"They fixed a potential hazardous issue with my wiring, added a new plug in my garage, and balanced my electrical load, which fixed a lot of problems with fuses blowing and power dips. Excellent work, highly recommended!"

"WOW!!! I received a call from Randy within minutes of requesting quotes from local electricians. He was very pleasant, friendly and smart as all get out. What do I appreciate the most? Randy listened, asked questions and gave me a verbal solution to the smoke detector issue that was driving this family up the walls. Who does that? Randy does!!! Did I mention WOW!!!? Randy is amazing! He also gave me a great quote, along with some great information, regarding my kitchen light fixture. I'm so excited to be scheduling with Randy in the near future. In my book, Randy/Bretco Electric Company is "The Answer" to all things electrical. He has even earned a placed at our table for Christmas dinner and I'm almost grateful enough to actually cook...lol Where is the option for an A+++ rating?"

I chose to work in this industry because I was always interested in electrical, and was offered to enroll in an apprenticeship program with my first electric company in Nashville, TN. It was mostly a commercial company. There I gained lots of valuable knowledge. After graduating from the 4 year trade school I became a foreman. Then moved back to Dallas TX to work for a residential service company. I also enjoyed this aspect of electrical. There is more troubleshooting involved. The owner of this company taught me a lot and we still keep in touch. Then I moved to North Carolina to pursue my own business. I can do most commercial and residential projects. I look forward to hearing from you.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

Many homes have a 200-amp service, which requires a 2-inch electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For 400-amp service, opt for a 4-inch electrical meter riser.

To avoid drilling into wire, you will need to trace your home's wiring using a stud finder, wire detector, circuit tracer, or voltage finder. Since locating wires in your home can be difficult for some homeowners, hire a professional electrician with the experience and knowledge needed to safely handle electrical systems before drilling into any walls in your home.

While you can technically live in a home while it's being rewired, prepare for some debris and dust if your electrical contractor needs to remove parts of walls, floors, and ceilings to access wires. If you stay home during the project, ask your electrician to cut the power supply to all exposed electrical wires to keep your family safe.

Yes, a bad switch can cause other outlets not to work. If the switch is part of a circuit that controls multiple outlets, a fault in the switch can disrupt the entire circuit. It can happen if the switch is wired incorrectly, has a loose connection, or is damaged. Fixing or replacing the faulty switch can often restore power to the affected outlets
