"The employees at Meyer Electric know all about customer service and have bent over backwards to accommodate my busy schedule and multiple requests. I havenâ t received a bill yet since all my projects havenâ t been completed; however, the original estimate seems reasonable for what Iâ m having done. Iâ ll definitely call them again for future electrical work."

"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."

"Adam provided an estimate for wiring our new woodshop (24 x 32 feet).  His bid was thorough, detailed and competitive.  Once we awarded the work to Go Electric, we realized there had been a misunderstanding regarding the start date.  Adam graciously, and without complaint, rearranged his other scheduled jobs to accommodate our urgent request.  Adam worked directly with Connexus in solving a complex electrical hookup issue.    As part of the woodshop job and electrical hookup issues, Adam advised that we update our 1969 electrical panel.  The recommendation was made based on safety concerns, compliance with state and federal code, and the savings for us doing it now versus in the future.     After paying the final bill, there were a few unforeseen issues that were not part of the original project and Adam was quick to provide solutions and immediately scheduled the additional work.     Overall, Go Electric and staff (Joss and Nick) are personable, honest, clear and lightning-fast communicators, customer focused, well organized, polite, knowledgeable, and respectful (of our property and decisions).  Weâ ve worked with a lot of contractors and Adam and his team stand out.  All for a reasonable cost which was competitive with other bids.  Go Electric comes with our sterling recommendation - we do not have one complaint."

"Tom was GREAT ! A quick response call, fast to come to my home. Very fair and reasonable cost for service. I didn't want a flashy large company that leaves me with a magnet or calendar. I wanted good honest service, and I got that from Tom- University Electrical"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to determine the amperage of your electrical outlets is to check the corresponding breaker in your home’s breaker panel. The number is likely noted on the circuit breaker. If that fails, it’s possible to tell 15-amp and 20-amp outlets apart by looking at them. Fifteen-amp outlets have two vertical holes, while 20-amp outlets have one vertical hole and one T-shaped hole. 

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.

Pendant lights are very versatile, and you can almost always find one with your preferred style that accepts your preferred bulb. Today, many fixtures use LED bulbs, though it’s still completely possible to find one that uses halogen, fluorescent, or even old-school incandescent bulbs. The manual that comes with your light should tell what types of bulbs you can use with it.
