Customers say: True professional

"I needed 2 outlets installed, a light switch replaced, and my old light fixture in my kitchen replaced. Nick was very communicative prior to arriving, arrived on time, worked efficiently, cleaned up, and his quote for the work was very fair for the amount of work he did. Everything works beautifully, in my kitchen:I have more outlets to use, as well as the ability to see in my kitchen thanks to the new LED lighting! I recommend Nick for any of your electrical work-you will not be disappointed."

"Chris came over to fix what I thought was a lose connection in my track lighting but was actually a small electrical fire which had been burning inside the metal box of my ballast for 4 days! He also completely replaced my circuit breaker (which should have turned the power off to the over-heated ballast) all in one day working through lunch and without breaks to be sure my kids and I could sleep at home that night without any risk. He even found where the main circuit in my overloaded circuit breaker was burning through and also ready to cause a fire. I have never written a review before for electrical services but this was the best experience I'd ever had with an electrician. Thank you Chris!"

"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

Timers work by using an internal switch to turn power on or off to the cord plugged into it. Just the same way that a light switch turns lights on and off, the timer throws the switch at the programmed times.

Outlets with only two slots have no ground connection. That’s more common on very old outlets, which means it’s more likely the outlet won’t be polarized. You’ll have to closely examine the slots to see if there’s a size difference indicating polarization. Keep in mind outlets this old are usually out of code and should be replaced if you’re doing any electrical work.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.
