"We had JEK install some pendent lights in our kitchen and a backup generator for the house, and they did an awesome job! JEK is super reliable, always showed up when they said they would, and really paid attention to the little details. Everything looks great and works perfectly. You can tell they take their work seriously and want to make sure it’s done right. Would definitely call them again and recommend them to anyone needing electrical work."

"Drew was very personable and was willing to work within my budget. I had called around and gone over my electrical issue with several other companies who insisted I needed to completely upgrade the service which would have cost me over double what I ended up paying with Sundberg. He couldâ ve told me the same thing as the other companies but instead walked through the exact issues and suggested something that completely eliminated my original issue while saving me money. We had another completely unrelated electrical issue pop up shortly after and he was able to fix it within a few days of us contacting him. We will use Sundberg for all our future electrical work!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you encounter any issues or feel unsure about your abilities, stop immediately and contact a licensed electrician for help. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to electrical work, as mistakes during the wiring process can be hazardous to your home and personal safety.

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.

Outdoor outlets should be at least 15-amp, but preferably 20-amp. The exact rating will depend on the electrical load of the devices that will be plugged into the outlet and the capacity of the circuit. It's important not to overload the circuit, which can cause safety hazards such as tripped breakers or electrical fires. In general, a circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended for outdoor outlets, while each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps.

You can test an electric fence with a multimeter, but you’ll need to set the multimeter to the correct voltage measurement—such as alternative current (AC) or direct current (DC) and range—depending on your fence. You can find the voltage type and range in the fence’s user manual.

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.
