"I had a fantastic experience working with Ludwing from Vital Electric. He showed up right on time, which I really appreciated. From start to finish, his communication was clear and professional, keeping me informed at every step. I was also impressed by how neat and organized he kept his tools and truck—it’s a small detail that really reflects the pride he takes in his work. What stood out the most was Ludwing’s persistence in troubleshooting a tricky issue. He didn’t give up until everything was working perfectly. The price was very reasonable for the quality of service provided. I’d absolutely recommend Ludwing and Vital Electric to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled electrical work."

"I found John Max Electric on Angi and couldn’t be happier with their service. They arrived promptly with a team of three skilled professionals who tackled each of the five electrical issues with precision and efficiency. What really stood out to me was their honesty—there was no price haggling, no upselling, and no push to sign up for a membership. I often feel anxious about hiring companies for repairs because of past experiences with unfair pricing or high-pressure tactics, but John Max Electric was a breath of fresh air. They were professional, fair, and top-notch in every way. If you’re looking for reliable and trustworthy electricians, I highly recommend John Max Electric. They’ve earned my trust and my business for any future electrical!"

"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"From start to finish, Long Electric had our backs. We didn't have to hire sub-contractors or to obtain permits -- Long Electric took care of everything. Our go-to person in the main office, Melissa, answered all of our questions and kept us apprised of everything we needed to know. Everyone we had contact with throughout the installation project treated us with the utmost in professionalism. Not only will I call upon them for future electrical needs, I have referred Long Electric to a friend who is also interested in a whole house generator."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

The easiest way to determine the amperage of your electrical outlets is to check the corresponding breaker in your home’s breaker panel. The number is likely noted on the circuit breaker. If that fails, it’s possible to tell 15-amp and 20-amp outlets apart by looking at them. Fifteen-amp outlets have two vertical holes, while 20-amp outlets have one vertical hole and one T-shaped hole. 

Wiring a light switch wrong can cause a fire if the incorrect wiring causes arcing, meaning the current jumps uncontrolled from one conductor to another. Loose wires or worn wires that are not repaired or replaced can cause arcing. If you’re not 100% sure you can do the job safely, don’t attempt to wire a light switch on your own.

You don’t need to be an electrician to change a light bulb. You also don’t have to be an electrician to replace a light fixture with another compatible one. But, if you are installing a light fixture for the first time, it’s worth hiring a licensed professional for the job.

While a handyperson may charge a bit less, a qualified professional can make sure everything is up to code and working exactly as it should be. This is especially true for more complicated lighting projects.

You should install a 25-amp breaker for your outdoor electrical outlet. If your outlet is only for use in an outdoor kitchen area for standard appliances, then a 15- to 20-amp circuit breaker should work. However, you will need to install a GFCI receptacle or breaker to ensure that the breaker trips on contact with water.
