"Kevin did excellent work replacing an outdoor cable wire, obtaining a permit on my behalf from the local township and coordinating the work with the municipality and electricity supplier. He was thorough, knowledgeable and diligent and extremely patient despite the poor communication from the electricity supplier and crew. Kevin also made safe several outlets after mold remediation and a few others that he noticed requiring rewiring. Kevinâ s work and professionalism is exceptional and I highly recommend his services and will hire him again."

"I had a outside trench dug and electric run to an above ground pool. Bryan is great guy to work with. He was actually early to arrive just a nice guy you can trust to do it right. He was the first to call back and was out to check the work I needed the next day. Highly recommended if you need an electrician. Local inspector said it was a great job as well."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

Doorbell wires typically won't spark because they carry low voltage. However, if there's a short circuit or damaged wiring, sparking could occur. Always turn off the power at the breaker box before working with doorbell wires to prevent any risk. If you notice any sparking, it's a sign of a problem that a professional electrician should address.

You should never use a plug with burn marks because it can cause a fire or even an electrical shock. The burn marks could be caused by a dangerous underlying electrical problem, so it’s important to call a qualified electrician right away. 

Yes, a whole-house surge protector needs a designated breaker in your electrical panel. You will need to choose a double pole breaker that has two wire terminals so that your surge protector can connect to the breaker. This breaker needs two breaker slots inside of your panel. If you do not have room, then you will either need to adjust some of the existing breakers in the panel box or hire an electrician to install a subpanel.

No, because amps and volts measure very different things. However, you can use basic equations to find amps or volts by using data about one of the measurements to calculate the other.
