"We had an issue in our house, with some of our electricity being off and some remaining on. we were told, on the phone, that it could be one of a few things. Don and Pat came the next day, promptly at the time we were told. They checked out the system and told us that it was a line issue. Don told us that PSE&G should take the amount of his bill off our electrical bill. His bill was reasonable, even if we weren't able to have it deducted. We would hire DLP again."

"Frank and Anthony came out in the snow ahead of our scheduled time. Called before arriving and did an amazing job. I had a number of other contractors look at the job, had to called them several times just to get a quote. Schweiger Electric was able to give me a price over the phone, set up a time, came when expected,and then did more than expected. Super happy to have found this company, and glad to have finally found someone I can count on and trust for electrical repairs. Awesome experience and great quality of service."

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

Different fences use different amounts of electricity, but their operating costs are very low overall. Electric fences pull between 4 and 25 watts from the system if you have an average-sized yard. Barring any complicated math, you can expect an average electric fence to cost less than $5 a month to run. Aboveground electric fences, which are not typical for residential use or small animals, can cost more, but you shouldn't notice a significant change in your electric bill. 

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

Running conduits through an exterior wall is an effective method for powering outdoor spaces. From gardens to sheds to garages and more, it can be important to have electricity outdoors. Using conduit, which safely covers wires outdoors, is an easy way to get power where homeowners need it.

Basic smart light switches are available for as little as $20. If you can install them yourself, it’s a home upgrade that won’t break the bank. Many homeowners view them as a worthwhile investment for the additional convenience and security they can offer. However, they are a little more tricky to install than standard light switches, so if you don’t have the electrical knowledge to do a DIY job, unless you need a lighting upgrade, remember these are a nice-to-have rather than a necessary purchase.
