He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain the work being done and what was required. It’s refreshing to work with someone who is both professional and transparent. I highly recommend Pat and B-Dyson Electric to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality electrical work."

"We hired Conte to install wiring and overhead light/fan fixtures for 3 bedrooms, and to install wiring and lighting for a large attic. We first got an appraisal, and the office staff had already tentatively scheduled a work date, which worked out well. I was at work during the process, but the crew of 2 electricians were able to let themselves in and perform the work. I came later to check it out and they did a terrific job. Frankly, if I didn't know I hired them, I would have never known they were there. Perfect work, everything cleaned up, and now we can see in the attic. They installed an illuminated switch in the hallway below attic so that we can turn on the lights from below and see (via the illuminated switch) if the lights are on or off. Definitely would hire them again."

"It went Super Well😃😊☺️😊😇🙂😉😇😄 Before he came to my house he asked to see photos of the electrical problem. I text them and he immediately sent me an estimated price with a maximum cap for the projected job! So, I decided to hire him and I’m so glad I did. ☺️😄😀😃😌😄😄😃😀😇😄🙂😊😃😇 I thought his price was quite reasonable compared to what Home Depot’s electrical service men were asking. When he came to my house and ran some tests and opened the old electrical mount I was able to see the cause of the flickering lights. Then, he gave me an estimated cost of the new Flushmount, and quickly left and return within a half an hour with a receipt and installed it. He work efficiently and proficiently!! He was punctual, courteous, experienced and very dedicated to completing his electrical task. And when he’s done he will explain and show you how the new dimmer switch works. He even brought his own ladder with him. I will definitely use his service again when needing electrical repairs!!"

"I would highly recommend Tri Cat Electric. They showed up on time and brought all the tools needed for the job. The work was done professionally and within a very reasonable time. Since this was for a 220 line for charging a Tesla, they knew the details of the vehicles requirements and were able to answer all of my questions. I was pleased with that! The work went very smoothly, and my home was left neat and clean. We checked out the charging line and all went well. Tri Cat was recommended by Tesla and I can understand why. Great job! Impressed!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Pendant lights are very versatile, and you can almost always find one with your preferred style that accepts your preferred bulb. Today, many fixtures use LED bulbs, though it’s still completely possible to find one that uses halogen, fluorescent, or even old-school incandescent bulbs. The manual that comes with your light should tell what types of bulbs you can use with it.

When converting a standard 120-volt outlet to a 240-volt outlet, the only components you can typically reuse are the existing electrical box and the hole in the wall. Everything else—including the wiring, breaker, and receptacle—should be replaced to ensure both safety and efficiency. Appliances designed for 240 volts have different plug configurations that won’t fit into a standard 120-volt outlet, making it necessary to install a compatible 240-volt receptacle. This design helps prevent overloading or underloading the power available to any one outlet or circuit.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.

You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.
