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

On average, the cost to run electricity to an above ground pool is about $1,000. Certain factors can increase or cut these costs. For example, a larger pool or one farther from your house may require additional trenching for wiring, bringing costs as high as $4,000. On the other hand, a standard-sized pool closer to your home may only cost $350 to hook up to electricity.

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 two-way switch is also called a single-pole or single-throw switch. These switches only have an on-and-off function and only control a single light or series of lights wired together. A three-way switch has no “on” or "off” position and works with a second switch in the circuit to control a single light or light series from two locations.

You’ll need to locate and hire an electrician near you if there’s an electrical project you don’t feel comfortable tackling yourself. Generally, look for a contractor that specializes in the type of appliance or component that you need help with. For wiring, outlets and similar projects, a general electrician is your best bet. For larger remodels, a general contractor will often take care of electrical projects via subcontractors.

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.
