"Jusstin and Devon know their business--they're efficient, reliable, personable, and reasonably priced. Devon did a fantastic job of diagnosing problems with a patio lighting system in a place we'd just purchased, and about whose wiring we knew nothing. He figured it all out--chased down the problem, and fixed it! Wentzel Electric is all about code and certification, reassuring when we see what other less-qualified electricians and DIYers have installed in the past."
"Raudy Electric delivers exceptional service that stands out. He, himself is incredibly personable and friendly, making the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. His thorough approach ensures that no detail is overlooked, and he goes above and beyond to be helpful. The pricing is very fair, offering excellent value for the quality of work provided. On top of that, the job was completed quickly without sacrificing attention to detail. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient electrician, Raudy Electric is the perfect choice! Highly recommended."

"I hired MRA Electric to install a new electrical panel, new roof fan, and new wiring for a dryer I was moving. Nick is very professional, explained everything I needed done and was always on time.

"Troy was awesome. Incredibly professional, punctual, honest and kind. He fixed problems cause by another electrician/contractor and made it look easy. I would highly recommend him and will use him for all future electrical needs."
It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.
If all of the outlets in one room suddenly stop working, it’s likely the result of a tripped circuit breaker. This easy-to-resolve malfunction is caused by overloading the circuit with too many working appliances at the same time. Locate the tripped breaker in your electrical panel and reset it to restore power.
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.
Be careful not to drop your voltmeter or multimeter. Even a small fall can affect the tool’s ability to measure with accuracy. Always store your tools in their cases in a cool, dark place. Also, avoid touching the probes to each other while they’re connected to a circuit or another electrical component, and never tamper with anything inside the device.
Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.
