"I've had Glenn of GA Electric to my house multiple times over the years -- I keep calling him back because he's efficient, friendly, and I learn something from him each time. When we first moved in he did basics for us such as GFCI install, adding new receptacles, and fixing a poorly done junction box. Subsequent visits he added a light to a ceiling fan and hooked up new radiant heat in a bathroom. He has allowed me to linger while he works and talks to me about what he's doing so I get to learn something. He has responded very quickly each time I called to schedule work, and his prices seem very reasonable. I should also emphasize how friendly he is! It's fun to have him in the house."
"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."
"Dan was very professional and fast. He called within a half hour of my quote request, came out the next day to provide an estimate, two days later the job was done. Pricing was extremely reasonable and payment was easy with credit card and Apple Pay options. I would definitely recommend DM electrical services to anyone needing an electrician."
"Friendly, knowledgeable electrician. Showed up on time. Explained to me that he could not give me an estimate because it could be a simple job or, not so simple. Wouldn't know until he examined problem, and that could not happen until I hired him. *I Understood and I hired him. Repair took 30-minutes. I had him check something else because I had agreed to pay a minimum of 1-hour. The additional electrical check took another 15-minutes. ... Payment time came and he said he would charge me $60 instead of the $65 (per hour) quoted. I said thanks and wrote the check. He then said, "I forgot. I also have to charge you a $24 'lead fee' that Home Advisor charges me". ... I did not like the "after-sale" bump but paid it anyway. Since when does a customer have to pay for the marketing a contractor does? ... So, my recommendation to any reader of this review is this: He did great work. Was prompt and professional but, but, but, find out EXACTLY what his time will cost you INCLUDING any "fringe" charges if any. Don't let what I allowed to happen to me happen to you."

There are several reasons why an electrical outlet would suddenly stop working, including:
Broken parts in the outlet
Outlet burnout
Circuit breaker tripped
Damaged circuit breaker
GFCI outlet tripped
Damaged or loose wires
Failed connectors
Appliance failure
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.
An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.
By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores.
If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.
Soldering is a reliable and durable way to connect wires, but it isn't the only method. Nowadays, professionals often crimp the connection instead—although this requires a higher degree of skill than soldering.
