"Ryan is an excellent electrician. We asked him to change a switch for bathroom light. He was able to fix potentially dangerous wiring and replace the switch. He also replaced two wall sconces. He is careful and meticulous in his approach to any job. He has done many jobs at our home that other electrical services did not fix. I would reckon highly"

"We had all of our outlets re-done. They were super friendly, informative, and professional. They were as careful with our home as if it were their own as far as cleaning up after themselves and being cautious to not damage anything. We will definitely be a repeat customer for any future electrical necessities. 10/10 would recommend. Brian and his co worker did a PHENOMENAL. Thank you again!"

"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."

"Mustafa has been wonderful. He was able to move our washer and dryer from the dining room. It involved him rerouting the plumbing and electric. Cutting a hole for the dryer exhaust as well.

He takes Venmo so easy transaction."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, in a new home, ground wires are mandatory. Some older homes may not be grounded, but if you decide to renovate, you will need to have your electricity grounded at that time. Remember, grounding helps keep everyone in your home safe from sudden electrical surges. It’s best to hire an electrician to inspect and work with your home’s wiring.

Most people don’t think twice when using loose outlets, but they are a safety hazard. Loose outlets can cause issues with the flow of electricity in your home, resulting in electricity jumping from one connection point to another. When this happens, it can cause a spark that could start an electrical fire in your walls.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

This depends on how many outlets you have and the current status of your electrical system. The cost to ground an outlet clocks in at $75 to $480 per outlet, so multiply that by the number of outlets in your home to arrive at a rough estimate. However, this is for simple projects with no obvious issues with the system. Your final bill could vary widely from your calculations.

It prevents electrical surges, protects your home from things like electrical fires, and prevents you from getting shocked if an errant surge runs through your power line. Without grounded wires, your appliances could also get damaged during lightning storms.
