"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system. Brian was incredibly communicative, taking the time to discuss the project, timeline, and costs while patiently answering all of our questions. Patty was wonderful, making scheduling, paperwork, and communication easy and efficient. Their entire crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful. JR and Nick were exceptional foremen who went above and beyond to keep the project on track and ensure every detail was addressed. We'd also like to thank Mike, Julian, Trey, and Chris for their professionalism and craftsmanship. Rewiring an older home is a major undertaking, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Awesome Electrical Services, especially for owners of older homes."

"The Electrician called me immediately after I filled out the form on Service Magic. He was able to come and replace a bad switch i had within three hours of my having spoken with him. He was polite, professional and finished the job quickly and at an excellent price. I was very happy with the speed and quality of the service and would definitely use BN Electric again."

"Paul and his team are great! Of all the estimates we got for the work, Scott stood out because he listened to what we needed and knew about the house, gave reasonable suggestions based on his experience, and gave us a clear idea of what the work would entail. There was some difficulty in pinning down a date for the work, but that was the only hiccup we had in working with Pricelight. They showed up when they said they would, rather than giving a few hours as a "range" of arrival time each day, and his workers Paul and Nick checked in by phone when we couldn't be at the house and something came up. If other electric needs arise we will go to them first, and have already put in a good word with a neighbor."

"Simon and Keaton were great; They were timely and efficient and explained the pros and cons every step of the way. The end result of our outside lighting project was wonderful. Our neighbors immediately called us to compliment the job and asked who did it. We were delighted to refer them to Prodigy and will use them again for any future electrical needs."

"I had a great experience with this electrical company! They replaced my electrical panel and did an excellent job from start to finish. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and very respectful of my home. They explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure the job was done safely and correctly. The work was completed efficiently, everything was cleaned up afterward, and the new panel looks great. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work and will definitely use them again in the future!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to hire an electrician is around $350. However, every electrical job varies in scope, materials, and labor involved, so while you will likely pay anywhere between $85 and $1,100 for standard jobs, a project like rewiring a house can cost up to $30,000. You might also pay slightly higher prices if you need emergency work done or if the work involves accessing a hard-to-reach area in your home, like an attic or cramped crawlspace. You should ask your electrician for an estimate before agreeing to the work.

The number of outlets and lights you can safely run on a single circuit depends on the circuit's amperage and local electrical codes. A general rule is to allow one outlet or light fixture per 1.5 amps, keeping the total load under 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. For example, a 15-amp circuit can typically support up to eight outlets or lights, while a 20-amp circuit can accommodate up to ten. Always consider the combined power usage of all connected devices and fixtures to prevent overloading. For specific guidelines and to ensure safety, it is best to consult local electrical codes or a licensed electrician.

When installing an outdoor outlet, it's important to proceed with caution. Unless you have the necessary training and licensure, it's not recommended to attempt this DIY. First, choose a suitable location. Make sure that the area can accommodate the outlet without overloading the circuit. You'll also need to ensure that your project complies with building codes. Next, turn off the power to the circuit, then install and wire the outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the outlet is in place, test it. Lastly, be sure to use a cover that will protect it from moisture and other weather-related damage.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.
