"Tom and his crew were excellent and really did outstanding work. They were on time, and completed the job in one day. The work they did was of the highest quality, and they went above and beyond by also grounding and neatening up the cable and phone wires on the outside of the house. I had requested a quote to run electric for a new central a/c unit and Tom pointed out that the service to the house was original from the 60's and recommended that it should be replaced but was not required to run the new a/c unit. His honesty and kind demeanor made us comfortable so we decided to move forward with running both the new electric for the a/c and to replace the entire service and panel. I would highly recommend TFC Electric, Inc. and will definitely use him for any additional work we may need done in our home."

"For the past 15 years Mike from Shamrock Electric has done extensive electrical work for two homes. He is personable, reliable, knowledgeable and fastidious. Recently he returned for a smaller job and completing a delicate onyx sconce installation with the same skill and expertise. I’m always confident that the job has been done right when Mike does my electrical work. I highly recommend him. He is a pro!"

"From start to finish, Best Quality Electric delivered an exceptional, white-glove experience. The process began with a dedicated consultation that was educational, detailed, and thoughtfully planned—setting a clear vision before any work even began. The following day, the team arrived precisely on time and immediately demonstrated a level of professionalism that is rare to find. Shoe protection was used, and every floor and piece of furniture was carefully covered. Their respect for the home was as impressive as their craftsmanship. Watching the two electricians work was remarkable. They operated in perfect sequence, anticipating each other’s next step, covering every single detail with precision. Not one question went unanswered—each was met with patience, clarity, and deep expertise that inspired complete confidence. Best Quality Electric truly lives up to its name. This is not just electrical work—it’s a refined, high-standard service experience. Bold, meticulous Toptier work!"

"PKJ Electrical is the most professional electrician's I have ever hired. They were on time, courteous and very knowledgeable. They replaced my breaker box. I have never before seen the wires so neat and organized as I did after he was finished with my job. I will only hire PKJ for all of my future electrical needs. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. 

No, it is not safe to use an outlet that sparked. A spark from an outlet could indicate a short circuit, loose or frayed wiring, or other serious damage. Continuing to use an outlet that sparks can increase the risk of electrical shock, electrical fires, and other hazards. It's important to turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker if possible and avoid using the outlet until a licensed electrician has inspected and repaired it.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

There are several things to try to repair a broken outlet. Whether it's fixable or not may depend on the problem and the type of outlet itself. Start by testing the circuit with an electrical tester and ensuring the breaker switch to the circuit functions as it should. Loose wires are sometimes the culprit and are repairable by fixing the connections. 

Most mechanical and digital timers will only turn your Christmas lights on and off once per day, but a smart timer will likely do so as many times as you want.
