"Chris & Trin were very professional. Came out prepared to start the work the day I called and requested their advise. There had to be a 2nd trip due to access problems, but they were very honest, sincere, and very accommodating to our needs. I recommend them without reservation. Thank You Allied Electric!"

"I have had the opportunity to work with Dmitriy on a few projects, and I have been thoroughly impressed with his honesty, efficiency, and excellent craftsmanship. Scope of work - replace wooden fence and replace one large post and many cross boards on my 20x30 arbor. He is a true professional who takes pride in his work, and always ensures that his clients are happy with the results. I highly recommend Dmitriy for all your handyman needs!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Wiring can last anywhere from 50 to 70 years, but all kinds of mishaps can occur that reduce the lifespan of your electrical wiring, including severe weather conditions, pests, and even faulty wiring. Keeping a preventative maintenance scheduling and hiring an electrician for an annual electrical inspection will keep your wiring system around for as long as possible.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

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.

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.

Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with an LED fixture, but it must be a dimmer that is compatible with LEDs. Check the manufacturer’s information to ensure the dimmer works with LEDs, as not all dimmers are compatible with them. Many smart light switches accept LEDs, but be sure to read the details on the packaging.
