"Many thanks to Anthony and Ralph for fixing the electrical issue in our master bathroom. They did great work! The best part about these guys is that they literally show you exactly what the problem was and how they were going to fix it. They also provided enough information upfront on what the cost would be. Also a big shout out to Anjeli, she was very pleasant and contacted us after all the work was done to see if we were satisfied. We will be using this company for future electrical services!"

"JC Electric did a fantastic job installing a ceiling fan and entryway light fixture in my home. The high ceilings made the job a bit challenging, but Joe was thorough, professional, and completed everything very quickly. He was responsive from my initial inquiry, was able to schedule the work promptly, and worked with us to stay within our budget. I was very pleased with the quality of the work and the overall experience. I would absolutely recommend JC Electric to anyone looking for reliable, professional electrical work!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Well pumps need power to run, so they can’t function without electricity. If your power shuts off, there can sometimes be enough pressure in the water tank to allow for a lucky flush or a bit of tap water—but this won’t last long. It’s a good idea to have a backup generator or an alternative power source like solar if you’re worried about losing power.

A wire stripping tool is the easiest way to strip sheathing or plastic insulation from electrical wires. A self-adjusting wire stripper cuts and removes the sheathing without damaging the core wire.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

If you strictly adhere to electrical safety rules, including assuming that a circuit is hot until proven otherwise, and have some knowledge of how an electrical circuit works, you can likely replace a light switch by yourself without too much trouble. However, it's always advisable to call a nearby electrical pro to do the job if you're unsure of any steps necessary to change a light switch.
