"John came to the house to provide a verbal estimate and came back timely to provide it in a detailed and signed proposal . He upgraded the entire electrical panel box and upgraded to 200 amps on time for what I considered a fair price based on other estimates I received.. In addition, he fixed a short in a light switch box for me. All work was done timely with no issues and his final price was exactly as indicated in his original estimate. I highly recommend Paulikas Electric and I would use him again for electrician services."

"We had an excellent experience with this electrician at our 120,000 sq ft office building. He came out to perform repairs and upgrades on our electrical systems and delivered truly professional, high‑quality workmanship from start to finish. His knowledge, attention to detail, and clear communication made the entire process smooth and efficient. It’s not easy finding someone who can handle large‑scale commercial electrical work with this level of skill and reliability. He showed up on time, worked safely, and made sure everything was done correctly the first time. I highly recommend him for any commercial or residential electrical needs. Outstanding service and professionalism"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It is possible to change a light fixture by only flipping the light switch, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Exercising extra caution when working with electricity is always important. Take the extra few minutes at your electrical box to cut the power at the circuit breaker. Once you’ve flipped the circuit breaker and the light switch, use a voltage tester to confirm the power has been turned off.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

A correctly installed 3-way switch will not trip a breaker. If using a 3-way switch trips your circuit breaker, the ground wire might be touching something it should not be, there could be a short in the wiring, a wire could be loose, or the wrong wires are connected to the wrong locations on the switch. If you cannot easily see the problem, such as a loose wire, contact an electrician to fix the issue.

Removing a fuse from the fuse box is relatively safe under normal circumstances. The task becomes dangerous if wires or wire terminals are exposed or in the case of a disaster such as flooding in the home where water can act as an electrical conductor.
