"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!"

"PKJ Electrical is the most professional electrician's I have ever hired. They were on time, courteous and very knowledgeable. They replaced my breaker box. 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

DIY is not recommended for commercial settings due to safety regulations. Hire licensed professionals for compliance.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.

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.
