"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!"

"Bart Hamilton was very professional. He submitted a written estimate to me, unlike my other two estimates. He answered questions promptly and courteously. Work was completed in a timely manner. Finally, and certainly not least, Hamilton Lightning presented the best value for a complete system. I highly recommend this company."

"I was really concerned knowing I was going to spend thousands of dollars on this project. What a joy to work with a company who was more concerned about me and my project than they are about their interest in it. From the very start, I was quoted a price for what would work best for my residence. They had a chance to try to upsell me but did not even try. I was already familiar with the variety of models. The crews that did the installation were fantastic. Always courteous, always engaging, but always hard working. Coordination with city inspectors and others who had an interest in the project was done extremely well. I really did not even need to be around while the work was done. When it came time for the final payment, the company would not take it until the generator ran a couple of its weekly test cycles and I was completely happy. The owner of the company even helped me with another minor issue I had and would not accept any payment. Besides the workmanship and professionalism this company scored big points in communication. Each time I called or needed a question answered, the owner of the company either called, emailed or texted me very quickly. It seems today, that getting in touch with anyone is a nightmare. Simply put, I would recommend Electrical Service Providers to anyone who need their service. I can assure you they will be my first call for any other projects or services I require. Thanks to Home Advisor for steering me to this company."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

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.

The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
