"Dyle Westman did a neat and competent job. He worked well with me as unexpected complications arose in our older home. His quote for an uncomplicated TV cable run was greater than the estimate for the 5 hours of electrical work which surprised me even after he explained it; we agreed to cut it out of the contract. Overall the cost of the job, which I thought was a little high, was outweighed by quality and timeliness. This automated Web assessment tool shows the name Joe McCauley whom I am not able to rate."

"Shout out to Kevin he was on time, very courteous, knew exactly what I needed and was quick about it. Checked and updated older electrical panel in a loft and inspected and tweaked outlets. On board to install fixtures which were delayed and so I had to make another appointment. All good. I recommended to friends and family. Pricing very fair and will go-to anytime I need further electrical services."

"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!"

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, standard dimmer switches should never be used to control a ceiling fan motor. They’re designed for lighting, not motors, and they can cause humming, overheating, or permanent damage. You should only use switches that are specifically labeled for fan speed control.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

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 life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.
