"Nathan of N3 Electrical Service did an amazing job for us. He was always prompt, communicated effectively and did a quality job. He installed a new 200 amp panel and new wiring for a kitchen remodel. Once the project was completed, the county inspector even complimented the quality of the work"

"Great experience! Showed up the day after posted the project. We had an electrical problem in the garage that a handyman couldn't figure out. Great communication, very friendly and professional. Described the cost prior to coming out. Was patient in looking for the problem. Found the problem (it was a faulty outdoor plug that knocked out the garage door openers). Fixed the problem and replaced another outdoor plug. Great experience-highly recommend."

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"Very pleased with his work and prices and was very prompt from the time I talked to him initially to getting the unit ordered and getting it installed. Cleaned up after and hauled off old unit. Would recommend him to anyone looking to replace their old havc equipment. R Stafford"
Framing the support structure for a second-story deck addition. Pressure-treated posts and beams being installed to extend the outdoor living space and reinforce structural integrity. Project located in a residential backyard setting with access to existing patio slab.
We replaced an aging, inefficient HVAC unit with a new high-efficiency system to improve cooling performance and energy savings. The original unit was outdated, sitting low to the ground, with declining performance and airflow issues caused by poor drainage and landscaping.
In-progress installation of a high-efficiency air handler and furnace system. Wiring in place, connected to updated ductwork with adjacent water heater visible. Clean layout and spacing prepared for final paneling and system test.
Wall-mounted mini-split indoor head unit installed in an unfinished insulated wall. This high-efficiency ductless system provides both heating and cooling for zoned comfort.
Vintage mechanical thermostat from an early 1900s home. A visual reminder of how much heating and cooling technology has advanced. We specialize in upgrading outdated systems with smart, programmable thermostats to improve comfort and efficiency.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For most applications, you won’t need a neutral for 240V. There are certain codes and regulations that differ between areas so just because you technically may not need one in order for the device to function properly, it may still be a local requirement. Professionals in your area know the requirements, which is just another reason to hire one instead of taking on a project that is frankly not very DIY-friendly.

A multimeter does not measure frequency, charge, inductance, and other electrical quantities. Instead, it measures voltage (AC and DC), current, and resistance.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

People who have experienced blown fuse have occasionally tried to fix the problem by placing copper pennies in the fuse box. While they are good conductors of electricity and can seemingly “fix” the issue,  they don’t protect against short circuits or fires. Putting pennies in a fuse box is dangerous—the best solution is to call a professional electrician to fix the problem.

A voltmeter measures the voltage of AC or DC electrical current. Unlike a multimeter, measuring voltage is a voltmeter’s only function. Voltage is the potential difference between two points within a circuit. Measuring voltage with a voltmeter can help identify wiring issues or determine whether a battery is dead.
