"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 questions, answered by experts

A circuit breaker flipping off when it detects an overloaded circuit isn’t a problem, but flipping the switch frequently can damage it and eventually cause an electrical hazard. If you’re going on a long vacation or leaving your home for the season, you should avoid turning off your circuit breaker to prevent electrical damage to your system.

A GFCI outlet is easy to identify. It features two buttons on the face that read “TEST” and “RESET.” Sometimes, the “RESET” button is red. These are positioned in the center of the two three-prong plug-in slots you see on a regular outlet. Some also feature a green light to indicate when the outlet is working, changing to red when there is a problem.

You will need a permit for any electrical work that involves installing or replacing wiring, moving or installing new fixtures, switches, or outlets, hardwiring appliances or HVAC equipment, installing subpanels, and upgrading electrical service. You typically don’t need a permit to have an electrician replace an existing light fixture or electrical box. You can always call your local building department to see if your project needs a permit, but a professional electrician will be able to tell you. In most cases, your professional will pull the permits for you.

On average, replacing an electrical breaker panel, such as the Federal Pacific Electrical breaker panel, costs about $1,300. The price range for replacing electrical panels is between $550 and $2,100, depending on your location, the electrical panel’s location, and the extent of the work required to replace the panel. This kind of electrical work is dangerous and should only be done by a licensed electrician.

Track lighting typically needs to be hardwired, connecting directly to the electrical wiring in your ceiling for a permanent and reliable power source. Hardwiring provides a clean and professional look with no visible cords. However, plug-in track lighting options can be connected to a standard electrical outlet, offering easier installation and flexibility. The choice between hardwired and plug-in track lighting depends on your needs, preferences, and existing electrical setup.
