"We talked on phone first to help him diagnose the problem. He then checked back in with me. He is very knowledgeable in all things electric. He helped us out at the drop of s dime. He was very fast. Fixed our problems. We do have to have more electrical work done. He is our electrician for all things. He knew exactly what the problem was. Alan Came very fast & fixed it. I've had 2 other "electricians" that couldn't figure the problem out. Alan was courteous, kind and professional. He genuinely cares about the safety of his customers. We highly recommend him for ALL things electrical!"

"We were very pleased with the entire process of our project. There was a lot of labor involved, but the work was always completed in a time-efficient and professional manner. We obtained a permit prior to starting our electrical project, and we were thrilled to pass every inspection. We would definitely recommend AddAwire!"

"I was incredibly pleased with all aspects of the work done by Kreiser electric. Chris Kreiser gave me options at several price points, but also made a recommendation to upgrade my electrical service in my beach house. His justification for the upgrade was sound, and the quote was reasonable. During the work, several issues arose as my house is quite "rustic", built before many electrical code changes. We also experienced scheduling challenges with the local power company. Through it all, Chris was calm and very communicative, and always had a fallback option that would make sure power would be restored as soon as possible. Overall I could not be more pleased by the work done by Kreiser Electric. Chris Kreiser clearly cares about the customer."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches, often due to loose connections, exposed wiring, or overheating, can cause sparking or arcing. If you hear a crackling, popping, or hissing sound when you use the switch, it indicates live electricity arcing inside, which is a significant hazard that can ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, turn off the power to that circuit at the breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet. 

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.
