"Hammer Electric showed up early for the appointment and was very nice and professional. Their pricing was fair for the 200-amp service and recess lighting they added for mew. They did an amazing job. Very neat while working and cleaned up their work area when they left. I will hire again for my rental properties and refer others. I highly recommend them for any electrical needs."

"JDV Electric recently replaced my electrical panel and delivered outstanding service from start to finish. The technicians were professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. Before beginning the work, they took the time to remove the panel cover and thoroughly explain the existing damage, as well as how to prevent similar issues in the future. Unlike other companies that simply provided quotes without any explanation, JDV made sure I fully understood both the problem and their proposed solution. Their attention to detail and clear communication set them apart. The team worked efficiently and left the work area spotless, it was as if they had never been there. It?s rare to have a contractor complete a job without needing any cleanup afterward. I highly recommend JDV Electric for any electrical needs, and I will absolutely be using them again for future projects."

"Carlos is a PRO. Came out installed a new 200 amp electrical panel, conduit protected 200 amp line in, full bonding and grounding system, as well as ran a line and installed a generator interlock kit. He was thorough in showing me how to operate everything, the craftsmanship of his work was next level, everything up and running in a timely manner, and the cost was great. 10/10 would recommend for any and all electrical needs."

"hired DC Electrics to rewire my 3 storey townhouse, which was built in 1896 and had the old knob and tube wiring. I had lots of estimates from other companies and they all said the scope of damage would require me replacing my plaster walls and ceilings with sheetrock. Daryl is extremely knowledgeable about his craft, he was creative and knew instantly how it could be done without making too many holes in the ceiling or disturbing any of the crown molding. I was able to stay in the house for the duration too. Darylâ s crew were all professional, turned up on time and worked full days before cleaning up. He pulled permits and inspection was a breeze. He also advised me on some creative ways to light my house that I hadn't thought of and now I have lights in my garden. It was an extensive job which Daryl handled phenomenally. High quality work for a good fair price. I recently had to move an electrical panel to reconfigure a new bathroom. Again, DC Electrics to the rescue!"

"I had my electrical box replaced. They were very pleasant and professional. Arrived on time and completed the work in about 2 hours and explained what they were doing as they went along. They put labels on each of the switches so I would know where everything was. The las electrician I hired to add switches didn't do that."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The common, marked as COM or C, is one of the terminals found in your light switch. It houses the live wire that supplies the input voltage. The other terminals, marked as L1 or L2, are the outputs to the light fixtures. Depending on if you have a one-way or two-way switch, you’ll either have just an L1 terminal or both an L1 and L2 terminal.

Yes, an electrical fire can start even if nothing is plugged into an outlet. While a correctly functioning outlet poses no risk, a fire can be caused by faulty wiring, damaged outlet components, an overloaded circuit, or other electrical problems hidden behind the walls. If you suspect a fault, immediately turn off the circuit breaker and contact a professional electrician to diagnose and repair the issue.

Although homeowners can turn off a breaker, it’s vital to follow safety precautions when doing so to prevent serious and potentially fatal injuries. For instance, you want to ensure there is no water on the floor when you touch the breaker and wear protective gear such as safety glasses. Anytime you deal with anything electrical, it’s always best to be as safe as possible.

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

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.
