We are not currently offering smaller electrical services, including outlets, fixtures, running wire or panels for things that are not in the home like rvs or boats. We only service electrical panel upgrades within the home and the average cost for this service is around 5000$ but cost will go up or vary according to scope of project. At Diamond Electrical Contractors, LLC our training and experience is second to none. For electrical work you can trust, call the professionals at Diamond Electrical Contractors today!

"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work performed by Diamond Electric during a recent electrical service upgrade at our property. From start to finish, the entire crew demonstrated professionalism, punctuality, and exceptional craftsmanship. They arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed the work efficiently and safely. What stood out most was their attention to detail—even the smallest aspects of the job were handled with care and precision. It’s not often that you come across contractors who combine technical expertise with such a strong commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. I would not hesitate to work with them again, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of electrical work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Although homeowners can turn off a breaker, it’s vital to follow safety precautions when doing so to prevent serious and potentially fatal injuries. For instance, you want to ensure there is no water on the floor when you touch the breaker and wear protective gear such as safety glasses. Anytime you deal with anything electrical, it’s always best to be as safe as possible.

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

Yes, GFCI breakers are required for all outdoor outlets. This code requirement applies to all outlets located on balconies, decks, patios, and other outdoor lounge spaces. In addition, outdoor outlets need to have watertight covers that provide protection when cords are plugged in. If you have an older home that may not be up to code, it's a good idea to also ask your electrician about adding GFCIs to some indoor areas. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and any other areas of a home that are commonly exposed to moisture should have GCFI breakers.

Three-way switches work in pairs, allowing an operator to control a single light or series of lights from two separate switch locations. Most often, a three-way switch controls a light or light series in a single room.

Yes, you can get shocked while using a multimeter if:

  • You touch the metal tip while testing a live current.

  • The meter isn’t properly rated for the voltage.

  • The meter picks up on transient voltage that’s above the range you’ve set.

  • The meter has defective parts.

You can prevent shock and personal injury by using a multimeter properly and maintaining your device. 

If you’re unsure how to use a multimeter or want help with your project, contact a local electrician to get the job done.
