Customers say: True professional

"Very professional and efficient. I felt that communication was clear, and he made sure that I was 100% happy with the job before he left. Everything was explained clearly to me from start to finish, and he guided me on purchasing my EV charging box. I would definitely hire Jeff again for any future electrical work."

"Josh is fair and very responsive with his crew of interchangeable professionals who are prompt and professional. My project was a huge undertaking across four apartments involving exterior panel installations and a complete rewiring of the entire building. I worked with about 6 of his crew members spanning months without any meaningful complaint and would depend on them for all my future electrical endeavors. His pricing is very fair for the quality of work you get."

"I hired Bill to change a 15amp outlet to a 20amp. The job was more in depth than I anticipated because of the distance from circuit breaker to outlet location and the need for new wiring. We discussed discussed other location possibilities, but Bill was confident he could complete the job as I had planned. He did so with absolute confidence and professionalism. Much appreciated!"

"After one of the snowstorms we had this last winter, we found ourselves without electricity. A tree had fallen across our power line, ripping the electric meter off the house and hurling it across the lawn. Perhaps it is needless to say that we felt like the helpless prey of the Universe. On the advice of a friend, we called C. B. Electric. This company proved to be fast and reliable. Their charges were reasonable. They were polite, really nice and reassuring people. They told us when they would be here, and they came when they said they would, which was only a day or two later. They immediately started a search for a replacement meter. When they got that, their work was fast and was performed with what I like to call "snappy exactitude." We absolutely could not have been better pleased. Electricians just don't get better than this."

"I hired this company to do electrical run from my house to my shed. I was so impressed with their work and then reasonable price for the work they did. I had another problem with electric in my kitchen. I called them to come and fix it which they did in a short amount of time for a reasonable price. I would call them anytime."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

An estimate for electrical work should include an estimated number and an estimated price to complete the work. An electrical estimate should also include a description of the services to be provided as well as the materials to be used, such as wiring, switches, panels, or other items, and the cost for those materials. If any tax is charged, that should appear on the estimate, too. Some estimates may include additional options that can be added to the base price of the quoted job if the customer chooses to go ahead with the add-ons.

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.

Both can and canless lights have distinct advantages, and the better option depends on your specific needs and preferences. Canless lights are often preferred for modern homes due to their slim, low-profile design, energy efficiency, and ability to fit in tight spaces with less ceiling depth required. Can lights, or traditional recessed lights, provide a classic look and may be better for high ceilings or areas that need stronger, more focused light. While they can be durable, they typically require more ceiling space and installation work. Ultimately, you should choose canless lights for a modern look and energy savings, or opt for can lights for a traditional aesthetic and robust lighting in larger spaces.

Yes, the majority of appliances that run at 240v will work with a 220v outlet, but will often run slower and may have a slight delay in turning on. This could also cause long term damage to the appliance being used, so it’s recommended to always use the correct voltage for your appliance and upgrade to a 240v outlet if needed.
