"Barry is a legendary professional. He can solve even the most puzzling electrical wiring mysteries. Also, he is very respectful of the home and always uses booties on his shoes and cleans up after he’s done working. Definitely one of the most solid vendors I’ve worked with during my two years of hiring vendors for Aiken remodels."

"Jeff spoke with me in the morning after I requested service the previous evening (late). Told him about our dryer, not heating. He requested a text photo of the model number/SN on the sticker inside the dryer. I contacted him the following morning via text, he texted back that he had the repair part and would be at my home within the hour. He arrived and work was completed within 30 minutes----new heating element installed. I have never had a major appliance issue addressed so QUICKLY. Super impressed with Ace."

"Got the company Camera Kings off this website based on reviews. Thus I feel that in order to help someone else - I also need to leave a review. Camera Kings (Shaun) contacted me and we set up a date/time to come out and view what needed to be completed. One day to view the project and one day to install. The gentleman that actually came to the house was Brian, and he was very professional and knowledgeable in his workmanship. He installed (hard-wired) two RING flood light cameras on my home in less than 3 hours. When I checked his work in the attic -- it looked as if the house was built with that security feature. He went up that ladder numerous times to adjust the camera angle and ensure the surveillance area was exactly what I wanted to see. He took the time to ensure everything worked properly before he left. Very good!! Top of the line!! Highly recommend this company to anyone that needs security camera work done on their home."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While washers and dryers do not require a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet to function properly, electrical codes often mandate their use for safety. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCI protection for all outlets within six feet of a water source. This means a washer and dryer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet if they are installed in locations like a laundry room, utility room, garage, or basement. In other areas without a nearby water source, there is no specific requirement, but using a GFCI outlet is still recommended for extra peace of mind. It is always best to consult your local codes and regulations to ensure compliance and safety.

In the case of electrical overflow, an ungrounded outlet should trip the circuit breaker, staving off dangerous scenarios. However, this is not always the case, especially if the wires and circuit breaker are worn down or damaged in some way. Ungrounded wires melt over time as they are introduced to more and more electricity. In other words, a circuit breaker offers protection in most instances but not always, and that’s where the danger lies with ungrounded outlets.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.

If a 240V appliance is connected to a 120V outlet, the lower voltage will cause that appliance to receive insufficient power. This may result in reduced performance, malfunctions, or even damage to the appliance's components. Depending on the size of your electrical circuit, you’ll likely need to reset a tripped circuit breaker at the very least.

You can install a dimmer switch on almost any light as long as the switch, bulb, wiring, and wattage are compatible. Check what kind of light you have, the type of light bulb, and the total wattage of the bulbs to ensure your dimmer is a match. You’ll want to choose a non-neutral wire dimmer if you don't have neutral wiring. Homes built before 1985 that don't have updated electrical systems may not have neutral wiring.
