"Mike was great from the beginning. It took me months to find a contractor that kept to their word on getting me quotes and keeping to the work spec. We had a sub panel added to our garage as well as some lights and a 3 way switch from the house setup through them. Everything was laid out well, done with pride in their work and with no fuss about additions added by the electrical inspector for code. Everything was handled and I didn't need to ask twice for anything. Mike presented options of how it would be setup and we chose the best path forward. Communication was A+ and I never had to chase him for anything. The work was neat and done very professionally and I couldn't be happier. Electrical inspector also had no issues with their work and signed off immediately. I will be using them in the future for other projects I have coming and I'm recommending them to my mom for work she needs done as well. 100% pleased with everything from first contact to job wrap up."

"Wonderful personality and very helpful. Did over what I asked. The fee was a bit high for the electrical portion. I had a couple of wires cut and capped. That is what the actual job was. $175 I believe it was, was pretty steep!"

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

For a 200-amp underground service, you need a minimum of #2/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper or #4/0 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Don’t forget that, at minimum, you’ll need to use a 1 1/2-inch schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit to successfully run a 200-amp underground service.

You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an electrical fire

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.
