"Marcus did a great job, figured out my electrical problems, put up 2 ceiling fans, added an electrical outlet in my garage. Also cleaned up everything and moved back everything he touched. He was a very pleasant person and explained everything he was doing. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him and Photon electric again. Thank you Beverly"

"Singh was super responsive when I needed help with my mom electricity at her house. We did not end up needing him because the lights turned back. Singh showed up on time and was really communicative. If we have another electrical issue, we would call on Singh for help."

"I’m using my Pampered Chef Air Fryer/Oven! This probably doesn’t sound like news to you but it is! I have had this appliance for months but have been unable to fully use it. It kept tripping the circuit breaker. I had a very difficult time trying to get an electrician. Some didn’t call back. Some didn’t show up. And then I went to Angies list and found Isaiah Smith from I.S Electric. He called right away and showed up the next day-early! He listened to what I wanted ( a dedicated line for my air fryer), then he looked over the space, my basement and the circuit box. He immediately quoted me a price then said he could get started now. I was like what??? I have been waiting for so long that I thought I must have heard him wrong. Nope. He dug right in and within a few hours my dedicated line was ready for use. He was very reasonably priced. He was polite, professional, knowledgeable and amazing. I will definitely call him with any electrical issues I have!"

"My house generator was serviced and the battery replaced. Everything about the experience was excellent. Mike, the technician, called when he was on the way, worked with me and my restrictions because of Covid, he was punctual, professional, explained thoroughly the work he did. For 8 years Anderson has serviced my generator and when needed during electric outage, my generator keeps my house running until the electric service is restored! Thank you for reliable service!"

"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

No, sconces don’t have to be hardwired, but they can be for a more permanent solution. Sconces come in various styles, sizes, and finishes as well as types of installation. Plug-in wall sconces can be plugged into a nearby outlet, and battery-powered sconces can be mounted to the wall. 

Your breaker box houses the breakers that control the circuits in your home, shutting them off if they overload or experience similar problems. Your meter box houses your electrical meter that monitors the electricity flowing into your house and measures its use for your utility company.

In some cases, both components are in the same box, but they don’t have to be together. Many homes have them split, with the breaker box inside for easier access and the electric meter outside.

Typically, when a 3-way switch only works when one switch is on, this is one of the most telltale indicators that the switch has gone bad (although this could also be the result of faulty or loose wiring). To diagnose the issue, toggle each switch until the light comes on. Once it’s on, toggle each switch separately again; the switch that doesn’t turn the light off is the bad switch. 

Removing a fuse from the fuse box is relatively safe under normal circumstances. The task becomes dangerous if wires or wire terminals are exposed or in the case of a disaster such as flooding in the home where water can act as an electrical conductor.

They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
