"I highly recommend Miller Electric. I worked with Tim, Andy, John, and Seymour. They were extremely professional, educational, and did excellent workmanship. They were authentic and helpful. Great team work. We had a new mast and electric panel put in along with other outlet upgrades and change outs. We are up to code, safe, and very happy. Thank you! We'll have you out for the next project."

"My experience with Tom was nothing short of first rate: • He responded promptly, and was able to schedule me next day at a time that worked for me • He arrived when he said he would, evaluated my issues, and got to work right away • He explained what he was doing, what he found, and gave me invaluable advice and recommendations • His approach was professional and his work was top notch • Tom's prices were more than fair for all that he did • I should add that he didn't try to sell me on unnecessary work or add-ons University Electric was a lucky find. Tom's now my go-to-guy for any electrical work I need in my new home. If you're looking for quality work at a highly competitive price, and honest advice from a knowledgeable electrical professional, give Tom a try. You won't be disappointed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Common warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel or meter box include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering or dimming lights, scorch or burn marks, and a burning scent coming from the panel. A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.

You can use both LED and incandescent bulbs in an incandescent fixture as long as the bulb base is the right size. Never use a higher wattage than what the fixture recommends. However, it’s usually safe when transitioning to LED bulbs because they typically have a lower wattage than their incandescent counterparts.

Licensed electricians should perform work for safety reasons; improper installations can prove hazardous or result in code violations currently.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

There are three main wires on a doorbell, typically color-coded white, black, and green, that are connected to a transformer box in your home. One wire runs to the doorbell button, another wire runs to the door chime, and the third wire runs between the doorbell button and the door chime.
