"On the day of our appointment, Charlie and Ron called to ask if they could arrive early for our appointment, which was fine with us. Charlie and Ron were friendly, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions and explained the work they would be doing based upon our work order. The work was accomplished in a timely, professional manner. The security lights were tested and adjusted accordingly as well as the installation of the 3-wire switches. The 220-line to the spa electric panel was safely capped and per our request, the electric panel was left attached to the side of our deck for future use. We are happy to give Shay Weimann Electric our highest recommendation and we will definitely be using them for all of our future electrical work."

So I looked around for some time I interview few contractors and was not sure but luckily Tom was recommended by one of my friends I interviewed him and was very much satisfied impressed by the answers and knowledge of what needed to be done. We shocked hands and complete the form to get the permit from the township no issue everything was fine. He showed do the job in time. The job was done very quickly and clean . The inspection passed the electrical work and the laid out of the cable and panel. With complement for the electrical inspector. I receive Communication from the electrical company that they will connect the electrical wire to the house. Thank Tom I almost forgot the price for the work was less than the other’s contractor. I recommend Contaldi electrical contractor. And gives them my genuine thanks I know that because of Tom work I would have electricity. Thank"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

Yes, electricians must be licensed, certified, and in most cases, insured. Licensing requirements vary by state and local municipality, but most U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. It's always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. Even if licensing is not required in your area, hiring a licensed and experienced electrician often leads to a better end result.

A license is a legal requirement to operate a business and is necessary for pulling project permits. Certifications, on the other hand, are typically voluntary and demonstrate a certain level of expertise. In some cases, a certified electrician may send an apprentice or journeyman to perform the work, but they must operate under a primary electrician who holds the proper license.

Before hiring, you should verify the electrician's license, insurance coverage, and any third-party certifications. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm a pro's license status. Additionally, businesses with the “Angi Approved” badge on our platform meet strict criteria, including having the required state and local licenses, passing a background check, and maintaining a high average rating.

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.

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.

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.
