"Starlight Electric did a fantastic job on the electric part of my current home improvement project, and even better they did it for an affordable price. They took the time to explain what they were doing and spent the extra effort to make sure even the little things were done right. We will be hiring Starlight Electric for all our electrical needs."
"I called Starlight Electric and they were to my house in 2 hours. Diagnosed and fixed the issues I was having within 2 hours. The price and customer service were great but most of all they were very clean which was very important to my wife. I will be calling them for another electrical needs I need in the future."

I would strongly hire this company again for any electrical issues we have in the future."
"We told him before scheduling the work that our ceilings were high and he would need a 12' ladder. When he got to our house, without ladder, he wanted us to go rent one while he waited, which we decided not to do. The promotion that we bought was 2 hours of electrical service, to which we got about an hour's worth of re-connecting a ground in one light fixture. He told us to call him when we had a ladder rented and he would come back to install the other light fixture, but we decided to just do it on our own. "
"He did really good work. He was prompt and showed up on time when he said he would be there. He was nice and friendly to work with and gave good customer service. He also told me what was going on and did all the insurance work for me."
"Technicians were friendly informative professional. Showed and explained work that was going to be done . Performed inspection showed me what needed to be fixed and why Would Recommend to everyone. They will be my First Choice for all electrical work"
"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!"
There are several things to try to repair a broken outlet. Whether it's fixable or not may depend on the problem and the type of outlet itself. Start by testing the circuit with an electrical tester and ensuring the breaker switch to the circuit functions as it should. Loose wires are sometimes the culprit and are repairable by fixing the connections.
If your outlet needs to be reset multiple times, you likely have a problem with the outlet, the reset button, the wiring, or its connected circuit breaker. If the reset button doesn’t work and the circuit breaker isn’t the issue, it’s likely a problem with the outlet or the reset button it’s attached to.
When selecting a pool heater, it’s important to think not just about the cost of the unit itself but also about how much it costs to run. Expect to pay about $100 per month to run a heat pump pool heater. A natural gas heater will cost twice that amount, while an electric pool heater costs about $250 a month.
Hiring a professional for attic fan installation or replacement is highly recommended to ensure safety, proper ventilation, and effectiveness without damaging your roof. The type of professional needed can vary based on the fan type and project specifics.
HVAC Technicians: They understand airflow and ventilation principles, making them well-suited for the job.
Roofers: Experienced roofers are ideal for roof-mounted fans, as they can ensure a watertight installation.
Electricians: A licensed electrician is essential if new wiring is needed, or for replacing solar or electric attic fans to safely handle the electrical connections.
Carpenters: They may be needed to install gable vent fans or to ensure a new fan fits the existing structure correctly.
Handyperson: For a simple replacement of an old fan with no wiring or structural modifications, a handyperson might be an option.
Yes, a hot or overheating outlet is a fire hazard and can cause a fire. An outlet becoming hot indicates an electrical problem, such as an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or a faulty component. The heat from these issues can ignite nearby flammable materials like curtains or furniture. If you notice an outlet is hot to the touch, turn off the power at the circuit breaker, unplug any connected devices, and consult a qualified electrician. If a fire does start, use a Class C fire extinguisher or baking soda to suppress it, or evacuate immediately and call the fire department.
