"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.

"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!"
Wiring can last anywhere from 50 to 70 years, but all kinds of mishaps can occur that reduce the lifespan of your electrical wiring, including severe weather conditions, pests, and even faulty wiring. Keeping a preventative maintenance scheduling and hiring an electrician for an annual electrical inspection will keep your wiring system around for as long as possible.
Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.
While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.
The wrong-sized wire can lead to several safety hazards, including structural fires, surges, power outages from tripped breakers, and electrocution. It’s important to follow the American Wire Gauge system and the National Electrical Code guidelines to safely wire a home. Electrical wiring is not safe for homeowners to handle and is best left to a licensed electrician.
Modern homes have a lot of devices and appliances running at once. That means there are many different wires and cables throughout the house. Service entrance conductors (also known as service entrance cables or service feed wires) connect the external weatherhead for the utility pole to the circuit breaker box. This is your home’s connection to your local power grid.
