"I recently had Best Dressed Electric replace my doorbell chime and fix some lighting issues in my home, and I’m extremely satisfied with the service. They were prompt, courteous, and efficiently resolved both issues. The doorbell chime works perfectly now, and the lighting is brighter than ever. I highly recommend them for their excellent workmanship and professionalism. Thank you for your excellent work!"

"Michael was prompt, honest and professional. I would highly tecommend him for all your electrical needs. He took his time making sure that all fixtures are working properly, and when one old wiring didn’t, he went to Home Depot just to find something to make it work. He’s not like other contractors who sugarcoat something just coz they think they’re the expert. Michael was very patient in explaining it to me in layman’s terms. He’s very dependable and very knowledgeable in his craft. Hire him in your next project and you’ll find out that everything that I said here is true. I know I will hire him again soon. Thanks Michael as you are a gem. You are a great asset to your field and I wish you the best of luck!"

"We had a top experience with Star Bright Electric and would highly recommend them. From start to finish, they were professional, polite, and easy to work with. They communicated clearly, showed up prepared, and took the time to clarify any questions before moving forward with the work. The job was completed efficiently and everything was done well. We appreciated that they were respectful of the home, careful with the details, and made sure the work was completed properly. It can be hard to find contractors who are both skilled and pleasant to work with, but Star Bright Electric checked all the boxes. Overall, we were very happy with the experience and plan to use them again for any future electrical work."

"I would highly recommend Ken for electrical work. We had our full electrical panel replaced and service upgraded with him. Before we had it done, we had an issue with the main breaker repeatedly tripping- leaving us without power. He came out the same morning and did a quick fix to hold us over until permitting- we were not without power for long, thanks to him. The panel replacement and service upgrade was not a quick job, but he stayed late until it was finished and we couldn’t be happier with the quality. His prices are reasonable, as well. I will be calling him if we need an electrician in the future!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it is not safe to use an outlet that sparked. A spark from an outlet could indicate a short circuit, loose or frayed wiring, or other serious damage. Continuing to use an outlet that sparks can increase the risk of electrical shock, electrical fires, and other hazards. It's important to turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker if possible and avoid using the outlet until a licensed electrician has inspected and repaired it.

Yes, an AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) outlet also has line and load terminals, although it uses different technology than a GFCI and offers a different kind of protection. AFCIs monitor for internal arc faults, a type of wiring problem that can start an electrical fire.

When removing an old security alarm system, you likely won't need to remove any of the wiring. Wiring can either be left in place for a replacement system or capped off for safety and pushed into the wall. If you're uncomfortable with the wiring, or if it's badly damaged, contact a professional electrician for assistance with safe removal.

Knowing if and when your circuit breaker is failing or faulty can prevent costly damage. If you notice any of the following signs, call a local electrician to help. 

  • The breaker frequently trips

  • The breaker doesn't stay in the 'on' position or reset properly

  • You hear buzzing or humming noises coming from the breaker

  • There's discoloration around the breaker switch

  • There's a burning smell or visible signs of damage on the breaker

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.
