"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!"

"Anthony and his crew did a great job. They were very professional and charged a very reasonable fee. They installed two light fixtures, including a chandelier, which had to be assembled. I will use Sir Electrical in the future."

"Amazing. He was here several times, always arrived on time with all materials. Before every job the pricing was discussed and I paid exactly what was agreed upon with no surprises. The electrician was kind, considerate and caring and explained everything to me. He made suggestions and took the time to help me understand everything. I learnt this is a family business and being a small business owner myself It was such a pleasure to have him here. So many companies today you get no personalized attention. He was always reachable by email or phone. I would highly recommend him and will continue to use him."

"I hired CPT Electric after another Home Advisor electrician was unresponsive after our initial contact. Cole Thomas responded quickly, gave good advice, and installed three GFCI outlets in different locations in my house. The work was done quickly and efficiently with a neat clean up. It did not look like anyone had been working after the job was complete. Cole is a real professional and charges a reasonable rate. I will be using Cole in the future for any electrical work that needs to be done in my home. Thanks, Cole."

"Paul and his team were a refreshing change from many other contractors we have met! They examined the problem carefully, gave us a clearly explained fair estimate, and got the job done incredibly quickly. They were knowledgeable, respectful and completely straightforward. Highly recommend! Will call them for all future electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

You can check if an electrician is licensed in New York by using the online license verification search tool offered by the New York State Education Department. The database is updated daily and gives you the option of searching by license number, contractor name, or the name of the business.

You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an electrical fire
