"I actually did not use their service because Dave offered to walk me through the process instead of me paying to have someone come out. He told me how to correctly turn on and off each breaker to each area in the panel box and just that clarification did the trick (I obviously was not doing it correctly before). I am grateful to him for his time and knowledge, and will certainly reach out to his company for future electrical services."

This generator was installed on the side of a house.  The window had to be replaced to allow for the generator to be placed in this location.  The window was made to not open per code.
We installed this 14kW generator to power the whole house.  We used load shed modules to be able to save the customer money by using a smaller generator than would have been needed if we didn't use the load shed modules.

"Kevin Williams was prompt and professional. He accommodated a last minute appointment for me when the electrician I normally use was unavailable. He called ahead to let me know when he would arrive, and even offered to arrive earlier if I wanted. He was knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. He was also very reasonably priced. I am glad I found him and plan to use his services again in the future."

"I contacted the company for an estimate and was provided a verbal estimate over the phone, followed by a written estimate via email. Scheduling was easy. I called on a Thursday and they were able to schedule my install for the following Monday. The electricians arrived on time, and were very friendly and professional upon our initial greeting. They installed a new chandelier and dimmer in my foyer, and cleaned the work area and disposed of the old light fixture. The electricians ensured I was happy with the lighting placement and job performance prior to leaving. I would definitely recommend this company for your electrical needs and I will be using them for future projects."

He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

"It went great, this is a unique service, for DIY-ers. My electric dryer wouldn’t heat, so I went on line and diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. I also watched several how to videos, but none of them matched my dryer. Finally went on Angie’s list and it matched me up with Tin Lizzee which is a chat service to help you through your repair. The technician I talked with was polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I did get stuck during the repair and they called me on my cell and talked me through what I needed to do. I know I saved a lot of money by not having an appliance repair person come to my house with the mark up on parts and labor rates per hour I believe I saved at least half of the cost, if not more from ordering on line and chatting and talking to the Tin Lizzee technician, it was $30 well spent."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

You can install a three-prong outlet without connecting any ground and plug in three-prong electronics into that outlet. The devices will function normally, but you won’t get any of the protection that grounding provides, so there’s an increased risk of serious problems if something goes wrong.

In many cases, yes, upgrading your electrical panel can lower your electric bill. Upgrading an outdated electrical panel can make your home more energy-efficient, so you consume less electricity and spend less on utility bills. However, to see these savings, you’ll need to invest quite a bit. On average, installing a new electrical panel costs $1,200 to $2,000, with most people paying around $1,600.

If your breaker box won’t reset, stay on, trips when overloaded, or gets seriously damaged, you will need to replace the breakers or possibly the entire panel. A damaged breaker can lead to a fire, so it’s best to err on the safe side and look into replacement. Hire a professional electrician to replace a breaker box to ensure your personal and property safety.

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.
