"He came out right away, was very friendly, and professional. He explained what was wrong and what needed to be fixed after looking at it in a way that was easy to understand. I greatly appreciate his help and the work he did to fix some damaged wires and replacing a fuse so we had a working thermostat and air conditioner. If I need an electrician in the future, I will be calling Prestige Electric!"

"Troy did a great job. He went to a local dealer and picked up my dryer. (The company was going to charge me $50. for delivery. He arrived just when he said he would. We had the wrong hook up for the dryer and went and bought the right one. His price was very reasonable. I would definitely hire him again. I have odd jobs around my home that I need done, and wish I could hire him to do those as well. You won't be unhappy with his service."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. 

Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.
