"I called phone number I got from internet and scheduled appointment for next day.  I told the man I spoke to that my gas oven had stopped working.  He came as scheduled and had an ignitor with him and replaced it in about 15 minutes.  He was very knowledgeable and informative.

"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!"

"Despite a -12 windchill, Kevin and Jose sent a notice 30 minutes before their arrival and got to work immediately. They were both extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and industrious. The project was extensive but they managed to keep power interruptions to an absolute minimum. Considering that the generator project required work involving gas, electric, and internet, their presence in our small house went almost unnoticed. I would absolutely recommend them. Great work!"

"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

Yes, it is possible to hang a chandelier without wiring, but it depends on the design of both the chandelier and your ceiling. Many homeowners use plug-in pendant lights, adhesive hook and cord pendants, or nonelectrical light sources to hang a chandelier without wiring.

If you have a lamp that flickers or doesn’t stay on, it’s a sign that it’s time to rewire it. Additionally, it’s important to rewire antique lamps so they’re safe to continue using without the risk of an electrical fire. If the plug on your lamp is more than 15 years old or you notice poor performance like flickering, you should hire a lamp repair service to rewire it. If you’re upgrading the bulbs in an antique lamp from incandescent to LED or CFL bulbs, rewire it so it’s compatible with the modern bulbs.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Yes, you must use the proper wire nut that fits your wire gauge. Using a wire nut that’s too big or too small can cause your connection to fail, short circuit, or disconnect entirely. Ensuring that you have the proper wire nut size will guarantee that your connection lasts as long as possible.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.
