"GMElectric returned my call within 24 hrs. We set a time/date for a walk through within a few days, and I had a quote within a week. Gracen worked around my schedule and got the job done within 10 days. He is kind, professional, and explains everything. He came prepared with the tools and materials he needed, and also was willing to use materials that I had. He takes time to do the job right, but finished more quickly than I expected. He was willing to negotiate a change to our work agreement that was requested by my carpenter. He took time to measure and level electrical boxes, and swept up drywall dust and wood shavings, leaving the workspace clean and tidy. These things may sound ?standard? but from experience - they are not. GM Electric was exceptional and I give my highest recommendation. Gracen clearly takes pride in doing a job well and it was great working with him. It will likely be a longer wait as word gets out, but I will call GM Electric every time, from now on."

"We needed help with a redesign of an older powder room with laundry. We were switching to stackables and installing a shower beside them. High Quality Electric came up with a plan and a design, and did a great job helping us with our vision. We are very happy with the finished product, And the whole process. We highly recommend High Quality Elecyric and will definitely be hiring them again for future projects which we already have in mind. ð"

"Those guys just terrific! They installed a whole house generator. It was a very hard installation, because the generator was far away from the electrical source. They have also followed recurring maintenance."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.

In the case of electrical overflow, an ungrounded outlet should trip the circuit breaker, staving off dangerous scenarios. However, this is not always the case, especially if the wires and circuit breaker are worn down or damaged in some way. Ungrounded wires melt over time as they are introduced to more and more electricity. In other words, a circuit breaker offers protection in most instances but not always, and that’s where the danger lies with ungrounded outlets.

Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home’s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.

To avoid drilling into wire, you will need to trace your home's wiring using a stud finder, wire detector, circuit tracer, or voltage finder. Since locating wires in your home can be difficult for some homeowners, hire a professional electrician with the experience and knowledge needed to safely handle electrical systems before drilling into any walls in your home.
