As winner of 2011 Harrisburg Magazine Readers� Choice Electrician, Hurley Electric, will continue to work diligently as your on-call electrician provider. We have been serving Central PA and the surrounding area since 2011. We are the company that other contractors call when they need a job done properly and promptly. We are a small company, so with little overhead, we can afford to give our full attention to you and your electrical problems. Our skilled technicians are very professional, and our staff takes pride in providing a high quality, completed product in a timely and friendly fashion. Hurley Electric, specializes in residential, commercial, and industrial wiring solutions- from the single receptacle replacement to generators to new and remodeled homes. We also offer quality installation, replacement, and/or repair of exterior building lighting. We provide 100-400 amp service upgrades, as well as lighting for landscaping and parking lots. We offer free estimates.

"The total cost for replacing a bathroom ceiling fan/light was $1,050. There was no quote provided prior and when I researched the part after it was around $150. The tech spent 2 hours installing. When I reached out to the company they did not want to budge at first. Then they offered $100 credit, but I refused. At most this should have cost $700. $150 for the part + $50 markup and 2 hours at their excessive labor rate of $250 per hour."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

First, check the current electrical code in your area to ensure spaces you’re considering meet the requirements. After that, your outlet’s location is up to you. If you’re moving it to hide wiring, you may want to move it in a spot that will also be hidden from view, such as behind a media center or table. As long as you meet the spacing guidelines set by electrical codes, you should be able to pick any spot in your home for an outlet. 

You should install a 25-amp breaker for your outdoor electrical outlet. If your outlet is only for use in an outdoor kitchen area for standard appliances, then a 15- to 20-amp circuit breaker should work. However, you will need to install a GFCI receptacle or breaker to ensure that the breaker trips on contact with water.

The easiest way to determine the amperage of your electrical outlets is to check the corresponding breaker in your home’s breaker panel. The number is likely noted on the circuit breaker. If that fails, it’s possible to tell 15-amp and 20-amp outlets apart by looking at them. Fifteen-amp outlets have two vertical holes, while 20-amp outlets have one vertical hole and one T-shaped hole.
