"Recently moved to SC and needed a RV power outlet installed. I had previously called and received an estimate(s) from another electrician. I had some knowledge of what was needed for the job, so I felt the first estimates for the other company was a bit too high (quotes ranged from $2800-5800). Then I called Pete. He came out, examined what needed to be done and gave an honest estimate. He was professional, polite and most of all HONEST. I hired him to do the work. In a few days (due to holiday) he came back and completed the job. There were some issues that created more work than what was originally thought, but Pete made sure everything was hooked up correctly and working before he left. He never charged for the extra work and only charge his original estimate (which was under what the other company wanted to charge). I would recommend this company and Pete Justice for any electrical needs in the area. He is honest and trustworthy and does a great job! Thank you Just Electric!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Smart light switches are designed to work with most traditional light fixtures and wiring. However, there are several compatibility factors to consider. Some smart switches require a neutral wire to function, which may not be present in older homes (typically built before 1985). If you plan to use a dimming feature, ensure your LED bulbs are specifically the dimmable type. Additionally, a stable Wi-Fi connection is necessary for remote control, though some models may use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible smart home hub.

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.

You can check if an electrician is licensed in California by using the online check a license tool offered by the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board. You have the option of searching by the license number, the electrical contractor’s name, or the name of the business to determine the electrician’s status.

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.

Just like apples in a bunch, one bad outlet can cause other outlets to stop working. This is especially true if the outlets are connected in a series on the same circuit. When one outlet develops a fault, it can spread to every outlet downstream of the original.
