"On 01/20/2026, I hired an electrician from Perfect Electric inc., for a residential building electrical outage job. He was on time, extremely professional & knowledgeable and resolved the issues within the time frame. This company charged a reasonable price for a rather complicated problem. Got the building heating/ electricity back on for every unit. I’m greatly appreciative & would use this company again. I would also refer Chris to my family & friends. Thank you"

"After reaching out to them on Angieslist, Blaze Electric called me within minutes. Impressive. Next they came to my house when promised and were friendly, professional, and courteous, even funny at times. The work was high quality and skilled. My only complaint was the price was outrageous. They charged $299 for 15 minutes of work. That is $20 per minute. Ouch. But again well done work."

"Home owner in Hollis, NY Among other electrical jobs, David installed outlets in my home. I found him to be quite knowledgeable, skillful, and professional. He was punctual in his arrival on the job and he completed the job in a timely manner. He made sure his work followed “code” and left me with a safe, well done job. I also found this pricing to be quite fair and competitive. I will absolutely request to use Power On’s services in the future."

"We called Home Electric Advisor to upgrade our electricity because we are unable to use the air conditioner at the same time as the washing machine, and dishwasher . He advised us on what electrical work needed to be done. We had a new electric panel with grounding installed and new wiring for the washing machine and the air conditioner. We are now able to use everything without worrying about the circuit breaker. He came on time and completed the work in a day and a half. He was easy to communicate with and gave us the price for all the work upfront. There were no surprises in the cost of the project. We are very happy with his work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You should never wire neutral and ground wires together at a light switch. Not only is it unsafe, but it’s also incorrect. The neutral and ground wires perform separate functions in an electrical circuit and should never be swapped or wired together at a light switch, light, or outlet. 

If you’re wondering whether an electrical panel in the bathroom needs to be moved, the answer is yes. Due to the risks of shocks and electrical fires, electrical panels cannot be located in bathrooms per National Electric Code Volume 70. Additionally, gasses, vapors, liquids, and temperature fluctuations can all compromise the functionality of your electrical panel, so it’s important to install it in a dry, cool, safe, and easily accessible location.

You can check if an electrician is licensed in California by using the online check a license tool offered by the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board. You have the option of searching by the license number, the electrical contractor’s name, or the name of the business to determine the electrician’s status.

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

A C-wire is typically blue, but don’t rely on colors to find which wire is which when it comes to thermostat wires. The C-wire may also be black, brown, or purple. Instead, if you’re looking for the C-wire, look at the thermostat panel for a wire connecting to “terminal C,” or call in a pro to help you look for a C-wire.
