"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. I was very determined to encourage him. But he had me waited for an hour and it was disrespectful for me. I thanked him when the appointment is kept being cancelled to contact the electric company. 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. The electricity work done on my house has not only made it safer and more useful, but it has also raised its value. Anyone who needs dependable and top-notch electrical services should definitely hire Josent Electric Corp. Because they do great work and have great customer service, they are the best choice for all your electricity needs. Giving them access to my home was one of the best choices I've ever made, and I'm very happy with how things turned out."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

The dials on an electrical meter simply represent the number of kWh you have used since it was installed. In a five-dial setup, the left-most dial represents tens of thousands of kWh, while the next dial to the right represents thousands of kWh. The following dials going to the right represent hundreds, tens, and ones.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.

To power the system down, simply turn it off and cut it off from its electricity. That means removing the transformer from the wall plug and taking out the battery that usually sits within the control panel itself. That will disconnect it from power and essentially reset the entire alarm system.

Yes, electric fences need power to operate. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. In heavy snow or extreme rain, or if the power goes out, your electric fence might stop working. Knowing how to test an electric fence is important for figuring out if the fence is still functioning properly.
