"Capital District Electric was the first place I happened to choose on here and I’m glad I did. Eric got back to me within a few hours and was able to come over the same day. He was polite and professional the entire time. He got right to work, explained the issue, got a new part, and installed it the same day. He moves fast and is focused on getting the job done. When he installed the new breaker, he even cleaned up a ground wire that we didn’t know was just hanging in the old box. I’m very happy with his work and will definitely use him in the future."

"Ryan is an excellent electrician. We asked him to change a switch for bathroom light. He was able to fix potentially dangerous wiring and replace the switch. He also replaced two wall sconces. He is careful and meticulous in his approach to any job. He has done many jobs at our home that other electrical services did not fix. I would reckon highly"

"I found Patterson Electric on Angi, and Mr. Patterson contacted me promptly the next day. I live in an older home that had started to develop electrical issues. Mr. Patterson worked dillegently to not only diagnose the main problem, but took the initiative to fix some minor issues he found along the way. I felt his prices were very reasonable for the work performed."
Prep to mark and protect wall
Using enough wire to rework in the future.
Installed ground up to match other home outlets. (It makes zero difference other that looks, I always match the house.)

"Mustafa has been wonderful. He was able to move our washer and dryer from the dining room. It involved him rerouting the plumbing and electric. Cutting a hole for the dryer exhaust as well. He also added a water line in our new fridge. He grounded our new pergola over our patio so it was level. Master of all trades!! He is always on time and communication well. He takes Venmo so easy transaction."

"Quality work! Frank came out for three jobs.. Two electrical jobs and one outdoor project. 1) installed new lights in my basement and moved the switches to a more logical location. 2) removed an old lamp post outside and shut off the electrical lines that ran to it. When my wife and I decide what kind of lighting we want outside, we will be hiring him again for the install. 3) removed several small-medium boulders from the property. Also moved a large pile of scrap wood to our burn pile (would have taken me hours). Highly recommended for general handyman work and/or small tractor work outside."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

Yes, a hot or overheating outlet is a fire hazard and can cause a fire. An outlet becoming hot indicates an electrical problem, such as an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or a faulty component. The heat from these issues can ignite nearby flammable materials like curtains or furniture. If you notice an outlet is hot to the touch, turn off the power at the circuit breaker, unplug any connected devices, and consult a qualified electrician. If a fire does start, use a Class C fire extinguisher or baking soda to suppress it, or evacuate immediately and call the fire department.

If your outlet needs to be reset multiple times, you likely have a problem with the outlet, the reset button, the wiring, or its connected circuit breaker. If the reset button doesn’t work and the circuit breaker isn’t the issue, it’s likely a problem with the outlet or the reset button it’s attached to.

Three-way switches work in pairs, allowing an operator to control a single light or series of lights from two separate switch locations. Most often, a three-way switch controls a light or light series in a single room.

To fix a tripped light switch, locate your home's electrical panel and identify the tripped circuit breaker. It will be in the "off" or neutral position. Flip the breaker entirely to the "off" position, then switch it back to the "on" position. If the breaker trips again immediately, there may be a short circuit or overload in the system, requiring further investigation. If the switch still doesn't work after resetting the breaker, check for loose wires or faulty components in the switch itself. It is always best to consult a licensed electrician for persistent issues and when in doubt.
