"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."

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.
Common warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel or meter box include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering or dimming lights, scorch or burn marks, and a burning scent coming from the panel. A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.
To determine if an electrical outlet is blown, look for visible signs of damage such as a burning or smoky smell, burn marks, or a melted or discolored plastic cover. If you notice a burning smell, contact an electrician immediately. Other signs include a plug that keeps falling out or the outlet not working when you test it with different devices. For further troubleshooting, you can use a voltage tester or multimeter to check for power; a reading of zero indicates a problem. Also, check your circuit breaker or fuse box to see if the circuit was tripped and reset it if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the outlet may need to be replaced.
There are a few telltale signs that it’s time for a replacement. You should consider an upgrade if:
Your panel is over 25 years old
You’re adding a new electrical system
Your current system doesn’t offer the power you need
Your home is a jungle of power strips
Timers work by using an internal switch to turn power on or off to the cord plugged into it. Just the same way that a light switch turns lights on and off, the timer throws the switch at the programmed times.
