"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."

"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."

"I hired RS Bright Light Electrical LLC to install a charging station for an electric car in my garage. Sumit Gogna came to our home and provided us with a free estimate. The job was bigger than my husband and I were expecting, but Sumit explained all of the work involved (we had to dedicate a new panel to the charging station) and the charges ahead of time. Sumit had 2 other electricians with him the day of the install, and everyone was polite, knowledgeable and friendly. While he was on-site, we discussed another electrical project, and Sumit and 1 teammate came back the following week. They are an on-time, outstanding company that really know their stuff and give great customer service. I will definitely hire RS Bright Light Electrical again in the future!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The standard voltage for United States power outlets isn’t shared around the world, and neither is the shape of the power connector. This is why you need travel adapters when spending time abroad. Where the United States typically uses 110/120V outlets, outlets in Europe typically use 220/240V. Power outlets can vary in other ways around the world, too. Not everyone uses the 60Hz frequency, for example, and not everyone even uses AC power in outlets. Always do your research when traveling to see what you need.

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. 

You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.

This depends on how many outlets you have and the current status of your electrical system. The cost to ground an outlet clocks in at $75 to $480 per outlet, so multiply that by the number of outlets in your home to arrive at a rough estimate. However, this is for simple projects with no obvious issues with the system. Your final bill could vary widely from your calculations.

Yes, you can put a GFCI outlet in almost any electrical outlet location. As long as the outlet is wired correctly back to a circuit breaker, you can likely replace the existing outlet with a GFCI outlet.
