"Brian did excellent work on my somewhat challenging EV home charger installation. Brian /Unity will certainly be at the top of my list for my next electrical project. Also kudos for the office staff: they were very friendly and helpful."

"Just purchased a new home and I had a dead short for the disposal. I was worried about the cost given the other renovation projects I have. I called and spoke to Troy and scheduled an appointment just a few days later. He arrived first thing in the morning as promised and was a complete professional. He had repairs completed within an hour and was super friendly and knowledgeable. I will not only call this company for any future electrical needs, but I will recommend them to anyone I know who needs an electrician."

"Great. Joe Zimmerman of AAA Computers showed up on time, knew exactly what he was doing, and even supplied a power cord which was missing from the box the movers had packed the computers in. He went out of his way to make sure things were working correctly and gave me a tutorial on fixing issues by myself were additional problems to crop up."

"Talk about a great experience!  We had a salesman over to our house and realized quite quickly we could not afford new siding, though it was needed.  The salesman worked with us, and found a way that for about $200 a month, we could finance.  We set the date, and the crew arrived about 7 weeks later.  At first I was not sure these 2 guys were the "crew" to do the work but they were awesome.  On the first  day, they had delivered our material out onto the street, which is a violation of our city ordinances if the material is not coned off.  In response, the two guys hand unloaded both pallets onto our property and off the street to make sure the city, and neighbors, would not be upset.  

They walked the job with us and we changed the plans a little and asked for some lights to be installed, as well as a faulty electrical switch and security light to be worked on since they were general contractors.  For a minimal amount, they sent out an electrician that night to fix the issue, and by the next day, the crew was back on track.  They worked quickly, doing repairs and siding in less than a week and the results were incredible.  After they were done, they walked the job and picked up every scrap of material, nails, and anything else they found that might be a problem.  Without asking, they even fixed 2 exterior lights that haven't worked since we moved in.  They found the wiring problem, and just fixed it free of charge.  

Further, they found our dog's missing license, rabies, and Id tag she had lost almost a week earlier that we could not find.  When it was done, the place looked incredible and clean.  You would never know that we even had work done at all by how they left the site.  Every day they walked the job with us to show us progress as well as problem areas they saw so we were 100% on board with every decision, and every move made.  There were never any surprises that we were not made 100% aware of before anything was done about it.  We plan on using them further for any roof, window, or extra work we need done.  

They were AMAZING!!!!  We highly recommend them for their superior product, customer care, and work ethic.  Thank you so much guys."

"The Arizona company, My Computer Works, is in a class of itself. Once you understand the working of it, through the Queue system, when working with Male or Female, all English speaking! they will answer all your questions. I had a major mess with my computer and hacked, they resolved and back on the road again. They spotted the Default in my previous hard drive and the possible of over heating with the tower, and all was resolved. I would as a blind person, and even not as a blind person Highly recommend this company! Very easy to work with! Well worth the money! For the year coverage and 24 hours a day!

"We have American Home Shield warranty. We did have some plumbing and electrical work done. I have no idea who the service was because we did it through the home warranty. They have a $75 deductible for everything. American Home Shield has been great, definitely A across the board. The $75 deductible seemed great for cost and professionalism. They have a web site, Hub, where you can request service and everything, so A across the board for them. They are punctual and they cover the range of plumbing and - they cover a lot of issues with the home so I can always go to them if anything goes wrong, from plumbing to electrical to appliances. They've got me covered across the board."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

A 100 amp electrical service panel can't convert into a 200 amp panel simply by switching the breakers or adding circuits. Upgrading from 100 to 200 amps typically requires replacing the circuit box and updating the electrical service coming into the house. Your electrician will handle the details of the project to ensure a safe and thorough installation.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.

You can distinguish the amplitude and voltage of most outlets by looking at the shape and positioning of the holes. Other features like buttons, switches, and USB ports help identify electric outlets, too. Use labeled images, like the ones we’ve included above, to cross-reference with your outlets.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.
