"S & S Electric did a fantastic job. They were friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and their price was better than all competitors'. They cleaned up after themselves, they did some extra work without trying to nickel and dime me. I am very happy with the work they performed and will gladly use them again."

Customers say: True professional

"Mike Ferreira (owner) returned my call promptly and arranged time within my requested time period. Justin Ferreira arrived promptly and I explained the tasks to be done and he jumped right in. He was very efficient and completed the jobs in no time. We are planning some remodeling and he took the time to answer my questions and made some excellent suggestions. I will use Ferreira Electric again when we need electrical work.

"Best experience I’ve had so far being a homeowner. TIm D was very knowledgeable didn’t try to force me to do something else that I didn’t want or make sense to do. I’m actually considering doing my central air sooner than later because of the great finance options they have available. Which is why I didn’t complete the C-wire service it only makes sense to do it all at once under one invoice."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you must use the proper wire nut that fits your wire gauge. Using a wire nut that’s too big or too small can cause your connection to fail, short circuit, or disconnect entirely. Ensuring that you have the proper wire nut size will guarantee that your connection lasts as long as possible.

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

No. When applied properly, electrical tape is designed to be an insulating material with high resistance to electricity. It can reinforce electrical connections and act as a safeguard to help ensure the electrical current stays within its designated pathways. However, it’s important to note that it can break down over time and you should never use it as a replacement for electrical wire caps.

Professional services ensure safe installations, reliable repairs, and compliance with codes emphasizing safety in electrical networks.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours.
