"Eric was very patient as we worked through what we wanted. We had an RV plug and EV charger installed outside. There were some missteps along the way, but he always ensured to follow up and got it all working. I would call him again if I need something electrical in the future."

"When my husband and I decided we were going to make our house our forever home we knew right away that we needed an expert to remodel it. Like many, we decided it was in our best interest to start small and within our budget. We contacted Harris Renovations and they have been with us through each of our remodeling projects since then. Three projects down with one to go and we would not use anyone other than Harris Renovations. While my husband may think there are more important items to discuss when reviewing Harris Renovation; I am going to focus on the personal care provided by Wendy and Casey. Even before our project was scheduled to begin Wendy went above and beyond to make me feel like my project was the ONLY project that mattered. When I had a question regarding anything regarding our current remodel I was able to quickly text or email Wendy and she was very quick to reply. She quickly picked up on our style and as silly as it sounds she realized the importance of accommodating our cats in our remodel. She was also able to provide excellent options for us when it came to lighting fixtures as well as recommendations on appliances and the faucet. I even went as far as getting her input on the dining room table I was searching for. Wendy is amazing to work with I guarantee she will not let you down. I truly appreciate the attention to detail provided by Casey and his crew. Casey was great about noticing things that we would have never considered. While remodeling our laundry he noticed that the pipes to the washer and dryer required repair. He made sure that we were aware of those types of issues and even replaced them. My husband was most impressed with the fact that Casey and his crew noticed a need for an external electrical outlet when remodeling our kitchen and one day we came home to find the outlet in place and ready to be used. We have one remodel project left in our house -the dreaded bathroom. We will be using Harris Renovations to complete the final project, knowing that we are in good hands. Once the house is finally complete we plan on using Harris Renovations to remodel the office of our family business."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Technically, an outdoor outlet can be on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, but it's generally not recommended. Outdoor outlets should ideally be on a dedicated circuit that doesn't share power with other indoor or outdoor outlets. This helps ensure that the outdoor outlets are able to handle the additional electrical load without overloading the circuit. Additionally, outdoor outlets are often exposed to the elements, which can increase the risk of electrical shock and other hazards. If you must have an outdoor outlet on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, be sure that the circuit has the capacity to handle the additional load.

Grounding an electrical outlet can take as little as 30 minutes if you only need to replace the outlet or around two hours if you need to add a ground wire. However, more extensive electrical work will take longer, such as hiring an electrician to ground multiple outlets during the same service.

Heated floors use less electricity than traditional heating systems. The average electric bill for running radiant floor heating nonstop is around $3 per day. For example, a 1,500-watt electric space heater costs around $4.80 per day, a 27,000-BTU electric boiler costs around $6.25 per day, and a 100,000-BTU electric heater costs $46 per day.

Yes, if something sparks when you plug it in or turn it on, it's important to unplug it immediately. A spark from an electrical appliance or device could indicate a short circuit, damaged wiring, or other electrical problems that could cause electrical fires or electrical shock. By unplugging the appliance, you can reduce the risk of electrical hazards and prevent damage to the device itself. It's important to avoid using the appliance until it has been inspected and repaired by a licensed professional to ensure that it’s safe to use.

If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.
