"From the very start I was highly impressed with Mr. Electric of Queensbury, NY. My first contact was with a rep, Morgan, who was pleasant, professional and efficient in setting me up with a tech within 2 days. The tech appeared on time as scheduled. He was professional, courteous and very careful about analyzing and remediating the problem. My electrical issue was highly unusual, but Gordon was able to resolve it, and he stayed until the job was finished. I am glad I was able to work with this company."

"Alex o AP Link contacted us immediately upon receiving the inquiry we submitted. Within days we had an estimate and an appointment. He arrived on schedule and was professional from the moment he arrived until he left. He replaced our 20+ year old exterior light fixtures with the new ones we had purchased. Some adjustments had to be made to the existing wiring in order for all fixtures to be installed properly, which he did. Now our outdoor lights look great and are done right. We will definitely use AP Link the next time we need electrical work done."

We could not be more pleased with the results."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

If a 3-way switch is wired incorrectly, this can cause several issues. The most common problem is that the switches will not function properly: Either both switches won’t work, or only one will. Another issue is that one switch will trigger a short circuit, tripping the circuit breaker.

A gas stove doesn't always need a dedicated circuit. Unlike an electric range, which uses 240 volts and requires a 240-volt receptacle, a gas stove only uses 120 volts. In some cases, your electrician will need to replace the existing two-pole circuit breaker with a single-pole circuit breaker as well as swap out the existing 240-volt receptacle with a 120-volt replacement.

Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an electrical fire hazard, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping.

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.
