"Roy, whom I believe is the company owner, contacted me almost immediately after I posted the request for services to Home Advisor. He was thorough in assessing our needs, offered a very reasonable quote, and was 100% willing to work with us to schedule a time/date convenient for our tenants. The electrician John, was very friendly, courteous to all tenants, efficient, and cleaned up all materials after the job was complete. I also had forgotten to mention an area of the house that needed addressed, this required someone to return to the job site. The work was completed within a few days of the notification and without any fuss whatsoever. RGS will be our go-to on all future electrical work!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Cory was communicative and professional. He showed up on time and was reasonably priced. I gave him two light fixtures completely boxed up and he had them installed in my bathroom in a couple hours as well as changing a switch over to a dimmer. There was even some trouble with my ceiling wiring and he troubleshooted on the spot. Very appreciative!"

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."

"I have hired Wes many times to perform electrical work on my building. He has installed lights, ceiling fans, switches, and receptacles. In every instance he has done an excellent job. He is very knowledgeable about the electrical code. When he has found deficiencies in the existing wiring, he has been able to patiently explain what the problem is and why it needs to be fixed. I highly recommend Wes."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it is not safe to use an outlet that sparked. A spark from an outlet could indicate a short circuit, loose or frayed wiring, or other serious damage. Continuing to use an outlet that sparks can increase the risk of electrical shock, electrical fires, and other hazards. It's important to turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker if possible and avoid using the outlet until a licensed electrician has inspected and repaired it.

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:

  • Are you a full-time electrician?

  • Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?

  • What level of experience do you have as an electrician?

  • Can you please share three references?

  • Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?

  • What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?

  • Will any subcontractors be performing the work?

  • Are permits and inspections required?

  • Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?

  • What is your schedule?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.

Services by electricians can quickly get expensive, but there are a few ways you can save money in the process:

  • Bundle multiple jobs done at the same time to save on trip fees or flat fees for individual projects.

  • Get at least three quotes for service to find the best deal.

  • Buy fixtures, switches, outlets, and other materials beforehand to avoid product markup.

  • If you feel comfortable with it, have an apprentice or journeyman complete the work under the supervision of a master electrician. These electricians in training tend to charge less per project.
