"Citywide Electric came to our home and repaired our circuit breaker that needed repair. We could not get our dryer plug to work, and they fixed out outlet quickly. Even went to a very famous home appliance get the part they needed. Lowered the cost of the repair for us also. Citywide electric are trustworthy, quick with repairs and we will definitely use them again, should the need arise."

"I highly recommend Thundercolt Electric. Gerardo came out, provided a bid and when I advised I was ready to get started they quickly got started on the project which included recessed lighting, new electrical outlets and switches, changing out electrical outlets and light switches, installing a surge protector for the home, installation of ceiling fans and a ring doorbell. Thunderbolt did an excellent job and I would hire them again for any work I may have and Iâ d recommend them to family and friends."

"I found Allgood Electric through the Internet and found a lot of good remarks. They were prompt. The electrician called when he was on his way. He went right to work, diagnosed the issue (a faulty breaker) began repairs. The charge was fair especially since they came right away. They are courtesous from the first call to finishing the work. I haighly recommend Allgood Electric. When I need an elecrician the are now the first onmy list."

"Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall."

"I recently had a light fixture installed in my office and an electrical outlet relocated to a different area, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The electrician was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail. The installation was clean, the work was completed efficiently, and everything looks and functions perfectly. It’s clear they take pride in their craftsmanship and customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality electrical work. Thank you for doing such an amazing job!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Be careful not to drop your voltmeter or multimeter. Even a small fall can affect the tool’s ability to measure with accuracy. Always store your tools in their cases in a cool, dark place. Also, avoid touching the probes to each other while they’re connected to a circuit or another electrical component, and never tamper with anything inside the device.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

The light that your ceiling light gives off will largely depend on the type of light bulb that’s installed in it. If you’re looking to brighten a dark room, LED bulbs are the way to go. LED bulbs will emit the most light while also using less energy than standard bulbs. They can last up to 50,000 hours and will need to be replaced much less often than standard bulbs.

In many cases, yes, upgrading your electrical panel can lower your electric bill. Upgrading an outdated electrical panel can make your home more energy-efficient, so you consume less electricity and spend less on utility bills. However, to see these savings, you’ll need to invest quite a bit. On average, installing a new electrical panel costs $1,200 to $2,000, with most people paying around $1,600.
