"These men were complete gentlemen with a high knowledge of their profession. Price was inline with their work and estimates were provided before the work was done. They did a complete check of my electrical system (which they did not charge for) and basically did more than I had asked for. Highly recommend this company!"
"Very honest, hard working family business. They do the actual work themselves. They don't contract it to strangers. The invoice was lower than the estimate. Very satisfied."
"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."
"Met with Lyndon Bechtel of Bechtel's Lawncare LLC. Agreed to Price , Scope of Work, and Dates for complete removal of six (6) 70 ft tall 70 and circumference trees in my front yard and complete cleanup of debris on my property and adjacent neighbors. The work involved the cooperation, with prior notice, of Entergy Electric and AT&T to disconnect their lines thru their work order systems. I did not select the option to grind stumps at this time. I am thoroughly satisfied with the cutting and debris removal by Lyndon and his crew in a safe manner without any damage. The completed project was as quoted. Yes, I recommend his services."
If the outlet is a GFCI model, this is normal since these outlets have their own breakers that shut off when they encounter a problem—just hitting the reset button should solve the issue. Otherwise, the outlet could have bad wiring, or your circuit breaker could be having issues. If the issue started out of nowhere and is not on a GFCI outelt, it’s best to contact an electrician to diagnose the issue.
Appliances in your home that need dedicated circuits include:
Refrigerators and chest freezers

Dishwashers and garbage disposals

The NEC prohibits the installation of electrical panels within clothing closets. Closets are filled with flammable items like clothing, mothballs, shoe polish, plastic containers, and exposed light bulbs. If the panel develops a small electrical fire, it won’t take long to bloom into a real disaster. If you have an electrical panel in one of your home’s closets, move it as soon as possible with the help of a professional electrician.
You should always turn off a breaker whenever electrical work is being done. This step can prevent electrical shock and injury. Also, if a breaker is repeatedly tripping, it can mean there is an electrical overload, and it should be shut off. You should contact an electrician to figure out the cause. Make sure to review how to turn off your circuit breaker safely if you do it yourself, and follow safety precautions to avoid severe injuries.
Yes, dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity. However, proper humidity also means your home’s temperature remains more stable, thus lowering heating and air conditioning bills. The good news is you shouldn’t need to use a dehumidifier more than a few months per year, so the energy costs won’t be as noticeable as other larger appliances.
