"This went very well.  The basic price per hour was stated by the office in advance when I arranged the appointment.  They came on time, double-checked what needed attention and went ahead and did it in a very reasonable time.  They were very pleasant and professional.   All-in-all, I'm very happy with Conte Electric, and I have dealt with them several times in the past, always good!

"We had our electrical panel upgraded and expanded, and had an EV charger and electric oven/range outlet installed. Paul and his crew were prompt, thorough, and professional in their work. They explained each step of the process with us and walked us through all the changes to make sure we understood what was done and how to use it. We will be hiring them for all our electrical work in the future!"

"It went Super Well😃😊☺️😊😇🙂😉😇😄 Before he came to my house he asked to see photos of the electrical problem. I text them and he immediately sent me an estimated price with a maximum cap for the projected job! So, I decided to hire him and I’m so glad I did. ☺️😄😀😃😌😄😄😃😀😇😄🙂😊😃😇 I thought his price was quite reasonable compared to what Home Depot’s electrical service men were asking. When he came to my house and ran some tests and opened the old electrical mount I was able to see the cause of the flickering lights. Then, he gave me an estimated cost of the new Flushmount, and quickly left and return within a half an hour with a receipt and installed it. He work efficiently and proficiently!! He was punctual, courteous, experienced and very dedicated to completing his electrical task. And when he’s done he will explain and show you how the new dimmer switch works. He even brought his own ladder with him. I will definitely use his service again when needing electrical repairs!!"

"KEN, from Advanced Electric, did an excellent job. The cost to do the job was very reasonable. He arrived on time and kept us informed every step of the way. He upgraded our outdated electrical panels and circuit breakers doing all work to code, correcting wiring issues found along the way. I will definitely hire Advanced Electric again for any of our electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The purpose of pigtail wiring is to connect multiple wires to a single terminal on a device. Pigtailing involves splicing a short length of wire, called a pigtail, into the multiple wires that need to be connected. The pigtail wire is then connected to the single terminal on the device, allowing all of the wires to be connected at once. This practice helps to simplify the wiring process, reduce clutter, and ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.

You can identify the amperage and voltage of most outlets by their slot shape and prong count. Buttons, switches, and USB ports also give it away. Look for printed labels like "TR" or "GFCI," and compare your outlet to the labeled images above.

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.

Yes, an AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) outlet also has line and load terminals, although it uses different technology than a GFCI and offers a different kind of protection. AFCIs monitor for internal arc faults, a type of wiring problem that can start an electrical fire.

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.
