"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."

"From my initial contact with Darren, the owner, to the completion of the 2 day job with the electrical crew ~ Paulie, Kwan, John, & Michael the experience was top rate. I can't say enough about DZ Electrical Contracting. Darren was on time for the initial estimate and called as he stated he would 30 min. before arrival. He responded to every text and question punctually. He is true to his word. And forget about his crew. They all were professional, experienced, and pleasant to be around for 2 days. The quality of their work and their work ethic were remarkable. Everyone knew the job and worked beautifully as a team. And when I started to add to my project, it was greeted with of course we can do that, and no problem we'd be happy to take care of it. They did not rush through and each day vacuumed the rooms as well as covered furniture and bedding in order not to leave dust behind. My husband and I are truly impressed and appreciative! Thank you for making my house not only sparkle with new light but more importantly, safe!"

"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

Smart light switches are designed to be compatible with most lights and traditional home wiring, but there are several key factors to check. First, verify your home's wiring, as some smart switches require a neutral wire to operate, which may not be present in older houses (often built before 1985). Always check the wiring requirements for the specific model you choose. Second, consider your light bulbs; while smart switches work with almost any light, using a dimming feature requires dimmable bulbs, such as dimmable LEDs. Finally, ensure you have the necessary network connection. Most smart switches need a Wi-Fi connection for remote control, but some older models might use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible hub.

A duplex outlet simply means that the receptacle has two plug-in outlets for two plugs. It’s a common design choice for homes. The two outlets should be wired identically during installation so the hot side is the same for both.

If a 3-way switch is wired incorrectly, this can cause several issues. The most common problem is that the switches will not function properly: Either both switches won’t work, or only one will. Another issue is that one switch will trigger a short circuit, tripping the circuit breaker.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.
