"I've had Glenn of GA Electric to my house multiple times over the years -- I keep calling him back because he's efficient, friendly, and I learn something from him each time. When we first moved in he did basics for us such as GFCI install, adding new receptacles, and fixing a poorly done junction box. Subsequent visits he added a light to a ceiling fan and hooked up new radiant heat in a bathroom. He has allowed me to linger while he works and talks to me about what he's doing so I get to learn something. He has responded very quickly each time I called to schedule work, and his prices seem very reasonable. I should also emphasize how friendly he is! It's fun to have him in the house."

"Greg at "Let there be light" electric did a great service for me. He was flexible with scheduling. Showed up on time. We needed to trouble shoot some , to figure exactly where the problem was. He was quite knowledgable throughout the processes of elimination. Ultimately we found the best solution and stayed completely in budget. It's been 2 weeks now and everything is still working as it should. Great deal all the way around."

"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."

"I needed some help wiring my basement and Troy and his team were able to help me complete the job without a hitch. They were professional, knowledgeable, and worked fast. I take great comfort knowing that I have an electrician that I can count on. I couldn't recommend Troy and his Mr. Electric team enough for all your electrical needs."

"We have nothing but praise and highly recommend Star Bright Electric. From our first meeting and throughout our projects, Michael, the owner was professional, friendly, pleasant and punctual. He and his worker John had the same work ethic including being very thorough, efficient, caring and diligent. They performed quality work while explaining and reviewing everything throughout the job. They respected our home & cleaned up perfectly during and after completion. Once again, Thank you so much Michael and John for your excellent first class work and a great experience!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Basic smart light switches are available for as little as $20. If you can install them yourself, it’s a home upgrade that won’t break the bank. Many homeowners view them as a worthwhile investment for the additional convenience and security they can offer. However, they are a little more tricky to install than standard light switches, so if you don’t have the electrical knowledge to do a DIY job, unless you need a lighting upgrade, remember these are a nice-to-have rather than a necessary purchase.

Electrical fixes are best handled by a licensed electrician, but it’s possible to release a wire connection on your own. Be sure to always turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker before beginning your project to avoid electric shock. Carefully insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the rectangular hole beneath the wire. Hold the outlet in the palm of your other hand. Pull out the wire as you apply pressure with the screwdriver.

Choosing between 12- or 14-gauge wire for your house depends on the electrical requirements of the circuit. A 12-gauge wire is thicker and can handle more power, making it better suited for devices such as kitchen appliances, air conditioning units, or electric heaters.

A 14-gauge wire is thinner and can handle less electrical current than a 12-gauge wire. It's ideal for circuits with lower power requirements, such as lighting or general-purpose outlets in bedrooms or living rooms.

You should never wire neutral and ground wires together at a light switch. Not only is it unsafe, but it’s also incorrect. The neutral and ground wires perform separate functions in an electrical circuit and should never be swapped or wired together at a light switch, light, or outlet. 

Compared to amps, volts, and watts, ohms are a different kind of measurement, though also very common. Ohms show the resistance of materials like wiring: How much they impede the flow of electrons. The reason household wiring is usually copper or aluminum is that these materials are affordable and also have lower ohms, which means low resistance/high conductivity.
