"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."

"If you need electrical work done, please call J. N. Green Electrical. We started off by calling several companies out to our house to fix what we thought was a minor electrical problem. After three different electricians came out and three different bills, with nothing fixed, we found J.N. Green Electrical on Angie List. We were skeptical at first but said, Let give it a try. Green Electrical was out at our house that same day and was able to fix the problem in no time. They were very professional and charged me less than the other three companies that did not fix the problem. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! They have been our go-to guys ever since!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Removing a fuse from the fuse box is relatively safe under normal circumstances. The task becomes dangerous if wires or wire terminals are exposed or in the case of a disaster such as flooding in the home where water can act as an electrical conductor.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.
