"This was easily the best experience I've had in Alamogordo with any, and I mean ANY home repair company.  Between electric work and plumbing I've recently dealt with four companies (my house has all but fell apart), and Rufus Electric was honestly the only company I can say was an A+ to deal with.  
We lost electricity to half of our house, and after working with Miranda Electric, I figured I'd try someone else.  First of all, Rufus tried to help me out over the phone with my problem, which would have benefited them zilch had their prescription have worked.  That was awesome.  Second, they showed up about four minutes (literally, four freakin' minutes) after I got off the phone with them to diagnose my problem.  After they figured out it wasn't a breaker problem, they let me know they had a full plate for the next couple days, but that they'd be back to fix it.  They showed up two days later, fixed the problem, and only charged me $50!  I spent $80 to have Miranda Electric fix an outlet!!!!  I know where I'm going for any electrical work.  Seriously, take your business to Rufus Electric.  They're nice, relaxed, fair, and I can't recommend them enough.

"My house was under construction. and had already gotten struck by lightning so time was critical as I knew it could happen again. I have a home with tall roof peaks and built on a hill. They came out quickly and started right away and their prices were way less than the other company s. I will use them again when my barn is constructed."

"Was referred to chad from a friend, he was very helpful on what I needed to know and also discussed my roof age and the scenarios of waiting to re roof in 2 years or doing it with the solar. I have yet to get a utility bill and my connection fee is zero due to the credits I build up. Anyone thinking got going solar to save $ reach out to chad. Excellent experience."

"Aside from the delay in making an appointment, everything went smoothly.  He arrived exactly on time and cleaned up afterwards. One edge of the drywall did  not hit the stud so he worked with  a leftover piece of wood  I had  to fix that problem.  All other materials were provided by them.  The gap on the adjoining wall (between the wall and the garage door) was also covered.  Overall I was very pleased with the work.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you strictly adhere to electrical safety rules, including assuming that a circuit is hot until proven otherwise, and have some knowledge of how an electrical circuit works, you can likely replace a light switch by yourself without too much trouble. However, it's always advisable to call a nearby electrical pro to do the job if you're unsure of any steps necessary to change a light switch. 

When combined with a substantial solar system, if you have enough Powerwalls, you could go off-grid and be energy independent. But remember, you'd need enough Powerwalls to power your whole home continuously because a single Powerwall can’t power large appliances for extended periods. One Powerwall is able to power an average-sized home's emergency circuits, lights, and outlets. To power large appliances, you likely need two or three Powerwalls.

Most upgrades take 1-5 days, depending on building size and wiring complexity.

You can determine whether you have a double-pole switch by examining its wiring. Unlike single-pole switches, which have two brass-colored terminals, double-pole switches feature four. These switches are typically only found near high-powered appliances such as electric furnaces or water heaters. If you’re unsure what type of switch you have, contact a local electrician to confirm.

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.
