"For the past 15 years Mike from Shamrock Electric has done extensive electrical work for two homes. He is personable, reliable, knowledgeable and fastidious. Recently he returned for a smaller job and completing a delicate onyx sconce installation with the same skill and expertise. I’m always confident that the job has been done right when Mike does my electrical work. I highly recommend him. He is a pro!"

I have never before seen the wires so neat and organized as I did after he was finished with my job. I will only hire PKJ for all of my future electrical needs. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience."

"DZ Electric has come to our rescue on more than one occasion over the past two years; has always been quick to respond, super friendly, and more-than reasonably priced. They resolved an issue I was having with a hot tub, replaced an entire electrical panel, installed motion detector lights, and even restored our 30+ year-old landscaping lights because I was too stubborn to find replacementsâ ¦BTW they are beautiful once again! Their most recent visit is a true testament to how GREAT they areâ ¦.it was not to my home. My husband and I had been looking forward to a weekâ s vacation on our boat when its air conditioning failed. After days of having multiple marine technicians on board not able to locate the problem, I decided to call Darren at DZ Electric. He responded immediately and met with us that same afternoon. Our boat was unfamiliar territory to Darren, but he was willing to do whatever it took to help us, and was confident he would find the problem. Darren returned, on time as always, with Rob and Orlandoâ ¦and they immediately got to work. They were laser focused on one thing, getting us back in vacation mode. Not only did they find the problem, they FIXED the problemâ ¦. all within a few hours!! They went above and beyond for us; working in very tight quarters-in extreme heat and humidity, and never complained about it. Even left our boat cleaner than they found it. They salvaged our vacationâ ¦my heroes!! We are very grateful, and would never consider using anyone else for an electrical issue. Thanks guys, you truly are the BEST!!!"

"Matt did two jobs for me, an outdoor lighting job and an inside job where I needed an extra switch installed on a bathroom fixture. Both times he arrived when he said he would and went right to work. Both jobs took less time than I thought they would and best of all Matt's prices are very reasonable. I am so glad I have found Matt Greco Electrical. He is reliable and reasonable and you can rest assured Matt will take care of any electrical issue you have."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

A water heater is one of the heaviest hitters in your home, and it needs as much power as possible to help it run efficiently and effectively.

Your water heater should be on its own dedicated circuit breaker, with no other power sources running to it. This is required to meet the National Electric Code–and to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible.

The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.

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.

Daisy-chaining refers to placing multiple GFCI outlets in a row along the same circuit. This won’t do any harm, but it’s of limited usefulness because a properly-placed GFCI can monitor all downstream outlets on its own. Multiple GFCI installations won’t usually increase safety except in special cases.
