As this is a major upgrading of electrical systems of my house, Marcus gave 2 years warranty. I will recommend Marcus of Photon Electric LLC always"

"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!"

"When the Satellite TV tech came down from the roof, he said that my Lightning Rod installation was the best & neatest he had ever seen before. I then fully realized what a great job this company had done. He had worked a very long day, just to get the Lightning Protection installation completed on both my 2-story house and my 3-stall barn. He took the time to explain what he had done. I felt that for the cost of my Insurance Deductable, I saved myself the hassle of dealing with the aftermath of a Lightning strike. Insurance does NOT replace family heirlooms. I feel that I am fully prepared for North Texas weather. Would highly recommend Donohue's if you want to have peace of mind when Mother Nature gets nasty."

"I feel so much better knowing that I have protection now after the lightning strike we got. This company was professional and before something happens to your home or property I suggest you look into hiring them your home is definitely worth more than it cost to install protection"

"Riley, Mike, and Forest not only installed a standby generator but cleaned the work area so you would never have known they were there. Installed a new electric service line and showed my wife and I how everything worked. Job well done."

"I recently had my generator repaired and serviced, and I was very impressed with the quality of work. Johnny was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure everything was running properly before he left. My generator is now running great, and I appreciate the honest, reliable service. I highly recommend him for generator repair and maintenance needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The light that your ceiling light gives off will largely depend on the type of light bulb that’s installed in it. If you’re looking to brighten a dark room, LED bulbs are the way to go. LED bulbs will emit the most light while also using less energy than standard bulbs. They can last up to 50,000 hours and will need to be replaced much less often than standard bulbs.

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.

No, not all thermostats require a C-wire. Older manual and programmable thermostats typically do not need one. While many smart thermostats do require a C-wire to function correctly, some models can operate without one, often at the expense of certain features. A C-wire provides a constant source of power, which enables the thermostat to stay connected to Wi-Fi and keep its display screen lit on-demand. If you are upgrading from an older thermostat to a smart model that requires a C-wire, you may need to install one first for it to work as intended.

Yes, you can use a 3/0 AWG wire for a 200 amp service, but only if it is made of copper, as 3/0 copper wire has an allowable ampacity of 225 amps. If you are using aluminum or aluminum copper-clad wire, you need to use at least 4/0 AWG.

Both can and canless lights have distinct advantages, and the better option depends on your specific needs and preferences. Canless lights are often preferred for modern homes due to their slim, low-profile design, energy efficiency, and ability to fit in tight spaces with less ceiling depth required. Can lights, or traditional recessed lights, provide a classic look and may be better for high ceilings or areas that need stronger, more focused light. While they can be durable, they typically require more ceiling space and installation work. Ultimately, you should choose canless lights for a modern look and energy savings, or opt for can lights for a traditional aesthetic and robust lighting in larger spaces.
