"Photo electric went above and beyond to assist my mom with her electrical needs. They even got a wood chipper for the branches they cleared for the elect pole. I live in California and arranged the job while I was visiting my mom in Oregon. Rod kept me up to date on progress and his recommendations were greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Rod and his team!!!"

"It did not start out auspiciously.  I had originally called them up and requested that they schedule me for a Friday, any Friday, after 11 am (this was to give me time to get to the work site from my home, it is a rental property 75 miles distant). I didn't have a pressing requirement to get the work done soon, and I wanted to be present when they started to explain the scope of the work.  They assigned me a day about three weeks distant for an 11am appointment.  As I drove to meet them at about 9:30 on the appointed morning I got a call from my tenants at the work site, telling me that the electricians had already showed up!  I was not happy about this, and told them to direct the workmen to start on some of the simpler items.

The two men they sent were competent, and quickly wired up the bathroom fan.  However, I was disappointed to see that they used switches that didn't match the color of the other switches in the room - I had switches that would have matched the color, but I had not arrived yet.  They progressed through my punch list of items, and quickly accomplished everything but the three-way circuit.  This turned out to be a difficult problem; a previous tenant had started to re-wire the circuit, and stopped short of finishing the job.  As a result there were wires going to places through walls that could not be identified.  I went up in the attic to see the situation, and I could see that this was a nearly hopeless job to untangle without committing to opening up walls and running a completely new set of wires.

I decided to just get out of the way, and let them puzzle on it for a while.  To my surprise, they worked it out and got a three-way upstairs / downstairs light switch circuit working!  I was quite impressed by this bit of detective work!

On balance, my experience was a bit mixed.  The scheduling mixup really bothered me, and resulted in some things being done in a way that I would not have approved had I been on-site.  On the other hand, I admired their tenacity in getting that attic circuit figured out.

Would I hire again is a tricky question; I learned that I was paying their time to travel a fairly long distance compared to some electricians that were more local, so on the basis of cost alone it probably makes sense for me to use a different company."

"I called Distinct because we were having electrical outlet issues with our outdoor tv, and with a big event coming up we really wanted it working. Not only did they get back to me right away, they sent someone out before that event! He was professional and got right to work to fix the problem. We will definitely be calling Distinct for any future electrical needs!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

This depends on how many outlets you have and the current status of your electrical system. The cost to ground an outlet clocks in at $75 to $480 per outlet, so multiply that by the number of outlets in your home to arrive at a rough estimate. However, this is for simple projects with no obvious issues with the system. Your final bill could vary widely from your calculations.

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

Running conduits through an exterior wall is an effective method for powering outdoor spaces. From gardens to sheds to garages and more, it can be important to have electricity outdoors. Using conduit, which safely covers wires outdoors, is an easy way to get power where homeowners need it.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).
