"They did an excellent job installing a new 240V outlet in my garage! We were able to easily schedule an appointment. They arrived to my house on time. As they were working they were extremely friendly and communicated proficiently. Once the project was finished everything looked great and the outlet works just fine. I would highly recommend for anyone needing a local electrician."

"Rob has built an awesome business of providing custom lighting for the winter holiday season. Rob knows what he is doing and is very good at providing a display that meets your needs and expectations. He knows what is needed for electrical outlets and if you need more outdoor outlets, he will specify what is needed for your electrician. From that point he provides the lights based on your preference for color and size. He installs the lights, maintains them and will fix any problems if a string goes out. He then will remove the lights after the season. His prices are fair and I have found them reasonable. I didn't give him 5 stars, because after Thanksgiving he gets so busy, that he can't always handle new clients. He works at least 22 hours a day from Thanksgiving till Christmas, very little sleep he honestly tries to get to everyone. I have advised him to limit the number of new clients he takes for installations after Thanksgiving. He continues to think that he can install one more display, but as you read the other reviews, that sometimes doesn't happen. I have also advised him that he needs more sleep! So try to get your installation scheduled before Thanksgiving!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

No, there aren’t additional code requirements for kitchen lights. Kitchen lights and other electrical circuits in the kitchen have different code requirements. Outlets need to be particularly robust because of their frequency of use and proximity to liquids. If you need help determining where to install outlets in your kitchen, consult a local electrician who can ensure that placement is functional and up to code.

A 100 amp electrical service panel can't convert into a 200 amp panel simply by switching the breakers or adding circuits. Upgrading from 100 to 200 amps typically requires replacing the circuit box and updating the electrical service coming into the house. Your electrician will handle the details of the project to ensure a safe and thorough installation.

When removing an old security alarm system, you likely won't need to remove any of the wiring. Wiring can either be left in place for a replacement system or capped off for safety and pushed into the wall. If you're uncomfortable with the wiring, or if it's badly damaged, contact a professional electrician for assistance with safe removal.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.
