"Ryland did a very thorough, professional job. Ryan and his team of three were at my home on time and did not leave until every detail was attended to. The panel box was labeled, all debris cleaned up, and I was given a lesson on how to use my generator when needed. I am very satisfied!"

"I highly recommend First Class Electric. I called this morning and by 10 am Joey the technician was calling me confirming he was on his way. The operator who made the appointment was very friendly and helpful. The technician Joey was very knowledgeable and friendly. He is an asset to your company! He understood what needed to be done and explained his plan. He made sure I was satisfied and answered every question. I will definitely use this company again but I want Joey to be the technician. Thank You!!!"

"Michael from First Wave Electrical installed an outdoor Charger. He was on time, knew his stuff and did a really wonderful job. I recommend Michael for your electrical needs. I'm looking to bring him back for other electrical fixes around the house. Good value for the money and very organized work ethic which I appreciate a lot."

"I had a small job to replace an aging outdoor electrical outlet. A larger firm never got back to me. I guess the job was too small for them. I contacted John and he replaced it at a reasonable rate. John loves the smaller jobs."

"Tony came on time and gave me a very reasonable estimate on upgrading my electrical panel. I hired them and they were on time, polite and clean after themselves. My panel is in a garage, it was hot and they never complained. They did a great job! I would definitely recommend them and they will be my go to electrician going forward!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

If your outlet is testing fine but keeps tripping, that’s a sign your GFCI outlet is working, but there’s a problem somewhere else. Try plugging in different devices and see if the outlet keeps tripping. If it’s not the appliance that’s causing the issue, it could be a problem in your wiring. Faulty wiring can be a source of electrical fires and other serious problems. We recommend arranging an inspection by an electrician if an outlet appears to be working but keeps tripping.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
