"We contacted Amperage Electric about several electric jobs we needed done around the house. Installing lights in our oldest son's room, lights in the living room, lights in our kitchen, outlets on the exterior, installing a new circuit breaker, and a few other projects around the house. They came out and did everything we asked for and more for a great price that 100% could not be beat. We've recommended them to friends and family and they've came through for them as well. Would recommend them to anyone looking for electric work in Onslow County and the surrounding areas."

"Excellent father and son team replaced old smoke alarms throughout the house and hard wired them with zero damage to ceilings. They showed me how the alarms will work for good peace of mind.

Mr. Electric® is a global franchise organization providing electrical installation and repair services. Recognized by Entrepreneur magazine among its ?Franchise 500,? Mr. Electric franchisees provide these services to both residential and commercial customers at almost 200 locations worldwide. Mr. Electric is a subsidiary of the Neighborly® family of service franchises.

"I originally called Mr. Electric regarding a generator issue I was having. They stated it was likely because I had the connection set up at 30 amps instead of 50 amps. I subsequently asked them to come out and switch my set up from 30 to 50 amps. The technician came and installed one new 4 pole 50 amp breaker, about 6 feet of 6/4 wire, and a 50 amp inlet box. Total for materials when I looked them up online was less than $200. They charged me $884 total. That means they charged me $684 just for labor and the technician was only here for about half an hour. I looked up up the average hourly rate for electricians in my state and it averages about $70/hrs. Even if they charged me for a full hour of labor that means they charge almost 10X the normal rate. I don't know why they scammed be or if this is their normal MO but being a senior citizen this is a hit. AVOID THIS COMPANY!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, a partial power outage without a tripped breaker often means you have a major wiring issue or that the breaker itself is going bad. When the power is out in one room but the breaker is not tripped, you need to call an electrician as soon as possible to identify the cause of the problem and repair it.

Yes, an AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) outlet also has line and load terminals, although it uses different technology than a GFCI and offers a different kind of protection. AFCIs monitor for internal arc faults, a type of wiring problem that can start an electrical fire.

A washer and dryer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet when installed in a laundry room, utility room, garage, or basement with the required water source. These spaces require that all outlets be GFCI-protected. Elsewhere, there is no specific requirement for plugging a washer and dryer into a GFCI outlet. However, you may wish to do so for extra peace of mind.

It's less expensive to run power overhead because it doesn’t require excavation, and the power cables are less costly. However, underground electric service is better protected from weather and general wear and tear, so it’s less likely to get damaged. When determining which way to run power, consult a local electrician to get an expect opinion.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.
