"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."

"Billy was very responsive: I got a call from him right away after I described my job online (replace garbage disposal). He was able to schedule the job for the next day (which was within 24 hours). He was actually early for the job (which was fine by me), and he had the old unit off and the new unit on in about 30 minutes. Very friendly; extremely professional. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent. Electrical work in a 120 year old house in not easy at best, its a real challenge that includes working in the old attic and basement. The fans are beautiful and both working as promised. They cleaned up after the job and worked steady the whole time they were here. Could not be more pleased and will use them again whenever I need electrical work done. Thanks!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Usually, your house panel is one of the key components that must be replaced when upgrading your amp service. In many cases, you will also need to upgrade your meter base as well as other electrical components.

Outdoor outlets should be at least 15-amp, but preferably 20-amp. The exact rating will depend on the electrical load of the devices that will be plugged into the outlet and the capacity of the circuit. It's important not to overload the circuit, which can cause safety hazards such as tripped breakers or electrical fires. In general, a circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended for outdoor outlets, while each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps.

You should install a 25-amp breaker for your outdoor electrical outlet. If your outlet is only for use in an outdoor kitchen area for standard appliances, then a 15- to 20-amp circuit breaker should work. However, you will need to install a GFCI receptacle or breaker to ensure that the breaker trips on contact with water.

Yes, a light switch still has power even when switched off. Switches only interrupt or continue the flow of electricity into a fixture or outlet; they do not shut off the power flowing into the wire. The only way to shut off power in a light switch is to turn off the power at the circuit breaker.

The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn’t currently include them.
