"BJ was the first to respond (within minutes) to my request for help with an electrical issue I was having in my garage. Initially, we both thought it was an issue with a bad GFI so he replaced it. However, that proved to not be the case, rather it was an external plug (sharing the same wall) that was connected to a bad extension cord...thus the outage at the GFI and all the outlets in the garage. He continued to check in over the course of the next two days to verify that the solution was working. I really appreciated the diligence and the thoroughness. I would highly recommend Little Buddy!"

"Dave, the owner, is a very customer service oriented professional. He quickly diagnosed the 2 problems that I had and offered suggestions on how to repair the situations. I chose to order the part myself for one of the problems. He repaired out stair lights within minutes. There is a $100 minimum charge for coming out that you should be aware of, but I would highly recommend Dave and Tomahawk Electric, Inc. if you are looking for a dependable electrician."

"Joshua is a very detail oriented trades person and really took interest in my project and showed a high level of enthusiasm. He listened to my concerns and explained everything he planned to do to fix the numerous (and somewhat complex) problems with my electrical panel and old wiring. He was super easy to communicate with and really made me feel comfortable around him and comfortable knowing he was going to make my home electrical system safe. I wouldnâ t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and Iâ ll be using him for future electrical projects too. He was slightly more expensive than other quotes I received yet still very competitive and when considering the extra time he spent fixing things that werenâ t in the quote I believe the price was spot on."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

A C-wire is typically blue, but don’t rely on colors to find which wire is which when it comes to thermostat wires. The C-wire may also be black, brown, or purple. Instead, if you’re looking for the C-wire, look at the thermostat panel for a wire connecting to “terminal C,” or call in a pro to help you look for a C-wire.

The life expectancy of a home electrical panel is typically around 25 to 40 years. However, this can vary based on usage, maintenance, and technological advancements. Regular inspections by a qualified electrician can help determine the condition and potential need for replacement as your panel ages. Factors like overloading, outdated components, or wear and tear might prompt earlier replacements for safety and efficiency reasons.

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.
