"Marcus did a great job, figured out my electrical problems, put up 2 ceiling fans, added an electrical outlet in my garage. Also cleaned up everything and moved back everything he touched. He was a very pleasant person and explained everything he was doing. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him and Photon electric again. Thank you Beverly"

"Zack Kinney Electric installed a transfer switch kit (9/18/2021) that I selected from Amazon, connected it to my existing panel box, and added a remote connector box in the garage to plug the generator into. I found that he was very flexible to do this project using the parts I specified and install exactly the way I wanted. The transfer switch from Amazon had a bad switch from the factory so Zack had to make multiple trips to get it all installed. This was no problem for Zack as he wanted to ensure I was happy with the install. The install is very clean and professional and of course everything works as it should. I hired Zack to check my kitchen stove (7/25/2022) since it kept tripping a circuit breaker in the house panel box. He checked the stove outlet and wiring but the stove circuit breaker needed to be replaced. Initially we got the wrong breaker that didn't match my exact panel box configuration but again Zack was patient with me and kept at it until we had the correct breaker installed. The stove has worked perfectly ever since! I refer my friends and family to Zack if they need help with an electrical project and Iâ m sure Iâ ll hire him again myself. Zack if you're reading this thanks again for all your help!!!!"

"Technician was on time and polite. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it the same day. I had a porch light that did not work and needed to have a new wire installed. He was prompt, efficient, and affordable. I would highly recommend. So glad to have my porch light finally working!"

"Despite a -12 windchill, Kevin and Jose sent a notice 30 minutes before their arrival and got to work immediately. They were both extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and industrious. The project was extensive but they managed to keep power interruptions to an absolute minimum. Considering that the generator project required work involving gas, electric, and internet, their presence in our small house went almost unnoticed. I would absolutely recommend them. Great work!"

"Jim for Donhohues Lightning Rods installed the lightning rod system in my home. When the work was done I was very happy as their installer came as per promised time, and perform the work. Before giving them the work Jim completely sold me their work ethics, quality, and service. There was a minor issue and his team took complete ownership of this issue and talked to me in detail. They provide a very good explanation to satisfy me. I am a happy customer."

"William , the owner contacted me soon after I left a message on his phone. He was very prompt in getting me a quote for lightning rods that same day and happened to be in the area locally. We scheduled for him to install two days later. We were very happy with their work, meticulous and detailed. We canâ t notice any rods from the front of the house and they do their best to hide the cable so you canâ t see it. Our house got hit by lightning a year ago and it is not something I want to go thru again with the rebuilding of our house. We have a peace of mind that our house has protection now. William was very reasonable as far as cost compared to the other quotes that we got from other companies. We are so happy we found a great company that is honest and does good work. His company comes back every five years to check that the rods and cables are in good working order!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can check if an electrician is licensed in New York by using the online license verification search tool offered by the New York State Education Department. The database is updated daily and gives you the option of searching by license number, contractor name, or the name of the business.

For a 200-amp underground service, you need a minimum of #2/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper or #4/0 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Don’t forget that, at minimum, you’ll need to use a 1 1/2-inch schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit to successfully run a 200-amp underground service.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

There are a few reasons your lights may be on, but the rest of your electrical outlets and appliances are not working. The first is that while one circuit blew out, the lights may be on another circuit than your other electrical fixtures. Alternatively, your powerless appliances may be plugged into a GFCI outlet that was tripped and needs to be reset. If these issues aren’t responsible for the problem, you may have dead outlets or a wiring issue. Either way, you should contact an electrician to identify and fix the issue.

Yes, a hot or overheating outlet is a fire hazard and can cause a fire. An outlet becoming hot indicates an electrical problem, such as an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or a faulty component. The heat from these issues can ignite nearby flammable materials like curtains or furniture. If you notice an outlet is hot to the touch, turn off the power at the circuit breaker, unplug any connected devices, and consult a qualified electrician. If a fire does start, use a Class C fire extinguisher or baking soda to suppress it, or evacuate immediately and call the fire department.
