"I have a very good impression of Mr. Morton and appreciate his efficiency and speed in getting my generator back in service. I have asked him to put me on his list for a yearly evaluation. I am trusting that the next time there is a power failure my generator will be back in operation."

"I hired Prime Sine Electric LLC for a complete new electrical service and wiring on our 1937 home when purchased. It was in need of a complete gut-job. Spence did an amazing job bringing it up to today's standards. I mean, totally amazing transformation. Spence was professional the entire time through the quote process, customer service and final completion. He listened to our needs and gave input and helped us with planning the electrical needs of this old house. We can't recommend Spence enough and would hire him again in an instant."

"As first-time homebuyers, finding an electrician was stressful. We compared many quotes, but at the first estimate Derrick's confidence and knowledge earned our trust right away. He installed lights in our living room, all 3 bedrooms, added dimmers, and ran dedicated circuits with waterproof outlets for our bidets. He handled the permit and inspection, always told us what he was doing before starting, communicated quickly, and was very flexible. It's very impressive that he started working around 6am, super hard working! The details really stood out. He used a laser to line up the 6 living room lights perfectly, and matched all the bulb colors without us asking. The room looks so much brighter and more fancy now. Upgrading to dimmers was a thoughtful touch too. Derrick is honest, responsible, and just a really nice guy. It's rare to make a friend through a house project! We'll be recommending him to all our family and friends. Highly recommend! ❤️"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

If your plug feels hot to the touch, it’s likely a sign of an electrical issue that needs immediate attention. Check for signs of melting or discoloration around the plug, as well as any burning smells or smoke. If you notice any of these signs, immediately unplug any devices and do not use the outlet again until it’s been inspected by a qualified electrician.

A two-way switch is also called a single-pole or single-throw switch. These switches only have an on-and-off function and only control a single light or series of lights wired together. A three-way switch has no “on” or "off” position and works with a second switch in the circuit to control a single light or light series from two locations.

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.

You're in luck, because replacing a breaker panel is not a regular occurrence that most homeowners have to worry about. Electrical breaker panels last 25 to 40 years, assuming you properly maintain your system and conduct annual inspections. Factors like load demand and exposure to the elements slightly reduce a breaker panel’s lifespan.

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit.
