"Initially, he responded within the hour when I posted my request then he came to the house. From there on, in terms of your appointments, there was a back and forth.

He wanted me to do it, he finally did it and then they rescheduled. But now, from this point on where is additional work, that their company wishes the company is requiring.

"This was the worst experience i have ever had with a company. They came and damaged my house and kept us without AC for days. They admitted to the extensive damage and went weeks before attempting to repair it. The services were never fully completed and they were paid over 90% of the job. I disputed the last 10% and provided overwhelming evidence of their negligence. And after a year their last ditch effort was to send collections letters. Don't walk, RUN from this company. I will provide pics and my my experience to anyone who is planning on using this company. Used to be family owned and was amazing. Second they sold it went downhill fast."

"I had to call 5 different electrical contractors to do work in my co-op. I found some off of Angie's list and home advisor. I had contractors who never showed up, people who never got back to me after showing up. Some quotes were lower, and one quote was higher. At the end of the day Beshaun was on time, prepared, professional and provided a detailed estimate. He showed up fully prepared to do the work. His workers were professional. They got the job done in time as promised and cleaned up after themselves. I felt comfortable enough to leave them in my home while I was at work. I had him install 4 sets of track lights, and over head lights in 2 closets and one room that had none, along with a ceiling fan. All new wiring had to be run for everything."

"was happy to hire Josent Electric Corp to do a full electricity service on my single-family home not long ago. My experience with them was nothing but great, from the first conversation to the final inspection. I'm excited to tell others who are thinking about using their services about my great experience with them. From the beginning, I thought Josent Electric Corp was very professional. The team showed up on time, was polite, and knew a lot. They took the time to learn about my needs and came up with answers that worked for my home and my budget. The way they handled the project showed how knowledgeable they were, showing that they had a deep understanding of electricity systems and current safety standards. The work that Josent Electric Corp did was truly excellent. They did an excellent job on every part of the job, from improving the wiring to putting in new lights and safety equipment. Their attention to detail was truly impressive; they made sure that all of the work was done correctly and quickly, leaving no room for mistake. Throughout the project, communication was smooth. At every step, the team kept me up to date on their work and explained difficult electrical ideas in a way that I could understand. They told me in great detail what they were doing, which made me trust their skills and the quality of the service they were giving. Being honest about costs, timelines, and possible problems was a nice change, and I liked it. Josent Electric Corp. put safety first in everything they did. They made sure that all installations and fixes were safe by following strict safety rules. Along with being very careful to keep my home clean, the team was also very respectful of the work area. They made sure to clean up every day, which didn't get in the way of my daily life too much. Working with Josent Electric Corp has been a great experience for me. Their dedication to quality, along with their skilled staff and focus on the customer, makes them stand out from others in the same field.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Modern homes have a lot of devices and appliances running at once. That means there are many different wires and cables throughout the house. Service entrance conductors (also known as service entrance cables or service feed wires) connect the external weatherhead for the utility pole to the circuit breaker box. This is your home’s connection to your local power grid.

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.

A Tesla Powerwall comes with a standard 10-year warranty that guarantees the unit will provide at least 80% power during this period. After this time, a Powerwall may continue to operate, even if at a reduced capacity for another 10 to 15 years. Other factors can affect the long-term performance and durability of your Powerwall, such as energy consumption and how often you charge the battery.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

If you connect the wrong electrical wires together, it can lead to a very dangerous electrical shock. All wires should be matched with wires of the same color. It’s very important to consult an electrician if you’re unsure about how to wire your fixture.
