"30 minutes before my set appointment I was called and notified that they had an emergency at the job prior to me and they wouldn't me out until the following Monday at 9am first thing. My appointment was on Thurs 3pm-6pm. Needless to say the serviceman came out at 1130am. Turned out my grandson overloaded a circuit and it kept tripping the breaker. So needless to say work was not needed at this time. Unsure if they would be my first choice for a more serious job."

"Stay far away from this company. They destroy thing and then push blame on the customer. Had electrical updated and central air installed. 2 years we have had nothing but issues with our heating and cooling ..extremely high electric bills, unit running non stop, water dripping from our vents. Had beltz come out numerous times because of our house not cooling well in summer or heating well in winter. Proof of pictures, conversations, everything. After so many excuses why our furnance wasnt running properly we figured out cold air was blowing through the side of our house due to the main trunk to our duct work in attic had been smashed by Beltz when they were doing electrical to our bathroom. They came out and fixed the damage they cause that they admitted to but now I have mold in my attic ONLY on the side where it was broken. They denied my claim and are now pretty much saying I'm lying?!? but yet you fixed the duct work?? And your going to tell me your employees are too incompetent."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to use a three-way switch as a two-way switch. You can use a three-way switch as a two-way switch by bypassing one of the traveler wires and using only one of the available traveler switch terminals.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm’s length of the entryway.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

If a 3-way switch is wired incorrectly, this can cause several issues. The most common problem is that the switches will not function properly: Either both switches won’t work, or only one will. Another issue is that one switch will trigger a short circuit, tripping the circuit breaker.
