"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"

"Mr. Raja, the electrician, did an exceptional job in the replacement of a 2 prong outlet receptacle to a 3 prong outlet. He was very professional, knowledgeable and very informative about the work which needed to be done. He called the project a “small job” and he completed the job quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend him for your electrical projects."

"Excellent service. Same day, efficient, totally professional. It could have been a big problem in older brownstone (or "can of worms," as electrician said) but he was able to rewire the outlet so that it's essentially new. He told us that running a new line (thus bypassing outlet) wouldn't have solved the problem, since the older wiring would still be carrying energy even if unused. He knew what he was doing. My landlady paid, so I don't know how much it cost, but she was happy. Wanted them to get a good review."

"David is an amazing electrician. He is timely & reliable. I have referred him to numerous family and friends including my boss. All of them have been happy. He works on ethics and does not overcharge for the job like most. He is an electrical wiz & just a blessing to have in your corner when you’re experiencing a tough electrical issue or wanting to add something new to your home. He is a must hire on my list. You will not regret it."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Check the matching breaker in your panel, since the number is printed on the switch. You can also tell them apart by sight. A 15-amp outlet has two straight vertical slots, while a 20-amp outlet has one vertical slot and one sideways T-slot.

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

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.

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.
