Customers say: Quality work

"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!"

"Peter did a 100 to 200 Amp electrical service panel upgrade and also installed a power outlet for an EV. He reached out quickly and was very polite and professional. He definitely kept his promise about how meticulous his work would be. He always showed up at the agreed time and inspection passed without any problems. Price was very reasonable. When should you hire Peter? If you are looking for somebody who completes his work as promised with a high quality standard (even if it might take a bit longer). When should you not hire Peter? If you are looking for somebody to rush the job, possibly cutting corners just to be done quickly. Thanks again, very happy!"

"Anthony and his co-worker (Leo) from A Triolo Electric did a great job installing new recessed lighting in my new renovated kitchen, new pendant light over my kitchen island, and they fixed a nonworking plug. Anthony was responsive, showed attention to detail, and presented as honest. The price was also reasonable. I would hire him again, and highly recommend his service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.

There are several reasons why an electrical outlet would suddenly stop working, including:

  • Broken parts in the outlet

  • Outlet burnout

  • Circuit breaker tripped

  • Damaged circuit breaker

  • GFCI outlet tripped

  • Damaged or loose wires

  • Failed connectors

  • Appliance failure

It’s a great idea to replace and update outlets, especially if an outlet stops working. New outlets work well with modern appliances and devices. Over time, outlets become old and worn—they can even become damaged, cracked, and burnt if the wiring is old and outdated. Old outlets and wiring can cause smoke, sparks, flickering lights, and an electrical fire.

Do not touch electrical wires in your home without first turning off the power at your circuit breaker and testing the wire with a voltage meter or multimeter. Electricity still flows through wires even when a light switch is powered off, and touching wires with the switch on can result in electrical shock.

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.
