"Fernando and Fabio came to my house bright and early. They were consummate professionals and carefully checked all my outlets, some of which had emitted sparks. They replaced a dimmer switch and a couple of other outlets. Fernando updated the switch on the electric baseboard heat in my basement. I asked him to quickly check a ceiling fan and bathroom fans which were inoperative. He gave specific info on what replacements I needed to purchase for the next time I call them to update these items. Very knowledgeable and patient young men who answered my many questions!"

This was two separate jobs. Although it is taking some time to get the generator, their guys came out in advance and installed the panel. They gave us the option of purchasing the generator in our own for quicker turn around. They were very professional, courteous and explained how everything will work once the generator arrives. Their quote was less than 1/2 what others wanted and they quoted us the most reasonable generator for what we wanted powered. Other companies only gave us the option of far more power than we needed or wanted & far more work on our panel.

We also had an entire room with no electricity (we just the purchased home, it was not a thrown breaker) and a handful of new light fixtures and switches to install. Obviously, the room issue could have been a big or little problem. One company gave us a flat fee estimate of $2,000 to diagnose and fix the problem + additional fees for the other installations. Conte gave us a quote with minor fees for the install work and simply "Time & Material" for the room. It took Joe 30 minutes to find and fix the problem @ less than $100 an hour.

They are a busy group, so it took some time for our work. But they are very reasonably priced compared to others and honest!

"KEN, from Advanced Electric, did an excellent job. The cost to do the job was very reasonable. He arrived on time and kept us informed every step of the way. He upgraded our outdated electrical panels and circuit breakers doing all work to code, correcting wiring issues found along the way. I will definitely hire Advanced Electric again for any of our electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Typically, refrigerators should not be plugged into GFCI outlets. This is another appliance with a motor that can be prone to a little current leakage. Using a standard outlet saves nuisance tripping and the potential of waking up to a refrigerator full of warm food. The only exception is when the refrigerator is in a garage, where all outlets must be GFCI.

DIY is not recommended for commercial settings due to safety regulations. Hire licensed professionals for compliance.

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.

The purpose of pigtail wiring is to connect multiple wires to a single terminal on a device. Pigtailing involves splicing a short length of wire, called a pigtail, into the multiple wires that need to be connected. The pigtail wire is then connected to the single terminal on the device, allowing all of the wires to be connected at once. This practice helps to simplify the wiring process, reduce clutter, and ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.

For more complex electrical projects, it’s often most efficient and cost-effective to hire an electrician rather than trying to figure it out yourself (and risking electrical problems). Electricians know exactly what a project requires, and can often find supplies or parts for cheaper than the average homeowner. That can save money compared to going it alone.
