"I had an estimate done on some electric work, and James Pinson did an excellent job. He was very thorough, clear with his suggestions, and the pricing was very competitive. Based on James's visit and the estimate he provided, I chose Mr. Electric to complete the work."

"Not a tool was pulled. Not a piece of equipment was attempted to be sold. Terry listened to my issues and used common sense and a little tweaking of my current equipment and it appears my needs were met. I appreciated his personal time and effort. Because of that, when and if I need a bigger job to be done, he ll be my first call. Thanks Terry."

"Great job! The electrician did exactly what I had asked. I had an overhead light roughed-in for a finished room. He made the smallest a fewest holes possible to run the wiring. This made patching very easy. I will happily use Columbus Breeze Electric again."

Customers say: Quality work

"Rich came to our rescue when an urgent electrical problem came up. He rearranged his schedule to get us in the next day. He was extremely knowledgeable in his trade and explained everything he would be doing. I felt he genuinely cared about me and my family and our safety. We have four small kids and are so thankful for Rich's compassion, expertise and professionalism. This is something you don't see with large corporations. Rich was also very fair on price, especially given the emergent nature of the project. Support small business and hire Rich! Highly recommend him!"

"I hired Power Bright Solutions Inc. to perform a major electrical panel upgrade, install a new whole-home generator, and perform extensive rewiring throughout the house. I couldn't be happier with the work and professional results. Forrest is experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, and does excellent work. My old panel was a definite safety concern, as we had two issues where an electrical fire burnt carpet, damaged my work computers, and other electrical devices. The work performed by Forrest gave us peace of mind knowing our home's electrical system is safe and more efficient. It is easy to tell he does commercial electric work for 50+ hours a week. After completing the initial work, I have used them for additional projects, and they never disappoint. I have even had them help me with hanging and finishing drywall. Again, the work was done professionally."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it’s extremely dangerous to cap off live electrical wires. Working with live wires puts you at serious risk of electric shock, which can cause injury or even be fatal. Whenever you need to cap off electrical wires or complete any electrical work in general, it’s essential to shut the power off at the breaker before you begin.

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.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

The light that your ceiling light gives off will largely depend on the type of light bulb that’s installed in it. If you’re looking to brighten a dark room, LED bulbs are the way to go. LED bulbs will emit the most light while also using less energy than standard bulbs. They can last up to 50,000 hours and will need to be replaced much less often than standard bulbs.

For a 200-amp underground service, you need a minimum of #2/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper or #4/0 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Don’t forget that, at minimum, you’ll need to use a 1 1/2-inch schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit to successfully run a 200-amp underground service.
