"Bernie and Juan came on Sunday morning to fix my laundry room outlet that had no power (due to bad breaker) and installed a ceiling fan quickly. I appreciate their quick response to the Angi lead as I inquired for service the day before. I would definitely hire them again for electrical services. Thank you again Bernie and Juan!"

"Mathew did an excellent and professional work. He was upfront and walked us through what needed to be done, explaining in detail what needed to be done. He was here within half hour of contact with him and repaired the issue promptly and restored power to my house. I am going to hire him again. As a matter of fact he is going to change out the entire electrical panel. And his prices are reasonable."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You should never use a plug with burn marks because it can cause a fire or even an electrical shock. The burn marks could be caused by a dangerous underlying electrical problem, so it’s important to call a qualified electrician right away. 

First, check the current electrical code in your area to ensure spaces you’re considering meet the requirements. After that, your outlet’s location is up to you. If you’re moving it to hide wiring, you may want to move it in a spot that will also be hidden from view, such as behind a media center or table. As long as you meet the spacing guidelines set by electrical codes, you should be able to pick any spot in your home for an outlet. 

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.

You can install a dimmer switch on almost any light as long as the switch, bulb, wiring, and wattage are compatible. Check what kind of light you have, the type of light bulb, and the total wattage of the bulbs to ensure your dimmer is a match. You’ll want to choose a non-neutral wire dimmer if you don't have neutral wiring. Homes built before 1985 that don't have updated electrical systems may not have neutral wiring.

If wiring in a relatively modern home is damaged due to sudden events like a fire, a tree falling into the house, or a flood, then homeowners insurance is very likely to cover the cost of replacing the wire.

However, if it’s determined that wiring failed or started the fire because of age, neglect, or not meeting current electrical standards, then insurance won’t be covering any replacement. Also, insurance policies may charge more for particularly old kinds of wiring like aluminum wiring or deny applications altogether.
