"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."
"My husband and I are more than pleased and satisfied with the electrical skills of Mark Harda. He also gave attention to a ceiling fan and light. Very clear with estimates, he came as planned and completed the proposed work in appropriate time frame. We will certainly reach out to this company in the future!"

"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. :)
"The gentlemen who performed the service were courteous and professional. They left the area as clean as when they started. I highly recommend AMF Electric!"
That depends on your setup. If a circuit breaker already has GFCI protection, then everything connected to that specific circuit is being monitored. You don’t need additional GFCI outlets on that breaker.
However, if the breaker is not GFCI, then you should have GFCI receptacles for at-risk outlets nearby water sources, because they are not receiving protection. Breakers in a breaker box can vary between GFCI and non-GFCI. Look for GFCI labels on the breaker or try to find the breaker model number to look it up if you aren’t sure.
If your fan is ceiling-mounted and will vent through the attic to the outside, you will need an electrician to handle the wiring, and if you need to install ductwork for the first time or replace existing ductwork, you will need an HVAC professional as well.
Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.
You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.
GFCI outlets generally need to be replaced every 7 to 15 years, though some may fail in as little as 5 years, depending on usage. It is important to test them regularly. Signs that a GFCI outlet is failing or has reached the end of its lifespan include: no power coming from the outlet, the outlet not resetting when the 'reset' button is pressed, or the outlet not tripping when the 'test' button is pressed. If you notice any of these issues, it is time to replace the outlet, and it's best to contact an electrician to do so.
