"We called S & S Electric and they sent Scott and Nick, who arrived promptly. They had to order a new box for the generator to be connected and a new circuit breaker box, as well as a new meter. They changed everything from the outside into the house and got us set up for the night. The next day, John and Nick came to finish the job. All three gentlemen were very knowledgeable and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to call them for any future electrical work."

"We can't recommend the B&K team enough (particularly Jared & Mark!). They were kind, professional, knowledgable, on time, and overall just enjoyable to have in our house. We're grateful for their hard work and will definitely call them for any future electrical needs."

"I had received the name of Green Briar Electric through a friend in the neighborhood and in 2021, Bob Pearce came to replace outside electrical outlets in my home. This year, I called once again for a repair to an outside lighting fixture and a timer switch that wasn't working. This time Dan Pearce, his son was the one who took the call. He made an appointment time within the week and arrived exactly on time! He wasn't able to repair the lighting fixture at the time and took it with him. Within a week he called to say it was ready and once again made an appointment and arrived exactly at the time he said he was coming. As for the timer switch, before he replaced the old one with a new one, he said he'd try to repair the old one which he did. I am beyond thrilled with the service, the workmanship and the pricing!! If you need ANY electrical help, keep this number handy: 401-932-8281 What an absolute pleasure Dan was!! HIGHLY recommend!!!"

"We completely lost power in our home just as it was getting dark on Monday night. I went to Angi and put in a request for an electrician. It asked if I needed to have a call right away and after saying yes I was contacted by Scott from Belcher Electric. I explained our situation and he asked where we lived. I told him and he said he was not far away and was picking up his dinner. He told me he could be here in about a half hour. He came right over and let me know the main on our electrical panel had failed. He told us he could get a crew right over and replace it for us as he did not want elderly people to be without electricity. We had previously had work done in August and were told we would eventually need to have our panel replaced. We were given a quote at that time but we were not in a position to cover that high of an expense. The quote Scott had given us was much lower and more in our price range, especially when he was going to come back with a crew and replace it immediately. He told us it would take about 2 or 3 hours to complete. He returned with his crew and everything he needed to do the job. In 2 hours we had power! He replaced the old 150 panel with a 200 panel and he and his men checked all the lights and the water pressure to make sure everything was good. He checked the line outside and because we still had a little flickering of the lights he suggested we contact National Grid in the morning and have them check the line at the pole as that may have been the reason for the failure. In the morning I did contact National Grid and they sent Someone out. He found there was a problem and he was able to replace a line. Thanks to Scott and the two men who came out and replaced the panel in the dark, we were Also able to have a problem with our outside line repaired. I am so thankful to him and National Grid for helping to keep us safe from an electrical issue that could have been so much worse. Also thank you for being so reasonable with your pricing."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a dimmer on a three-way switch, but it can’t be the same kind of dimmer you’d put on a standard light switch. A three-way switch requires a three-way dimmer. If two switches control a single or multiple lights, then you need a three-way dimmer. The type of light bulb should also be compatible with your fixture and dimmer.

The most common reason a GFCI outlet would trip even when nothing is plugged in is if there’s a problem at the circuit breaker end. This could be an overloaded circuit, with too many appliances plugged into it, or another type of fault. If a GFCI outlet keeps tripping, it can also be because it is faulty and needs replacing.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

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. 

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet.
