"The guys did a great job! They installed the two attic outlets during the hottest weekend in the summer and our attic is not climate controlled by any stretch! For the bathroom fan and vent, they suggested an all in one fan and vent instead of cutting a second hole in the ceiling which i really appreciated! This made it necessary for them to come back another day since they needed to pick up the right size light/vent. Ref The replacement vanity light they called me to let me know that they would have to punch a hole in the drywall to do the wiring properly and that I would need to paint. They didn't just go ahead and do it which i also appreciated! Very professional. They discussed various options for venting the bathroom fan since i did not want them to punch another hole in our brand new roof. They did this without grumbling. Both the receptionist and the electricians' communication was stellar as they kept me posted on what was happening. Both times they came i was out of town and i felt comfortable leaving them alone in my home. The improvements they made to our home made it more functional, safer and more beautiful. I trust and highly recommend Wire Wiz."

"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!"

"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

In general, 200 amps is enough for a house with a square footage of up to 1,800, or the average three-bedroom home. A 200-amp service allows your home to warm and cool itself while running multiple appliances at once. It's a good option for homes that have been extended, or after adding new appliances. 200-amp service is the current standard for homes, so in most cases, it will work for you.

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

There are three main wires on a doorbell, typically color-coded white, black, and green, that are connected to a transformer box in your home. One wire runs to the doorbell button, another wire runs to the door chime, and the third wire runs between the doorbell button and the door chime.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.
