"Shane returned my call within 30 minutes, immediately came out, diagnosed the problem with an 18 year old microwave. went to his truck for a replacement fuse, and everything works like new. Now that is a true professional who will get any future appliance business in addition to any referrals I can send his way. I'm very satisfied. Ron B. Central Point"

"Excellent!  I can't say enough good things about Thomas and Dave.  My appointment time was between 8-9am, Thomas and Dave arrived promptly at 8am, after introducing themselves recapping the problems I was having they went right to work. They were very professional yet friendly and worked efficiently and quickly.  I was impressed at their thoroughness.  Before coming in the house they even put on the blue "booties" to keep the floors clean. 
They fixed my multiple electrical issues, they installed a new ring doorbell for me that allows you to see and talk to anyone at your door whether you are home or not.  I also had them give me quotes for other electrical projects.
I will use them for all my future electrical needs and will refer them to everyone I know.
Thank you Thomas, Dave and Double J Electric.

"I was contacted by a Tech at the assigned time and had to run to the store for a cable I needed. When I called back, I had a different Tech, but he was able to continue right where I had left off. There was no need to explain anything again. Awesome."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.

With AC wiring, which is the kind most likely you’ll find at home, the black wire is “hot,” and the white is “neutral.” The bare or green wire is considered the safety ground wire. If you encounter DC wiring, it’s relatively easy to tell positive or negative wires apart. red wires are used to indicate positive voltage and black wires indicate negative voltage.

Yes, if something sparks when you plug it in or turn it on, it's important to unplug it immediately. A spark from an electrical appliance or device could indicate a short circuit, damaged wiring, or other electrical problems that could cause electrical fires or electrical shock. By unplugging the appliance, you can reduce the risk of electrical hazards and prevent damage to the device itself. It's important to avoid using the appliance until it has been inspected and repaired by a licensed professional to ensure that it’s safe to use.

It's less expensive to run power overhead because it doesn’t require excavation, and the power cables are less costly. However, underground electric service is better protected from weather and general wear and tear, so it’s less likely to get damaged. When determining which way to run power, consult a local electrician to get an expect opinion.

Yes, but our analogy with the water hose doesn’t really work here. You see, electrical flow isn’t constant: It ebbs and flows like waves, coming in pulses of power. Hertz measures the rate of change in the flow of electricity, or how often it ebbs and flows. For example, 60Hz means that the electrons pulse through wiring 60 times per second. When they are pulsing, they’re in a brief retreat. Almost all United States equipment is rated for 60Hz.
