"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"

"Kenny was great in being available and responsive to our changing schedule and getting us worked in for an inspection and repairs and Neil was fantastic and thorough in his initial electrical inspection of our home and getting everything fixed for us a week after the inspection. Great to talk to and took care moving around our home and keeping everything tidy and clean. Can’t recommend Great Lights enough if you need electrical work done."

"Very professional explaining what was wrong and how he planned to fix the issue. He was also very nice and cleaned up after installing the two ceiling fans and fixing the light. I would go to them again for an electrical job I would need done and I would recommend them to someone who needs electrical work done."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.

It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time.

If the electrical wires you’re working with are too short, one of the easiest ways to elongate it is to extend them with a push-in connector. These user-friendly tools help you splice two wires together with little fuss or the need for extra tools, like a crimping tool, which is an older way of extending wires. As long as you can stripe the ends of a wire, using a push-in connector shouldn’t be an issue.
