"This is the 2nd time I have used Safe Electric and both times I have used them have been great experiences. I had 3 new fixtures installed plus a new circuit run to be used for a new freezer in our finished basement. Jon & Eric were the two electricians that were sent to my home. They worked efficiently and quickly, but did outstanding work. Even though our basement had a finished ceiling, they were able to run a wire through with minimal disruption to the finished ceiling. I had concerns about the alignment of the lights on the fixture (this was a manufacturing defect and nothing to do with their installation) and they obliged me by improving the light alignment. They also cleaned up after they were completed and disposed of the old light fixtures and packaging materials for the new fixtures. Their work was excellent. The only negative aspect was the price which seemed very high to me. The cost for installation of the 3 light fixtures was $462 and the new circuit was $903."

"Craig Desrosiers with Safe Electric did fantastic work for me right before Christmas. I liked how he arrived on the dot on time. I was so pleased with his work in fact, that I hired Craig a second time today, 12/27 for an additional several hours to install more Lutron Caseta radio dimmer switches for our home and landscape lighting control, which I love. He also installed new duplex outlets that were expertly cut and fished with no holes for me to patch and paint -what a relief and huge convenience to me. This was a very challenging job, especially since they were undoing improperly completed work previously done by a less experienced and unreliable electrician that I foolishly hired as side work (don't ever do that like I did a month ago, because you do NOT get what you think you paid for). Spend the money, hire a recommended licensed, experienced, and honest electrician. He tirelessly trouble shot and traced extensive track lighting fixtures throughout our mid century modern home. It helped to have all items purchased and ready for him to install. The few things I didn't have, he easily had ready to install from his work van. He was definitely prepared. Craig didn't cut any corners, he charged me a fair hourly rate, and most important: everything was done this time perfectly and safely. I feel strongly that when resale time should ever come around in the future years from now, I won't have any further issues or questions from a buyer's pesky home inspector, thanks to his job done right. 'Wish I'd called him first! I now have his cell number saved in my phone, and will gladly pass it on to anyone who asks me in passing if I know of a good electrician I can recommend. Call Craig first! He's the Lutron master pro, and he's been a licensed electrician for over 30 years...and his experience and professionalism shines bright and safe in my home, that's for sure."

"J's Electrical & Maintenance was absolutely amazing. Very quick and responsive setting up appointments. Arrives on time. While here they completed changing out an old range hood , new doorbell transformer, helped setting up new doorbell, installed a new light ballast and fixture, and a ceiling fan installation. All of the work was done with precision and in a timely fashion. They were very friendly and extremely helpful. We will 100% be using them for our future electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Electrical projects in Delaware often reveal hidden costs like permit and inspection fees, required code upgrades such as GFCI or AFCI protection, or panel replacements in older homes. If your home has finished basements or plaster walls, running new wiring can increase labor time. Weather delays and discovering outdated or unsafe wiring during the project can also add to the overall timeline and complexity.

Helpful?

For electrical maintenance in Delaware, keep a non-contact voltage tester, GFCI outlet tester, digital multimeter, and insulated screwdrivers. Stock wire nuts, electrical tape rated for temperature changes, and weatherproof covers for outdoor outlets. Surge protectors are helpful during storm season. Have spare circuit breakers and a flashlight for outages, and always keep records of any electrical permits or inspection reports for your home.

Helpful?

In Delaware, flickering lights, persistent breaker trips, or a burning smell near outlets are warning signs of bigger electrical problems. Warm or discolored outlets, minor shocks, or GFCI outlets that won’t reset should never be ignored. Homes in older Delaware neighborhoods with original wiring are especially at risk, so address these issues promptly to prevent major repairs and safety hazards.

Helpful?

When hiring electrical pros in Delaware, look for local licensing, proof of insurance, and experience with the area’s mix of historic and newer homes. Ask for references from Delaware residents, and confirm they know local permit requirements and building codes. Choose pros who provide detailed written estimates, offer warranties, and have a reputation for responding quickly to emergencies, especially during severe Ohio weather.

Helpful?

In Delaware, using extension cords as permanent solutions or plugging high-wattage appliances into older outlets can strain your electrical system. Skipping regular GFCI outlet tests and blocking access to your electrical panel are common mistakes. DIY fixes without permits or proper knowledge often lead to bigger problems, especially in Delaware’s historic neighborhoods where wiring may already be outdated.
