"Ryan called ahead with his arrival time and was prompt, pleasant and professional.  Went to work setting up the Water Heater drain and then inspected faucets, drains and hose connections.  Was able to tighten several areas on two shut off  valves that had been minimally leaking and fixed those problems.  Cleaned up after his work.  Answered all of my questions and adressed any concerns I had about the functioning of the water heater.  Related that they provide 24 hour emergency service.  I would highly recommend this company and would definetly use them again.

"Highly recommended! I had a great experience with Torchia Electric. Alan came out to upgrade my two smart doorbells and went above and beyond. He didn't just install them; he took the time to find the absolute best placement for them. Alan was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He made sure both doorbells were fully functional and working perfectly before he left."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.

The life expectancy of a home electrical panel is typically around 25 to 40 years. However, this can vary based on usage, maintenance, and technological advancements. Regular inspections by a qualified electrician can help determine the condition and potential need for replacement as your panel ages. Factors like overloading, outdated components, or wear and tear might prompt earlier replacements for safety and efficiency reasons.

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. 

There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.

Services by electricians can quickly get expensive, but there are a few ways you can save money in the process:

  • Bundle multiple jobs done at the same time to save on trip fees or flat fees for individual projects.

  • Get at least three quotes for service to find the best deal.

  • Buy fixtures, switches, outlets, and other materials beforehand to avoid product markup.

  • If you feel comfortable with it, have an apprentice or journeyman complete the work under the supervision of a master electrician. These electricians in training tend to charge less per project.
