"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system.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

"The Electrician called me immediately after I filled out the form on Service Magic. He was able to come and replace a bad switch i had within three hours of my having spoken with him. He was polite, professional and finished the job quickly and at an excellent price. I was very happy with the speed and quality of the service and would definitely use BN Electric again."

"Prodigy Electrical is top notch!! From the moment they stepped on the property, they were professional. They arrived at 8:00 A.M. and hit the floor running. Keaton (owner), Simon ( lead tech), Ken and Tim went right to what had to be done. We were having the main panel upgraded: 2 ceiling fans, and their circuits installed: an outdoor box and cabling installed for the new hot tub, and a new meter / main switch installed. They kept us informed the whole time. Cleaned up after each stage of install. When they were done (4:15 P.M.), you wouldnt have known that they were here. They cleaned up every site they worked in. Took all the mess and garbage with them. We would and do highly recommend Prodigy Electrical Group. You will be very happy you hired them. Andrew & Cyndi K. Derry, PA"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Different fences use different amounts of electricity, but their operating costs are very low overall. Electric fences pull between 4 and 25 watts from the system if you have an average-sized yard. Barring any complicated math, you can expect an average electric fence to cost less than $5 a month to run. Aboveground electric fences, which are not typical for residential use or small animals, can cost more, but you shouldn't notice a significant change in your electric bill. 

Yes, electric fences need power to operate. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. In heavy snow or extreme rain, or if the power goes out, your electric fence might stop working. Knowing how to test an electric fence is important for figuring out if the fence is still functioning properly.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

Yes, you can run an above-ground electrical conduit and stay within National Electrical Code safety guidelines. Just make sure you check the code requirements of your project with the local building regulations office. You should work with a local electrician to complete this type of project due to the personal safety hazards.
