"I hired Matt when I was in the process of converting from a natural gas wall oven and cooktop to electrical versions. There had to be a lot of rewiring done, and he and his men did a great job. They arrived promptly at the agreed time to do the preliminary work and then arranged to come at the same time as the appliance installers to finish the job. Matt even took the time to fix my doorbell for me when I mentioned that it had not worked for years :-) It was clear that they are incredibly competent and the job went very smoothly. I would definitely hire them again if I need electrical work done in the future. Thanks Matt!!"

"They contacted me within an hour of my request and explained the procedure for dealing with the electrical that had been pulled down from the house by a tree during the 3/2 storm. Very easy to work with and they were there every step of the way. Came out the next morning took care of the work needed, charged a very fair price and he then went to town hall to contact wiring inspector who came out 30 minutes later. Everything went smoothly thanks to Eric's overseeing the entire process. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again. Very happy to have found Sylvia Electric!"

"Matt and his team did an excellent job upgrading our electrical panel. He coordinated the work with National Grid, relocated the panel, labeled the circuits and tested all the work. I would highly recommend Dever Electric."

"Shamus did come and complete the job, he did have to leave twice for supplies prior to me explaining what was needed for the ceiling fan installation. We paid the invoice and thought it was high for the actual time spent at the home."

"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."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Automatic gates don’t use too much electricity, and you should see a minimal effect on your utility bill. In fact, certain gate systems are entirely self-sufficient and rely on solar panels attached to or near the gate to power the motor. While a gate is large and there is a powerful motor moving it, it’s not something that sees constant use throughout the day. For most automatic gates, expect to see a utility bill increase of only around $10 per month.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

If your fan is ceiling-mounted and will vent through the attic to the outside, you will need an electrician to handle the wiring, and if you need to install ductwork for the first time or replace existing ductwork, you will need an HVAC professional as well.

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

Light switches can last for decades when installed and maintained correctly. Improper wiring, heavy wear and tear, or too much wattage draw can cause light switch failure long before the expected end of a light switch’s life. Light switches that are hot to the touch, making a buzzing noise, or failing to work consistently should be inspected to find and repair the underlying cause.
