"When we purchased our plug in hybrid vehicle, the manager at the dealership asked if we planned on having a charging station installed at home. When we told him yes, he recommended Vinesett and provided his contact information. He was very responsive to emails and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and how to do it. The day of the installation he was on time and performed the installation impeccably and was sure to keep us updated throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Vinesett Electrical for any of your electrical needs."

"This was the best electrical service company we could have chosen. They were professional, they were friendly. They gave us the details and facts and did not try to sell us anything we did not need, but instead gave us options and explained things very clearly. ALB scheduled us immediately, they arrived the next morning with plenty of crew and had the issue fixed within 2hours. I have never been more impressed with how professional and punctual they were. When the job was done they made sure to come back out wait for the inspector. They helped us get in touch with the power company and had our power back on the SAME day. I will suggest and recommend ALB for all our electrical work in our home. They were affordable and reasonable. Thank you ALB."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.

If a 3-way switch is wired incorrectly, this can cause several issues. The most common problem is that the switches will not function properly: Either both switches won’t work, or only one will. Another issue is that one switch will trigger a short circuit, tripping the circuit breaker.

Yes, it’s possible to use a three-way switch as a two-way switch. You can use a three-way switch as a two-way switch by bypassing one of the traveler wires and using only one of the available traveler switch terminals.

A weatherhead, the meter base, the breaker box, and a meter panel are all vital components of a working meter riser. If one part of the system is faulty, it could damage other parts, so consider having an electrician inspect the entire unit. The cost to replace the meter panel alone may cost $500 to $1,000, so consider this in your budget for replacing the meter riser.

Before hiring an electrician, check out the contractor’s official website, read reviews, and look them up on your local Department of Labor’s website. If you’re hiring for a complex job, pay special attention to their level of expertise. Also, call up pros directly to ask about their insurance status, specifically liability insurance, and request customer references.
