"NexGen electric company is a great choice! The electrician (Hans, the owner) was very prompt in responding to my needs. He s knowledgeable, informative, thorough, professional, and friendly. Although I m not familiar with electrician fees in this area, He took any and all the necessary time and energy to make my home safe which gave me a sense of peace of mind and security in my home....considering the amount of time he spent and all he accomplished, I feel he is very reasonable in his area of expertise. He even went above and beyond in making suggestions, should I desire to follow up on them, that would further keep my home even more safe! Thumbs up to NextGen👍!!! I m thus far, a more than satisfied customer who just happened to choose the right place to go for my electrical repairs/maintenance - greatly appreciated!!!"

"He was really nice and knew what he was doing, but I was a little irritated that when he was cutting the electrical box, it went through my wall on the backside. He didn't reduce the price for the mishap."

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

There are several tools available to help prevent electrical fires. First, ensure that you have GFCI outlets installed in necessary areas, along with an AFCI, which is a circuit breaker that can help prevent arc-faults. Investing in surge protectors is also wise, as they can safeguard your appliances and other items against power surges that may overload your outlet and cause sparking.
