Jim was very professional, friendly and informative. He knew exactly what to do and did all the jobs quickly without disturbance.

We initially hired Mr. Electric do the 200 amp panel upgrade but quickly realized what a great electrician we had so we asked for a quote to do other jobs in our home. The quote was very fast and Tom worked with us to get it in our hands and worked around our schedules to get the work completed. We are really pleased at all the work and will gladly recommend Mr. Electric to all. We will always use this company for all things electrical!

"Kevin did excellent work replacing an outdoor cable wire, obtaining a permit on my behalf from the local township and coordinating the work with the municipality and electricity supplier. He was thorough, knowledgeable and diligent and extremely patient despite the poor communication from the electricity supplier and crew. Kevin also made safe several outlets after mold remediation and a few others that he noticed requiring rewiring. Kevinâ s work and professionalism is exceptional and I highly recommend his services and will hire him again."

"I was able to secure an initial appointment with Shawn quickly. On the first visit, he took the time to evaluate the situation and present a solution to my wiring request which was to add additional lighting to the outside of the garage. Shawn was able to run wiring in a nearly inaccessible wall, checking to make sure the lights will all sit level and not leaving until we both walked the inside and outside of the garage to make sure every light and outlet was in working order. We ha e already discussed the next project. I would definitely hire Eason Electric for future projects."

"Very polite and kind, punctual and great at coming up with alternative solutions for a problem that is cost effective and solves the issue. I will be hiring them again in the future for all my electrical needs. Thank you for picking up a project that another never finished and doing it right and the same day."

"Mike was professional, courteous, knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He was especially patient as he described how I had incorrectly attempted to wire these two switches. He completed the job very quickly. I give him my highest recommendation and will hire him for another electrical project shortly."

"The team from SOS Electrical installed nine ultra-slim ceiling lights and a chandelier in our home in Mt Gretna. Chris & Evan did a fantastic job. They were timely, responsive and professional from first contact, to the initial visit for the quote, through the whole installation process. They took care to minimize drilling in the ceiling and helped plan out the light spacing. The lights in our home look fantastic! Moreover, they are reasonably priced - the final cost actually came in slightly less than their original estimate and that was great too. I would definitely use them again for future electrical projects. Highly recommend!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

Tankless water heaters won’t increase your electric bill. Since tankless water heaters are more efficient than tank water heaters, installing one in your home will actually allow you to save money on your electric bill. The Department of Energy estimates you can save $100 or more each year with a high-efficiency tankless water heater.

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.

Unfortunately, a partial power outage without a tripped breaker often means you have a major wiring issue or that the breaker itself is going bad. When the power is out in one room but the breaker is not tripped, you need to call an electrician as soon as possible to identify the cause of the problem and repair it.

The main reason outlets become loose is because the contact points have started to wear down after years of use. Occasionally, poor wiring can cause heat or sparks that can damage the outlet and cause it to become loose. Either way, if your plugs slide out after being inserted into the outlet, it’s time to replace it.
