"I had a quote from a highly recommended company when I decided to contact DS Burkholder. Lester got back to me 3 times faster than the first company & quoted me a price that was hundreds of dollars less than the other company. He spent over 30 minutes with me discussing my needs and ideas of what electrical changes needed to be addressed. He was always quickly responsive, thorough, and a clear and effective communicator. I emailed him two additional items before our appointment and he gave me concrete prices and just added them to the estimate. He sent a team of hard workers who clearly have pride in doing a great job. This job was such a bright spot that it helped offset a very bad experience with another contractor. Very, very pleased with everything!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When selecting a pool heater, it’s important to think not just about the cost of the unit itself but also about how much it costs to run. Expect to pay about $100 per month to run a heat pump pool heater. A natural gas heater will cost twice that amount, while an electric pool heater costs about $250 a month.

An outlet can trip because the circuit it’s on is overloaded, meaning the devices plugged into it are drawing more power than the circuit can safely carry. Another culprit could be because a power surge from a storm or accident caused a problem with your local electrical grid or there’s a short or a fault causing power to run through the circuit in a dangerous or unplanned way.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

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.

It’s generally not recommended to run electric to a shed above ground, and you should instead run electric lines underground via a conduit. This job, like all electrical jobs, is best left to a pro, as they’ll need to ensure everything is installed safely and that they don’t run into any other utility lines underground.
