"The provider came to give estimate for the emergency situation we were in for water leaking into electric panel box from electric pole attached to house outside. The provider suggested we upgrade Panel Box from 100amp service to 200amp service since box had to be changed anyway. The estimate was $400 higher than the other estimate we got from another ANGI electrician at $3100 but the provider could come the next day to complete job. Where the other electrian could not do the job for 4 days out. Provider stated that he doesnt accept credit cards or do financing so I told him "no thank you" to the job, as this was an emergency and didnt have cash to pay him. After Provider left he called back stating he could use an associate of his credit billing account so he can do the job. The provider NEVER mentioned getting PERMITS AND A UNDERWRITERS CERTIFICATE for us to upgrade the AMP service to our home. I hired this provider From ANGI believing he was a vetted Professional and we would have all proper services done including any and all paperwork involved especially that he was charging more for the job. After job was completed he still had no credit card available and was mad that I didnt have all cash. I was dumbfounded as he stated that he had access to a credit terminal. I gave him a Check for $1600 and a $100 bill Which then he gave me an invoice that had no Electrical License listed or any type of insurance listed. I had to actually call Suffolk County NY to find out if he actually had a license and insurance which I wrote down on attached file. Provider stated he had to get in touch for the credit. He called later with a link for PAYPAL for me to pay $1300 that I owed him which I paid asap. The provider then had to come back because he didnt attach our Oil Burner to the new Circuit Panel Box and it was freezing inside our home. He then approached me while my husband was still in the basement getting the oil burner started and was demanding another $100 because PAYPAL charged him FEES. I said bluntly "NO" and he started billigerently YELLING at me "YOU WANT ME TO EAT IT???" over and over. He left Slamming my front door while screaming outside extremely loud "SHE WANTS ME TO EAT IT???" meaning the extra $100. I called PAYPAL to ask about the tranaction and Payplal stated that he had to agree to their terms and fees which are on the business owners' and not the customers responsibility. He was very scary and I was afraid of him and was afraid he was going to retaliate against us some way. The PERMIT and UNDERWRITERS CERTIFICATE MUST BE FILED AND DELIVERED TO US as we only found out that this was MANDATORY by an Electrical Contractor that my daughter was hiring for same service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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. 

Electrical codes require GFCI outlets in areas where ground faults are more common, usually around water. That includes garages, kitchen counters, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. All of these require at least one GFCI outlet in the room, and some codes require every outlet in a specific area to be GFCI.

Yes, dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity. However, proper humidity also means your home’s temperature remains more stable, thus lowering heating and air conditioning bills. The good news is you shouldn’t need to use a dehumidifier more than a few months per year, so the energy costs won’t be as noticeable as other larger appliances.

Home power is measured in kilowatt-hours, commonly expressed as kWh. The average home uses between 800 and 1,000 kWh per month. Peak usage (and highest bills) occurs in the middle of summer and the depths of winter. Keeping on top of your usage during these crucial months will lower your annual average usage considerably. 

A washer and dryer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet when installed in a laundry room, utility room, garage, or basement with the required water source. These spaces require that all outlets be GFCI-protected. Elsewhere, there is no specific requirement for plugging a washer and dryer into a GFCI outlet. However, you may wish to do so for extra peace of mind.
