"First of all Kilowatt Electric was not my first pick... I picked another electrical company and they didn’t show up to their designated appointment with me.. and then when the other company finally did show up they asked to speak to the man of the house.. why I asked? I was the one who called and they spoke with on the phone and I was the one paying... I got no response so I decided that very moment this was not going to work... So on to the next electrical company.. Kilowatt electric I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company,.. first of all to have the owner of the company come out and give me several options on the scope of work that I needed done and keep me in budget was amazing!!! I thought the prices were more than fair hired them on spot, the crew started immediately they were very respectful, courteous, clean and they got the job done on time.. thank you Sam and Kilowatt Electric for giving me hope that there still honest people in business..."

"I have a lot of experience in electricity-related areas so I am quite demanding and critical. Each time I have called Buckingham, scheduling was prompt and the techs were knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough. They arrived on time and in the most recent case came back quickly to resolve an issue that was not clearly their responsibility. I really like dealing with these pros and will recommend them to my neighbors."

"He was on time! Also, he called several days prior to the appointment so we could go over the job requirements. This gave him an idea of what materials were needed. He was extremely professional. He did exactly what I needed done both in my shop and outdoor work. I will be calling Bluegrass Electrical all future electrical projects!!!!"

"Eads Electronic came out to my house several times. They replaced outlets, ran new wire for new outlets, and upgraded my panel. They are quick and professional! I would highly recommend them whether your project was big or small. They are very affordable and I will be using them again."

"Used this company previously and again it was a pleasure from beginning to end. I would give him 10 Stars if I could. Referred William to a close friend of mine and she was just as pleased. We both sleep better during our bad Florida thunderstorms. A friend of mine lost their home due to lightning. They got out just in time couldn’t save anything but their lives barely. I urge all to install lightning rods."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can tell if a breaker is GFCI by looking for a red or yellow test and reset button that you can press in and out. You’ll know if an outlet is GFCI if the red reset button is located in between the two pronged sections.

Most ceiling light fixtures only have a black, white, and green wire, but in some cases, you’ll also find a red wire in the box. This is a second hot wire, like the black wire, and is included for ceiling light kits that have a fan.

You should never wire neutral and ground wires together at a light switch. Not only is it unsafe, but it’s also incorrect. The neutral and ground wires perform separate functions in an electrical circuit and should never be swapped or wired together at a light switch, light, or outlet. 

A piggyback circuit breaker, also known as a tandem or double-stuff breaker, combines two separate circuits into a single slot in a breaker panel. This design allows adding more circuits without a larger panel, making it a space-saving solution. Each breaker in the piggyback unit operates independently, protecting two circuits in one standard breaker slot. This is especially useful in older panels with limited space for additional breakers.

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.
