"Outstanding, Marty helped us troubleshoot why we lost electricity in two rooms. He was always upfront with the potential causes and gave us options to correct. This is our second time hiring Marty and definitely won't be the last. Professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced."

Customers say: True professional

"Scott is excellent to work with in all aspects of electrical. I am a general contractor and Moses Electric has done all my electrical for the past 12yrs. I look to no one else. From the non working outlet or switch, to service upgrades, underground work, data, fire alarm panels, low voltage, new construction, remodeling, troubleshooting, all the way to 3 phase industrial and commercial work. Scott has been along side me for all aspects of the electrical work and never skipped a beat. I have full confidence to refer Moses Electric to my own clients, friends and family. Knowing when I pass his name along it will not come back to me with a negative effect. Always happy clients every time, in addition to being clean in all aspects of presentation and workmanship. I am not biased because I am in the trades. We rely on referrals and relationships to provide our living so there is no benefit to saying what isn't true. I highly recommend Scott and Moses Electric for any of your electrical needs. He makes the process easy and seamless."

"Arete’s team was incredibly professional and efficient. They completed my HVAC job in a timely manner and beat competitor’s pricing. Their team was very respectful of my home and even wiped the floor after each day’s work. Every member of the team was kind and respectful. Will certainly work with them again in the future for any of my HVAC/electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Smart light switches are designed to work with most traditional light fixtures and wiring. However, there are several compatibility factors to consider. Some smart switches require a neutral wire to function, which may not be present in older homes (typically built before 1985). If you plan to use a dimming feature, ensure your LED bulbs are specifically the dimmable type. Additionally, a stable Wi-Fi connection is necessary for remote control, though some models may use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible smart home hub.

It depends on where you live. Some cities may require a permit for electrical work, while others don’t. You’ll need to call your city’s building department to determine if you’ll need to apply for a permit or not. If a permit is required, you’ll likely have to pay a fee for it. 

The copper wire used in knob and tube wiring systems can last up to 100 years. However, it’s considered a dangerous and outdated wiring method because the cloth, fabric, or rubber insulation sheathing can become brittle and fall apart. Knob and tube wiring systems should be inspected if you’re considering buying a home with this type of wiring, or if you have problems with frequently tripping breakers, a sign that you may need to replace them.

While you might not need to put lights and outlets on separate circuits, some local codes may require that you use separate circuits. Installing a separate circuit helps prevent total darkness in your home when your receptacle outlets take on too much power and blow a fuse or trip the breaker. It also costs less and is easier to simply install a new circuit.

Both can and canless lights have distinct advantages, and the better option depends on your specific needs and preferences. Canless lights are often preferred for modern homes due to their slim, low-profile design, energy efficiency, and ability to fit in tight spaces with less ceiling depth required. Can lights, or traditional recessed lights, provide a classic look and may be better for high ceilings or areas that need stronger, more focused light. While they can be durable, they typically require more ceiling space and installation work. Ultimately, you should choose canless lights for a modern look and energy savings, or opt for can lights for a traditional aesthetic and robust lighting in larger spaces.
