"I hired Hughes Electrical to install my electric vehicle charging station in my garage, and they did a wonderful job! William and his apprentice ran a new 50 amp electrical line from my electric box to my charging station, going through the basement and up the side wall. Afterwards, they gave me a free inspection and an estimate for new outlets outside. I am very pleased to have worked with them and will be recommending them to all my neighbors!"
"I needed 4 separate lines put in and Brandon Electric came to our home with a professional team of electricians and completed the job without shutting off the electric. I will recommend Brandon Electric to anyone."

"After waking up to the smell of burning dust and a noise that could not mean anything good, my husband and I realized that our 18 year old gas furnace was trying to die on us. Not a good feeling to say the least. I had used HL Bowman last summer for some plumbing work and was VERY pleased. I called them fairly early this morning, and to be honest I assumed that I would get an answering service or answering machine. Instead, the phone was answered on the 2nd ring and in less than 3 minutes I had a service call scheduled. Responsive? You bet! I was told a technician would arrive late morning and a technician arrived by 10:30. Punctual? Absolutely! The technician (I hate that I forgot his name) diagnosed our problem almost immediately and had us up and running by 12:00. (And that includes the time it took him to go pick up the part we needed). Quality, Integrity and Professionalism beyond compare! Thank you H.L. Bowman for being an honest and professional company. I will tell all of my neighbors and friends about you! My only regret is that you don't also do electrical work. :)

Technically, an outdoor outlet can be on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, but it's generally not recommended. Outdoor outlets should ideally be on a dedicated circuit that doesn't share power with other indoor or outdoor outlets. This helps ensure that the outdoor outlets are able to handle the additional electrical load without overloading the circuit. Additionally, outdoor outlets are often exposed to the elements, which can increase the risk of electrical shock and other hazards. If you must have an outdoor outlet on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, be sure that the circuit has the capacity to handle the additional load.
It’s recommended that you test GFCI outlets monthly with the test and reset buttons. At minimum, you should test GFCI outlets when entering a new season, or every three months. These are important home safety features that you should ensure work properly.
The life expectancy of a home electrical panel is typically around 25 to 40 years. However, this can vary based on usage, maintenance, and technological advancements. Regular inspections by a qualified electrician can help determine the condition and potential need for replacement as your panel ages. Factors like overloading, outdated components, or wear and tear might prompt earlier replacements for safety and efficiency reasons.
The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).
You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.
