"The entire team at OHara was *great.* Kelly was on top of all the office coordination and very easy to communicate with. Mike was very efficient and stayed late to make sure the job was done. They were willing to work with me and were familiar with the newer (and less popular) technology I was asked to be installed. Not only fantastic service all around, but their quote came in significantly less than a competitor. I will *definitely* be calling OHara for any future electric work and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"I've used JA ELECTRIC several times over the years but most recently, ice fell and damaged our meter can. Nationalgrid said we needed to have a electrical inspection before they could restore our power. John came out that morning, replaced our service and had our power on by lunch. I wouldnt use anyone else."

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Do not touch electrical wires in your home without first turning off the power at your circuit breaker and testing the wire with a voltage meter or multimeter. Electricity still flows through wires even when a light switch is powered off, and touching wires with the switch on can result in electrical shock.

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.

An average, 400-square-foot electric heated driveways consume approximately $3 per hour in terms of electricity. The price may slightly fluctuate depending on your local energy cost. A simple formula to calculate your heated driveway’s total wattage consumption is by multiplying the square footage by 50 watts and then dividing it by 1,000 to get the kilowatt number. Multiply that with your local energy cost per hour and there you have the hourly operating cost.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

The total cost to install a 120V outlet will depend on the type of outlet you choose, labor costs, and any customizations. Standard 120 volt outlets usually cost $3 to $5 each. But say, for example, you customize your 120V outlets with USB ports, you’ll end up paying a bit more at $13 to $22 per outlet. When it’s all said and done, you can expect to pay around $175 for each new 120V outlet and $125 each for replacement.
