,  flour, or baking powder to put out an electrical fire. 

A GFCI outlet can be 15A or 20A. The average American home power outlet is 15A.

The major difference between a GFCI breaker and an AFCI breaker is that a GFCI breaker protects against fatal shocks while an AFCI breaker prevent electrical fires. A GFCI breaker senses when the electrical current to ground is overloaded and trips to prevent major accidents or injuries. AFCI breakers trip when it detects dangerous electrical arcing.

You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an electrical fire
