"Was having a problem getting my newly installed hi hat lights. Julian diagnosed the problem and corrected the problem quickly. I would definitely recommend Julian to family and friends. I was so impressed with his work, I also asked for an estimate for some more of my electrical needs."

"I usually don't write reviews but I had to give a shout out to these professionals. I encountered some issues with our outdoor patio that was built a few years ago by another contractor. We needed to properly wire electricity by adding an extra panel box and rewiring the whole kitchen since it was done incorrectly by another contractor. Jason was incredible! He was able to get everything fixed and put extra hours to complete the job in a day! I strongly recommend Jason. He is professional, thorough and organized!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience with Max from Amex Electrical for my home electric vehicle charger installation. From start to finish, Max was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient. He explained the entire process clearly, made sure everything was installed safely and up to code, and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. All materials were provided, and the quality of the work was outstanding. The installation was clean, neat, and completed in a timely manner. It’s clear that Max takes pride in his work and truly cares about customer satisfaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled electrician for EV installation at home, I highly recommend Max and Amex Electrical. Five stars all the way!"

"Amazing service. Bernard and Devon came over and installed much needed electrical upgrades to my home. Came over at the time they said they would and completed the work swiftly. The price was more than fair and both electricians acted professionally."

"Mike and his crew were awesome and super friendly. They showed up promptly and stayed on schedule. There work was neat and clean. Very hard working crew. They replaced my electric panel, installed 16 high hats, 3 outlets and 6 smart switches in areas that never had lights so they had to run wiring through existing ceilings. They were very professional and offered recommendations which we went with. I would/will hire them again anytime I need electric work. I highly recommend to anyone!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.

Yes, splicing wires can cause a fire if the splicing is done incorrectly. This is why splicing wires is a task best handled by electricians. One of the most common mistakes made when splicing wires is not using a wire connector. Without a wire connector, electricity flows unsheathed and can result in a home electrical fire.

Yes, electricians must be licensed, certified, and in most cases, insured. Licensing requirements vary by state and local municipality, but most U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. It's always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. Even if licensing is not required in your area, hiring a licensed and experienced electrician often leads to a better end result.

A license is a legal requirement to operate a business and is necessary for pulling project permits. Certifications, on the other hand, are typically voluntary and demonstrate a certain level of expertise. In some cases, a certified electrician may send an apprentice or journeyman to perform the work, but they must operate under a primary electrician who holds the proper license.

Before hiring, you should verify the electrician's license, insurance coverage, and any third-party certifications. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm a pro's license status. Additionally, businesses with the “Angi Approved” badge on our platform meet strict criteria, including having the required state and local licenses, passing a background check, and maintaining a high average rating.
