"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!"

"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

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

GFCI outlets help prevent dangers from ground faults that can cause shocks. This is a different issue that a ground circuit can’t fully address. It’s best to use GFCI outlets combined with ground circuits for complete protection for you and your electronics.

Let them know exactly what type of job you need them to do, and be as specific as possible to get the most accurate estimate. A photo of your project might help them better understand your needs. Ask what kind of prep you should complete before they visit and what kind of cleanup to expect after the visit. Finally, ask how long the project usually takes.

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
