"Ruban Electric worked with us to coordinate with weather and availability. They arrived on time and went right to work. I did not see any wasted time from either guy. Overall the job was done quickly and efficiently. The price was right and the work was very good. They cleaned up completely when they were done."

"One of three contractors to call me & give me an estimate. His price was much better than the others and more in line with what I thought the job would cost since I was pretty familiar with how long the job would take. It also required 2 visits because the first visit was to disconnect electric and the 2nd was to add 2 outlets & reinstall a light fixture in a new shed. His price was accurate, his work was outstanding, he was on time both visits and he was very pleasant. I will use him again in a heartbeat & would recommend him for any electrical work you need. You will be pleasantly surprised and I feel hi is very honest & capable. I wish I had found him several years ago when I had my service upgraded and a lot of work done. I know I will be using his services again."

"So happy with my experience with DK Electrical. Contacted me quickly to arrange for an estimate and work was scheduled before they left my home after I accepted the price quote. Arrived for the job at the time they stated. They were professional and let me know status as they were completing the work. Coordinated the township inspection. I will definitely contact them again for electrical work."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

No. Do not use a 14-gauge wire on a 20-amp outlet. A certified licensed electrician would know that the National Electrical Code (as per Section 240.4(D) subsection 3) requires 14-gauge wires to be used with a maximum amplitude of 15. Therefore, you should only use 12-gauge wires on 20-amp outlets.

Yes, it’s possible to use a three-way switch as a two-way switch. You can use a three-way switch as a two-way switch by bypassing one of the traveler wires and using only one of the available traveler switch terminals.

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.

Yes, an electrical fire can start even if nothing is plugged into an outlet. While a correctly functioning outlet poses no risk, a fire can be caused by faulty wiring, damaged outlet components, an overloaded circuit, or other electrical problems hidden behind the walls. If you suspect a fault, immediately turn off the circuit breaker and contact a professional electrician to diagnose and repair the issue.

Yes, you can get shocked while using a multimeter if:

  • You touch the metal tip while testing a live current.

  • The meter isn’t properly rated for the voltage.

  • The meter picks up on transient voltage that’s above the range you’ve set.

  • The meter has defective parts.

You can prevent shock and personal injury by using a multimeter properly and maintaining your device. 

If you’re unsure how to use a multimeter or want help with your project, contact a local electrician to get the job done.
