"George Poulo runs an extraordinary electrical company. He actually returns calls, keeps appointments, finishes work on time. Poulo was hundreds of dollars less than the next lowest quote. This was no small job, it involved a complete upgrade to breakers from fuses, and 200 Amps service. I was highly satisfied and would recommend."

"If not for DC Electric fixing my pool motor, I would not have been able to lower the water in the pool in preparation for the additional inches of rainfall, thereby preventing possible flooding. Not only that, since I had Mr Cropanese here, he was able to address another electrical concern I had. Most happy with his work and will recommend him to others."

"We couldn't have asked for prompter, more courteous, or more expert service. Chris correctly diagnosed and solved all our problems. He wasted no time, charged what we thought was a very fair price, and left us wishing all our experiences with service providers could go this smoothly. Next time we have an electric issue we'll definitely call Paciorek."

"Travis did an excellent job on our somewhat extensive remodel project, coordinating effectively and efficiently with the rest of the team. I totally enjoyed working with him. He is consistently responsive and always appears at the appointed time with the necessary gear and materials. He is clear in his communications, reliable, well organized, proficient, thorough and was patient with my questions. His price was entirely reasonable. Calm and competent, Travis is entirely pleasant in his business dealings. I recommend him without reservation."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you have a tank-type electric water heater, it runs regularly to keep the water at the desired temperature. If you live in a home where you don’t use much hot water, it could seem wasteful to run power to heat water that you’re using infrequently. You could save some power by using a smaller tank, insulating the tank, or lowering the temperature of the water heater.

Yes—if a breaker is old or damaged, it might not be able to detect power surges or electrical overload. If that happens, the breaker won’t trip. Instead, it will begin to overheat, putting your electrical system at risk of fire or total electrical failure. Circuit breakers don’t last forever, so you can proactively replace old or damaged breakers before they stop working.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

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.

Replacing the panel itself takes four to eight hours of work by a professional. However, if associated wiring and related components also require replacement, the labor time increases to 20 to 30 hours. Your electrician can speed up the process by bringing in a team of pros to handle ancillary tasks.
