"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system.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."

"George did the work in a very professional manor. He was responsive to my calls, came to estimate and do the work when he said that he would and completed the work without any extras. His actual cost came in under his estimate. I just had work certified by independent inspector per code requirements without any comments"

"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."

"240V line installed for dryer hook-up. Tom let me know he was on his way, surveyed the area, provided quote. Once accepted, he ran wiring to panel and installed new plug/mounted it on the stone wall with wood panel cut out and was done in about 2 hours. Cleaned up the area and moved on. On time, on target-all I could ask for. Well done!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Yes, wires are still hot, even if the light switch is off. The only way to ensure the wire is no longer live and that you can work with it safely is to open your circuit breaker, locate the breaker for the outlet you’re working with, and turn off the breaker for that outlet.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

The copper wire used in knob and tube wiring systems can last up to 100 years. However, it’s considered a dangerous and outdated wiring method because the cloth, fabric, or rubber insulation sheathing can become brittle and fall apart. Knob and tube wiring systems should be inspected if you’re considering buying a home with this type of wiring, or if you have problems with frequently tripping breakers, a sign that you may need to replace them.

Yes, pool pumps use a significant amount of electricity, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in a home. A pool pump can use up to three times as much electricity as a refrigerator. Typically, a residential pool pump consumes about 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every hour it runs. Because pumps often need to run for about eight hours a day to properly filter the water, this can add up to an annual consumption of 3,000 to 5,000 kWh, which can cost between $480 and $800 per year based on average electricity rates.

The amount of electricity your pump uses depends on its size, energy efficiency, and daily run time. To lower your energy consumption, you can choose an energy-efficient or variable-speed pump, ensure it is correctly sized for your pool, and run it only for the minimum time required to keep the water clean.

Yes, the National Electric Code (NEC) requires at least one GFCI outlet in each sectioned-off portion of an unfinished basement, partly to ensure a power source is available for a sump pump in case of flooding. If you install multiple outlets in your unfinished basement, all of them must be GFCI-protected. For finished basements, standard outlets are generally permitted, but at least one GFCI outlet is still required per circuit. Keep in mind that local municipalities may have additional codes, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to ensure your home is fully compliant.
