"Evol Electric is the tops! We requested quotes from 4 other contractors, but for the QUALITY and price, Evol canâ t be beat. They upgraded our 100-year old home, making it safe, bright, and new. Chyke and Denise are deeply knowledgeable, flexible, responsive, and personable to boot: Iâ d hire them again in a flash, and will heartily recommend them to all."

"Hammer Electric showed up early for the appointment and was very nice and professional. Their pricing was fair for the 200-amp service and recess lighting they added for mew. They did an amazing job. Very neat while working and cleaned up their work area when they left. I will hire again for my rental properties and refer others. I highly recommend them for any electrical needs."

"JDV Electric recently replaced my electrical panel and delivered outstanding service from start to finish. The technicians were professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. Before beginning the work, they took the time to remove the panel cover and thoroughly explain the existing damage, as well as how to prevent similar issues in the future. Unlike other companies that simply provided quotes without any explanation, JDV made sure I fully understood both the problem and their proposed solution. Their attention to detail and clear communication set them apart. The team worked efficiently and left the work area spotless, it was as if they had never been there. It?s rare to have a contractor complete a job without needing any cleanup afterward. I highly recommend JDV Electric for any electrical needs, and I will absolutely be using them again for future projects."

"We solicited three bids for the electrical work we wanted done in our home. We met representatives of three companies from our search of Angieâ s List and Home Advisor and received three different bids on the job. We then did out due diligence reading customer reviews and chose Generation 3 Electrical & HVAC. From proposal to completion, the people we interacted with were courteous, considerate, and professional. If youâ re looking for a company who employs licensed electricians who take pride in their work and know how to treat their customers, we highly recommend Generation 3 Electrical & HVAC. Our family wants to thank the office manager, Nicole, and the electricians, Corey, Ed, and Kevin for being courteous, answering all our questions, and for the great work you did at our home."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If only half of your outlet works, there are usually two possible causes: faulty wiring or a half-hot outlet. The first thing you'll want to do is check the circuit breaker panel to ensure that it's not tripped. If your circuit breaker isn't tripped, turn off the electricity and inspect the wiring to see if anything has come loose or corroded. 

If you have a half-hot outlet, it means half of the outlet is controlled by a switch somewhere on the same circuit, which should be nearby. This is an intentional electrical design commonly found in rooms without overhead lights.

Outlets do wear out, usually within 15-25 years, but they can fail even sooner than that —sometimes in a matter of years. If your plugs always slide out after you put them in, this is a sign your outlets need to be replaced. Additionally, if your outlets are damaged, cracked, discolored, or regularly tripping the circuit breaker, they may be at the end of their life.

Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.

Yes, standard dimmer switches should never be used to control a ceiling fan motor. They’re designed for lighting, not motors, and they can cause humming, overheating, or permanent damage. You should only use switches that are specifically labeled for fan speed control.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit.
