"I recently hired Bullseyefor some electrical work, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the communication was clear, the service was prompt, and the work was top-notch. They handled everything professionally and made sure the job was done safely and efficiently. It's rare to find a company that combines quality work with great customer service, but they nailed both. I’ll definitely be using them again for any future electrical needs and recommending them to friends and family!"

"Carlos did an amazing job installing and professionally concealing the wiring for our TV mount. He was quick to respond, provided a fast turnaround, and did an excellent job from start to finish. We provide therapy services to children with autism, so it was especially important that the work was completed respectfully and with minimal disruption to our clients. Carlos was incredibly considerate of the environment and worked around our clients and staff without any issues. We couldn?t be happier with the quality of his work and professionalism. Highly recommend Carlos!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

A pigtail is the only safe way to connect an electrical device to more than one circuit wire. Connecting multiple wires to a single screw terminal is extremely dangerous and must never be done. Many electricians will opt for pigtails even when there are multiple screw terminals available so that the device in question won’t halt the flow of downstream current when a problem arises. 

Replacing the panel itself takes four to eight hours of work by a professional. However, if associated wiring and related components also require replacement, the labor time increases to 20 to 30 hours. Your electrician can speed up the process by bringing in a team of pros to handle ancillary tasks.

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

Yes, you can get shocked while using a multimeter if:

  • You touch the metal tip while testing a live current.

  • The meter isn’t properly rated for the voltage.

  • The meter picks up on transient voltage that’s above the range you’ve set.

  • The meter has defective parts.

You can prevent shock and personal injury by using a multimeter properly and maintaining your device. 

If you’re unsure how to use a multimeter or want help with your project, contact a local electrician to get the job done.

Old electrical systems may have more problems than newer ones. In some cases, like if your home has aluminum wiring, it may be necessary to update your electrical system. You should also update your home’s wiring if it still has knob and tube wiring, which is considered dangerous by modern building standards. If that applies to you, get in touch with an electrical professional near you to obtain a quote.
