"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."

"I would recommend Mr. Paul of TPaul Electric to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, skilled electrician. He replaced an outlet for me (on a holiday!). He was punctual and courteous. The job was done expertly. He explained everything in layman terms so that I could understand. He was quick and cleaned up after himself. I am very satisfied with his work and will call him again for any electrical need."

"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

If wiring in a relatively modern home is damaged due to sudden events like a fire, a tree falling into the house, or a flood, then homeowners insurance is very likely to cover the cost of replacing the wire.

However, if it’s determined that wiring failed or started the fire because of age, neglect, or not meeting current electrical standards, then insurance won’t be covering any replacement. Also, insurance policies may charge more for particularly old kinds of wiring like aluminum wiring or deny applications altogether. 

Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with an LED fixture, but it must be a dimmer that is compatible with LEDs. Check the manufacturer’s information to ensure the dimmer works with LEDs, as not all dimmers are compatible with them. Many smart light switches accept LEDs, but be sure to read the details on the packaging.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

Often, you can add extra breakers to an electrical panel. A new breaker can help with new appliance needs, and it’s a common solution when finishing an attic or basement. However, adding extra breakers can’t bring in more amps to your house, so you still need enough amp service to power everything in total. 

There are many signs it is time to replace an electrical panel, starting with flickering lights. Other tell-tale signals include overheating appliances, light fixtures that cause an electric shock, hissing or crackling from the breaker box, burned or blackened spots near the breaker box, and breakers that trip whenever activating power-hungry appliances like microwaves.
