"Excellent electrical contractor. They installed electrical sub-panel in my basement and then ran wire safely to install electrical vehicle charging station in my garage. They took care of the project completely including the township permit work. They also provided paid invoice receipt after the completion of the job. Very professional, on-time, perfect and very clean work. They finished the job in few hours and also tested my both the electrical vehicles with the newly installed charger. I highly recommend this company. I provide 5-star rating to this company."

"My experience with Apollo Electric was wonderful. I needed some normal electrical work done, and also some detailed more involved work. He handled everything with care as if it was his own home. He was very detailed oriented, neat, clean and very honest. Mike worked hard during the entirety of the job, I was very pleased and I would call him for any job I need involving electrical work for the future"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The purpose of pigtail wiring is to connect multiple wires to a single terminal on a device. Pigtailing involves splicing a short length of wire, called a pigtail, into the multiple wires that need to be connected. The pigtail wire is then connected to the single terminal on the device, allowing all of the wires to be connected at once. This practice helps to simplify the wiring process, reduce clutter, and ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Soldering is a reliable and durable way to connect wires, but it isn't the only method. Nowadays, professionals often crimp the connection instead—although this requires a higher degree of skill than soldering.

Often, simply looking at a Christmas light fuse will reveal whether it’s blown or not. Dark staining inside the glass that looks like a burn mark means the fuse has blown. If a burn mark isn’t evident, visually inspect the fuse for an intact filament inside. The fuse is no longer usable if the filament is broken or appears non-existent.  

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.
