"I went on Home Advisor for help contacting an electrician. David from Bay Electric of Northern Michigan LLC contacted me about 2 hours later. David came to my house a couple days later, to go over what my needs were. My project was to upgrade my electric box from fuse panel to breaker box, upgrade electrical service from 60 amp to 100 amp, and install electrical service to a new pole barn. David gave me an estimate which I accepted. David did the whole job including permits, scheduling with Consumers Power, final inspection.etc. David also supplied wire, 2 breaker boxes, and everything needed. Very professional, friendly, and complete service. I highly recommend this company. The job was completed in 1 day. David is coming back in Feb. to connect my generator to whole house service for when power outages occur."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Grounding is an essential part of installing an electric fence. Without grounding, the electrical circuit will be incomplete. That means the fence won’t work and will fail at delivering shocks upon impact. Even grounding the fence improperly can cause faulty shocks, if any. To ground the fence, you will need to use ground rods, ideally made from copper or galvanized metal, that are at least 4 feet high, for best results.

The best light switch is user dependent. What works for one person might not work for another. Someone looking to ward off burglars may choose to install proximity light switches or anti-vandal switches, while someone who simply wants to find the switch in the bathroom without using a nightlight may prefer an illuminated light switch. Consider the location of your light switch and the features you want to help you decide on the right light switch for your home.

Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.

If you find the power cables for your appliances are too short, there are ways to extend them for the cost of just the extra wiring you need. Simply cut and strip your wires, solder them together, and cover them using heat shrink tubing. Not everyone has a soldering tool on hand, so if you’re looking to extend in a pinch, an extension cord, power bar, or surge protector can do the job just fine.

Wiring or installing a light the wrong way can lead to potentially dangerous scenarios, including shock and even electrical fires. If you’re the least bit uncertain whether you’ve wired something correctly, the best and safest approach is to call in a professional electrician to handle the installation for you.
