"NE Electric was the first to call me back after submitting the servicemagic request. They were actually able to schedule an appointment for the same day I made the request, which was terrific. The electrician that completed the project was very friendly, helpful, and did a quick and clean job. The prices were competitive to other bids received. I will definitely go with Nordeast Electric in the future."

"Adam at Go Electric was awesome to work with! We wanted to add lights and outlets to our dark kitchen and living room. From start to finish Adam provided us his positive professional opinion to help match the ideas we had in mind. His can-do attitude and strong communication made him a 10/10 hire. We recommend Go Electric to any friends or family that need electrical help!"

"From the moment they confirmed my appointment, to the time they left my house smiling and wishing me well, the gentlemen from Randy's Electric proved that they are the ONLY electrical service that I will ever need! Their estimated arrival time was between 10:00 am and 12 noon. Fortunately, I did not have to put my life on hold for 2 hours to wait for them. Shortly before 10:00 am, Jeremy called to let me know that they were in my neighborhood. He gave me an accurate arrival time. Wonderful! Even though I consider myself a messy housekeeper, both Jeremy and JD treated me with friendly respect. They left absolutely no junk behind! My 80-pound dog (very territorial) barked at them when they arrived, but they miraculously calmed her down. Within minutes, these experts restored 3 nonfunctioning indoor outlets to perfect working condition . . . wow! In less than one hour, they completely replaced a dead exterior outlet, rendering it much safer and easier to use. Amazingly, they had all the specialized parts in their truck! An average handyman would have taken weeks to order and acquire the necessary gizmos. The expertise and interpersonal skills of these 2 gentlemen exceeded my highest expectations! The price? Totally affordable, and precisely equal to their honest estimate. Randy's Electric is my TOP choice for all future electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

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.

You should not attempt to disable a smoke alarm unless you’ve already activated a replacement unit. To stop a hardwired smoke alarm from beeping, reset the device or silence the alarm. If you’re removing a hardwired alarm, shut off the power, turn the unit counterclockwise to remove it from the ceiling, and disconnect the wiring.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.
