"The Technician arrived on time. He was pleasant and had great customer service. He installed a new kitchen fan unit. Due to a slight flaw in the new unit the installation took a bit longer than expected but he kept me informed every step of the way. The price was very reasonable. I would definitely call them again if I need electrical work."

"Marcello was very honest and fair. His price was reasonable and he did very good work. I had to leave for my job while he was working on my electric panel, and left my home open for him to do his work. He was professional and did not disturb my home in any way. Nice man and very honest. I would have him do more work at my house in a minute"

"I'm very pleased with the work that Odane did to upgrade my panel to 200 amp and install a Chargepoint HomeFlex EV charger. We have an older home, and the panel upgrade was very complex. Odane worked very hard to get everything just right including professionally enclosing the new main wires in PVC conduit ... Even the town electrical inspector was impressed. He's a very meticulous worker and did a great job keeping me informed. He even helped submit some required paperwork to PSEG so that I can qualify for their EV charger incentive program."

"Fabrizio was extremely helpful and prompt. He came out on the same day, diagnosed and repaired a major issue (broken circuit breaker), and fixed several other small problems. He charged an extremely reasonable rate and was very friendly. Highly recommend!"

"Lawrence was extremely responsive. He came the same day that I called him to take a look at the partial power issue in my building. We ended up having to get PSEG involved before we could resolve anything. He came back a 2nd time to meet PSEG the following week. The partial power issue apparently resolved itself that same day that he was present, no actual repair was done. The next day the partial power issue resurfaced. I called Lawrence to see if he had any suggestions, which I executed, but it did not turn the power back on. It was possible that the nor'easter had caused the issue, so I called PSEG to come out again. PSEG confirmed power was running to the building. In the end, I hired a different electrician who figured out the problem was the main which needed to be replaced. Lawrence did give me a reasonable estimate for a different job in the same building. I appreciated the fact that he came the same day I called him, and that he came back several days later to meet with the electric company. I did pay him for coming out both days, but I was a little disappointed that the issue was never resolved."

"JVOLT Electric did an excellent job installing all the lighting for my new construction project. From recessed lights to fixtures, everything was installed with precision and great attention to detail. They helped with placement, made sure everything was evenly spaced, and the final result looks amazing. The lighting really brought the whole space together. The work was clean, organized, and completed on time. You can tell they take pride in their craftsmanship. I highly recommend JVOLT Electric for any lighting installation, especially for new construction projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The common, marked as COM or C, is one of the terminals found in your light switch. It houses the live wire that supplies the input voltage. The other terminals, marked as L1 or L2, are the outputs to the light fixtures. Depending on if you have a one-way or two-way switch, you’ll either have just an L1 terminal or both an L1 and L2 terminal.

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

Leaving lights on raises the electric bill, but not as much as having high-wattage light bulbs. The best way to save on electric costs is to swap your light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs that use far fewer watts. You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

Yes, if something sparks when you plug it in or turn it on, it's important to unplug it immediately. A spark from an electrical appliance or device could indicate a short circuit, damaged wiring, or other electrical problems that could cause electrical fires or electrical shock. By unplugging the appliance, you can reduce the risk of electrical hazards and prevent damage to the device itself. It's important to avoid using the appliance until it has been inspected and repaired by a licensed professional to ensure that it’s safe to use.
