"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."

"Michael arrived on time and did a terrific job installing new outlets above our cabinets along with a new switch to control them. His work was meticulous, he even vacuumed the work areas and the basement when he was done! Plus, he is such a nice person to talk with. You cannot ask for better, more qualified service, by the nicest people! We would not hesitate to hire WireWiz again for any of our electrical needs. We highly recommend Michael and his team to provide the best electrical expertise along with prompt and courteous service. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed!"

"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!"

"Highly impressed with Joel and his crew. Very professional, easy to work with, reasonable, and did a great job. I ended up with an electrical emergency and Joel came right out to assess and turn off the power. Then he went out of his way to tend to that project first as well as what I had originally hired him for. I would recommend them to anyone who needs anything done. They replaced outdoor light fixtures for us, installed a flood light outdoors, installed an outdoor light, installed an outlet in our media area, cut out ancient lights from around our pool, installed new conduit and wiring for our pool equipment, installed a new pool timer, 2 new outlets by the pool, and made sure it was all safe and grounded out there. Very impressed with their service! Thanks Joel and crew!!"

"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!"

"They went out of their way to help me. Came to my home and fixed my recliner chair when no one else would help me. I have a very expensive medical recliner and the wiring was broken. They came here looked at the problem and fixed it for me. Wonderful gentleman also fixed my outside light for me. Very, very reasonable cost. I will use them for all of my electrical needs."

"We have been very pleased to use Raynor Services for installing new outlets in our home as well as yearly service to our heating system and electrical inspection of our electrical systems. Bob E. just left after inspecting our electric and offering some options for projects we plan next spring. The attention to customer satisfaction from Raynor has been exemplary. We can always reach a live polite person by phone, receive immediate attention, and on-time respectful technicians that clean up after they are done working. Bob E. was professional and yet cheerful and friendly in explaining options and costs to me this morning. Who could ask for anything more? We do pay $19 per month to insure our HVAC and electrical systems are safe and effective. Raynor is our trusted "go-to" company."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.

If you’re outlet isn’t working but the breaker isn’t tripped , that could mean a number of things. First, check if it’s a GFCI outlet, which has added protection so your breakers don’t malfunction. If that’s the case, simply hit the outlet's reset button and see if it works. If it doesn’t, or you don’t have a GFCI outlet, you might have a loose outlet or loose wiring, a damaged breaker, or an overloaded circuit, which would require a dedicated breaker. It’s best to consult with an electrician to diagnose the problem accurately.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician with extensive experience in upgrading electric panels, you must hire a professional for any electrical work. A licensed electrician will make sure your breaker is upgraded safely and in compliance with local codes. Your pro will also take care of any permits and inspections that are needed.
