"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."

"They were very friendly and put up with my 3 year old asking 20 questions, and still managed to do high quality work at the same time. They gave me everything I asked for, and were willing to do whatever I wanted and more. I have more projects in the future and plan on hiring Amplified Electric again."

"Tony was right on time, he got to work on my electrical updates right away. When he came across different options for fixing my issues, he gave me the choice to pick which one I wanted. Tony also went out of his way to find the right tools to fit an outlet in a tile backsplash, being careful not to damage any of my tile. I strongly recommend him to anyone in the Elk River/Otsego area."

"Went above and beyond, rerouted our internet to a different coax outlet so we could bring in the antenna feed where we needed it. Kept after the stray voltages until he sussed 'em all out and got us lots of signal, with good (low profile on roof) esthetics. Cleaned up after himself (something another review mentioned as a negative)."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

A standard three-prong electrical outlet typically lasts for about 15 years with normal use and should be replaced accordingly. GFCI outlets may have a longer lifespan of 15 to 25 years. While some outlets can last longer if used infrequently, they can also fail prematurely. Reasons for early failure include poor wiring, an overloaded circuit, improper grounding or installation, or loose plugs. Signs that an outlet is failing include flickering lights, overheating, a discolored or melted faceplate, plugs that fall out easily, or frequently tripping circuit breakers. It is essential to address faulty outlets promptly to avoid safety hazards, especially in homes older than 15 years.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

On average, replacing an electrical breaker panel, such as the Federal Pacific Electrical breaker panel, costs about $1,300. The price range for replacing electrical panels is between $550 and $2,100, depending on your location, the electrical panel’s location, and the extent of the work required to replace the panel. This kind of electrical work is dangerous and should only be done by a licensed electrician.

For many homeowners, sheds are more than storage spaces for tools or lawn care appliances. If you’re thinking about building a work space outdoors or could make your life simpler by running electricity to a spot that’s closer to your yard, it could absolutely be worth the cost.
