"Great! Mister Sparky was one of 4 contractors we used for proposals. Of the 4, only two provided electrical and natural gas service included in their estimate. We did not want the hassle of trying to find a plumber to do the gas connection. Mister Sparky provided excellent customer service. The only issue we had was trying to get them to give us an exact time for the first visit - they gave us a window of time - I hate that. I want a time when you are going to be here. But they got here close to the time they said they would be here. They put booties on their feet when they enter your house - appreciate that dirt is not going to be tracked on the floors and carpet. The brand they install is Briggs & Stratton. Our home is only 1500 sf, so we didn't need a really big unit. With their proposal, they also included a house surge protector - a costly item if done alone - to be installed while they had the electric panel apart. We received the estimate on Monday and they installed the unit the following Friday. We were without power longer than expected due to some scheduling and inspection issues, and Mister Sparky gave us some extra service to compensate. They went out of their way to make sure we were a happy customer. The generator unit itself is compact and sounds like a lawn mower when it runs. So, if we get a storm outtage - we're ready!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You don’t need to be an electrician to change a light bulb. You also don’t have to be an electrician to replace a light fixture with another compatible one. But, if you are installing a light fixture for the first time, it’s worth hiring a licensed professional for the job.

While a handyperson may charge a bit less, a qualified professional can make sure everything is up to code and working exactly as it should be. This is especially true for more complicated lighting projects.

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:

  • Are you a full-time electrician?

  • Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?

  • What level of experience do you have as an electrician?

  • Can you please share three references?

  • Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?

  • What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?

  • Will any subcontractors be performing the work?

  • Are permits and inspections required?

  • Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?

  • What is your schedule?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?

If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.
