"Everything about Able Electrical Services service was superb! I was in a jam, and Able Electrical Services came to the rescue. Both of the mechanics that assisted were excellent. Russell Ridgway was the primary mechanic and he was amazing! His work is superior and he exceeded my expectations every step of the way. For example, I needed electrical outlets to connect install a wet bar. He measured the wet bar and installed the outlets exactly where they were needed and ensured sufficient power was added to accommodate a kegerator and mini-frigs. I highly recommend Able Electrical Services and hope I never need to use any other electrician."

"I was referred to Kolb Electric by my home warranty service.  There were two issues, both in the bathroom:  1.  The light fixture did not work.  I had changed the bulb but still no light.  Could not determine the issue on my own so I contacted an electrician.  2.  One of the two plugs on the outlet did not work.  The latter issue was relatively easy to resolve.  The repair person happened to have a GFI receptacle and was able to replace.  He noted that the cost was normally $30 + tax for the part but he did not charge me.  The reset had broken on the other one.   With the former issue, the technician was taking a very long time (more than 30 mins) to diagnose the problem.  His conclusion was that i needed a new fixture entirely.  The one I had was a T12 ballast fixture and he recommended a T8 ballast fixture.  I asked him to explain the rationale as well as the difference between the two.  He didn't provide a very thorough or  clear explanation, except to repeatedly say that I needed a new fixture.  In reality, what he was recommending was a new striplight--not a new fixture.  [Note:  I purchased a new T8 light strip from Amazon for a whopping $16.45.]  When I asked if he was able to make this repair, he noted that he had to contact my home warranty service to get approval.  I could not recall immediately if my home warranty covered parts, etc.  I looked through my files for a copy of the policy while he spoke with the home warranty service via phone.  He shared with me that he'd now been at my home for more than an hour, and there would be charges for subsequent time.  [Note:  He was on the phone with the home warranty company from 8:49 am - 9:20 am.]  I asked him how he'd calculated that, since it had been less than an hour, and he said that he included the time it took him to find parking.  Even now, nearly two years later as I write this, I still can't believe he actually said that.  If every repair or service person charged their customers in DC for time they search for parking, no one would ever be able to afford a repair service.  This is a major metropolitan city and you're arriving during the AM rush hour (arrived at 7:40 am).  As he spoke (allegedly) to the warranty company, presumably his dispatcher/supervisor and me, he kept changing the cost to stay--from $246 to $305 to $185 (for the fixture alone) to $270.  At this point, I decided to wrap up our interaction, and told him I'd be in touch if I needed him (which I never would).  I gave him a check for $75--the cost per the warranty company for the visit.  In the end, I never called him or Kolb back.  It took 2 more electricians to diagnose the problem (see my POSITIVE review of A Action Home Services).  In the end, it wasn't the fixture at all.  A neutral connection had to be repaired.  Once that was fixed, and a new bulb installed, ta-da:  light!  I'm being generous with my rating mostly because he did fix the plug.

"The service was stellar from the start. I contacted C. T. Smith Electrical and everything from explaining what I needed to the actual work being done was managed professionally. I provided pictures as well as the electricians came out to assess. The price was very fair for the jobs requested and even when there were some issues that required additional work, the additional cost was fair. They have no way of knowing what is behind the scenes until the start the work and I completely appreciated their assessment and the options available to complete the job. I am so happy with outcome. I will definitely recommend! Thanks C. T. Smith Electrical."

"I needed an electrical outlet under my bath vanity in order for the plumber to install a point of use tankless water heater. Mark was quick to respond with a quote that was much less expensive than another electrician and didn't need the extra "fluff" that I would have been charged. Came on time and the work was done with precision (the plumber even admired the work!) :-)"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Homes in Westminster built before 1960, especially those in historic neighborhoods like Uniontown or near Main Street, often have outdated home wiring and limited electrical safety features. Signs such as two-prong outlets, flickering lights, or frequent breaker trips indicate a need for electrical upgrades. If you’re planning renovations or notice a lack of outlets, it’s wise to consider electrical improvements to keep up with modern energy demands.

Helpful?

In Westminster, electrical projects can impact systems like HVAC, well pumps, sump pumps, or security alarms, particularly if they share circuits or wiring paths. Many older homes have interconnected systems or hardwired smoke detectors. Before starting, review your electrical panel and identify which circuits serve essential systems to avoid disruptions and maintain electrical safety during upgrades or repairs.

Helpful?

Westminster homes with stone or brick exteriors, plaster walls, or limited attic and basement access often present challenges for electrical upgrades. Multi-story layouts, finished basements, or additions with separate electrical systems can add complexity. If your property is in a historic district, preservation guidelines may restrict visible changes. Assessing your home’s structure and accessibility helps ensure electrical safety and a smoother project process.

Helpful?

Begin by determining if your electrical project requires permits, especially for panel upgrades or new wiring. Schedule inspections early and contact local utilities to mark underground lines before digging. Plan work around Westminster’s winter weather, which can delay outdoor projects. Choose contractors familiar with local building codes, and if your home is in a historic area, allow extra time for required approvals to avoid project delays.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Westminster, keep a non-contact voltage tester, digital multimeter, wire strippers, and insulated screwdrivers. Stock up on GFCI outlets, weather-resistant covers for outdoor outlets, surge protectors, wire nuts, and electrical tape. Since local storms can cause outages, a reliable flashlight and backup batteries are essential. These tools help ensure home wiring repairs and upgrades are performed safely and efficiently.
