"Very professional and knowledgeable. Came the same day I contacted home advisor. Scott ended up calling me JUST as I finished my home advisor questionnaire. I actually ended up hiring him for a light fixture, but he came and checked other concerns we had. We are now hiring him for these concerns as well. These other concerns included the frayed casing of the exterior wiring going to the meter box, which leads to circuit breaker box. There is actually a lot of rust, and the entire system needs to be replaces. If it is not replaced, the breakers may no longer trip correctly, and if that occurs, I could lose all electrical to the home unless I replaced the entire circuit breaker box. With all of the rain we have been having (three weeks of it without two sunny days in a row), I think it is best to be proactive rather than reactive. He quoted us a very good price for an all day long job to replace the and also fix the grounding by our main water line. I definitely trust Scott as a knowledgeable electrician and will recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you, Home advisor, for matching me up with him! You will not regret hiring him for your electrical project."

"Dr. Watts Electrical Services has kind workers who do their job thoroughly and extremely well. They even made sure my gecko had heat and power while they worked on my house's electrical issues. They were respectful and truly wanted to do their best work to ensure my home was cared for and safe without future issues popping up later. I will go to them if something else ever happens and I will recommend them to others as well."

"Erwin and Harold from Edinson Electrical Solutions visited us to work on the dishwasher, the circuit breaker panel, outlets and possible installation of a new outlet box in the basement. Erwin was very thorough. He went through all the requirements of what needed to be done and provided options for us to pick. We wound up putting in a new outlet box for the dishwasher (which he diagnosed as needing replacement). He installed a new whole house surge protector at the circuit breaker panel. He fixed a few of the troublesome outlets. We decided not to install the outlet box in the basement at this time. What was impressive was the time he spent explaining the pros and cons of what needed to be done. I appreciated the explanations. They did an outstanding job for us and not was reasonable for the work that was performed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

Motion sensors are actually an eco-friendly option and don’t use as much electricity compared to other lighting sources. Motion sensor lights are always on “standby,” which requires a phantom source of power at all times, but for most sensor light models, this is only a small amount of electricity—typically around one watt of power.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

The main types are 15-amp 120-volt outlets (2-prong and 3-prong), 20-amp 125-volt outlets, and 240-volt outlets for large appliances. Safety types include GFCI, AFCI, tamper-resistant, and weather-resistant outlets. Convenience types include switched, combination, USB, smart, and rotating outlets.

There are several indicators that a single-pole switch is bad: the switch is warm or hot to the touch, sparks are sometimes present when turning the switch on or off, you hear a buzzing sound or other weird noise coming from the switch, the connected light flickers when you turn on the switch, and the light doesn't turn on at all with the switch. If you notice any of these, replace the switch or call a pro straight away.
