"There is not enough space to write the praises for James Fleming Electrical Contractor, LLC. and his fantastic team; especially Josh Smith. His answering service team is also amazing!!! Jim was the first one to immediately respond to my inquiry on this site. From our first text to our meeting and projected estimate viewing, he was outstanding. Jim not only is a honest tradesman, he is an amazing educator; he explained the why and how for everything. When it was time to get the work completed, I was once again pleased to find his team member, electrician Josh Smith was equally wonderful. Josh has the patience and the knowledge to complete the work to the exact specifications and educated me on the new state standards, the most cost-efficient choices. and about electricity in general!!! As a woman who owns multi homes in this region it was quite comforting working with an electrician that fully understood the needs of my home, my budget and was honest; I completely trust Jim and Josh, I cannot wait to have them start on my next project. THANK YOU AGAIN JIM AND JOSH!!!"

"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."

"Frank called me and came out the next day. He knew exactly how best to handle our electrical issues and encouraged us to approve the repairs that would have the safest outcome. We are so grateful to Frank and will ask him back for the many other electrical projects we have in our old house."

"I recently had my electrical panel upgraded, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. From the first conversation to the final inspection, everything was handled professionally and with care. As a homeowner, it's important to me to know the job is being done right, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood what was being done and why. The work was clean, organized, and completed when he said it would be. It's not often you find someone who is reliable, shows up when they say they will, and takes real pride in their work. The new panel looks great, and it's a huge relief knowing my home's electrical system is now updated and safe. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing electrical work done. Great guy, honest, knowledgeable, and someone I wouldn't hesitate to call again for future projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Hawaii is currently rated as the most expensive state for utilities. How much are utilities for a house in Hawaii? With electricity costs in Hawaii totaling nearly 42 cents per kilowatt-hour, residents are paying more to run their households than any other residents. Electricity costs in Hawaii are so high, mostly due to the fact that most of the electricity available to residents is produced using oil that must be shipped in from other places.

Grounding is an essential part of installing an electric fence. Without grounding, the electrical circuit will be incomplete. That means the fence won’t work and will fail at delivering shocks upon impact. Even grounding the fence improperly can cause faulty shocks, if any. To ground the fence, you will need to use ground rods, ideally made from copper or galvanized metal, that are at least 4 feet high, for best results.

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.
