"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."

"Our experience went very well. We hired an organization to remove our vermiculite, mold and insulation out of our attic, thus it made sense to have Paciorek Electric install the lights in our living room, kitchen and three fans."

"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."

"It only took Nick a half of a day to upgrade my whole panel and circuit breakers. He asked multiple questions on what I really needed and made suggestions on how to save a few bucks by not buying heavy duty equipment that wasn’t needed for my application. Take his business cards and hand them out. you and your friends and family will be very happy with his attention to detail and quality of work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Smart light switches are designed to work with most traditional light fixtures and wiring. However, there are several compatibility factors to consider. Some smart switches require a neutral wire to function, which may not be present in older homes (typically built before 1985). If you plan to use a dimming feature, ensure your LED bulbs are specifically the dimmable type. Additionally, a stable Wi-Fi connection is necessary for remote control, though some models may use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible smart home hub.

No, there aren’t additional code requirements for kitchen lights. Kitchen lights and other electrical circuits in the kitchen have different code requirements. Outlets need to be particularly robust because of their frequency of use and proximity to liquids. If you need help determining where to install outlets in your kitchen, consult a local electrician who can ensure that placement is functional and up to code.

There are many signs it is time to replace an electrical panel, starting with flickering lights. Other tell-tale signals include overheating appliances, light fixtures that cause an electric shock, hissing or crackling from the breaker box, burned or blackened spots near the breaker box, and breakers that trip whenever activating power-hungry appliances like microwaves.

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

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.
