We offer out lying areas the ability to reduce or waive travel costs if they get friends together and are able to fill 1+ days in their area. Spring Creek, Elko, Lamoile, Adobe Heights and Carlin have no travel costs. Free Estimates are offered for one or multiple projects. We do not give verbal estimates. We like to take time and write up an estimate that includes all materials and labor times that take everything into account, including issues that may arise during the job. We bid extra time to compensate for unforseen issues. Due to the extra time we dedicate to our estimates though we are able to garentee that we will Never go more than 10% above our estimate. Typically our jobs take less time and fewer materials causing our estimates to come in below the estimated price and time. Giving you a good suprise at the end. Free Consultations are provided to let clients know if we can take care of their project (Whether we have the needed skills and the proper licensing). If we are not capable we inform the client of other businesses that can help them. We keep business cards for competitor handymen who are licensed that have differing skills then our own, as well as various lisensed contractors who we think will be willing and able to help the client.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Your outlet should be a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These outlets will cut power off in the case of an electrical fire, keeping your home and family safe. Extension cords can also be GFCIs. A local electrician can replace older outlets with GFCIs, if necessary.

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

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. 

Local electricians with experience in your area understand the local building codes, which is very important when doing new electrical work. They also have experience with the kind of electrical problems homes in your location may have, and even the components that were used in the original construction, which leads them to make faster and better decisions.

Any light bulbs made from toxic materials, such as CFL bulbs and fluorescent light tubes, should not be thrown in the garbage. These bulbs need to be sent to hazardous waste collection sites run by your municipality or sent through a specialized mail-back recycling program. Earth911 allows you to search and find a recycling location near you.
