"Great electrician. Very honest and reliable. He ran electricity to our shed and installed outlets and lights for us. Highly recommend 👍Great prices for your electrical needs."
"Daniel and Eboni showed up to my house right on time. They ran a new circuit from my back yard (where my panel is located) across my flat roof and into my garage (approx 80 feet). They made one trip for supplies and got all this work done in about 4 hours. The conduit on the roof was all properly supported as well as the 220v receptacle was installed plumb and level. After testing the circuit they cleaned up after themselves and my house was left just like it was before they arrived. They were very professional and informative, they answered all my questions in layman's terms and were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I will definitely be using them again in the future and refer Albuquerque Plumbing Heating & Cooling (and electrical) to all my friends and neighbors. A+++"

"DataBoys has done multiple jobs with me over many years. They are always very professional and timely. I would recommend them for any electrical job."
"Construction R us did a total rehaul of the electrical on our house and they did a stellar job. I found them to be communicative and honest. It's sometimes hard to find pros who do work and who you can trust to give you an honest assessment but this company definitely fits that bill. They also did a great job working around our schedule.
Additionally they patched the dry wall after they were done and they did such a good job texture and colour matching we didn't even need to paint."
"Daemen was an excellent electrician who made the installation experience very pleasant. He was on time and efficient. He did the job well past my expectations. He is very competent and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Daemen at Albuquerque plumbing and heating for any electrical work you need done!"
It depends on where you live. Some cities may require a permit for electrical work, while others don’t. You’ll need to call your city’s building department to determine if you’ll need to apply for a permit or not. If a permit is required, you’ll likely have to pay a fee for it.
A wire stripping tool is the easiest way to strip sheathing or plastic insulation from electrical wires. A self-adjusting wire stripper cuts and removes the sheathing without damaging the core wire.
The common, marked as COM or C, is one of the terminals found in your light switch. It houses the live wire that supplies the input voltage. The other terminals, marked as L1 or L2, are the outputs to the light fixtures. Depending on if you have a one-way or two-way switch, you’ll either have just an L1 terminal or both an L1 and L2 terminal.
A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire.
When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.
There are several indicators that a single-pole switch is bad: the switch is warm or hot to the touch, sparks are sometimes present when turning the switch on or off, you hear a buzzing sound or other weird noise coming from the switch, the connected light flickers when you turn on the switch, and the light doesn't turn on at all with the switch. If you notice any of these, replace the switch or call a pro straight away.
