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 needed an electrician for an issue in one of my bedrooms in the house that my skill level could not figure out. I had one light switch and power outlet that was not working. I could not figure out where the issue was located. I decided to give Allgood Electric a try with the issue. It was very easy and user friendly to schedule an appointment from Allgood Electric homepage. They even give you a few choices with quotes to select from for your appoint. The scheduling wizard was great because not only do you get an estimate, but it also allows you to pick the date and time slot you are looking for ALL online. This feature alone for Allgood Electric is top notch. David was the assigned technician and came first thing in the morning at the beginning of my estimated time slot. I received two calls before David showed up. I received one in the morning from an office clerk and one from David to let me know he was 30 minutes from the house. Those calls ahead really help to get you ready for their visit. David was very professional and friendly. He was quickly able to diagnose the issue. Once he diagnosed the issue he was able to get my electrical issue fixed on both my outlet and light switch. No one wishes for electrical issues in their home, but if I have another problem I am happily going to give Allgood Electric another call."

"Mr. Electric was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with the needs for our business. We needed to update our electrical systems since we kept having outlets go out and power go out in various areas of the office. Mr. Electric was prompt, knowledgeable, and able to resolve all of our issues on their first visit to our office. The prices were reasonable as well, especially considering the amount of work that was done and the level of professionalism they have! I will definitely contact them again with any of our electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

An AC disconnect, also known as a switch box or fuse box, is a safety switch that allows the AC’s electrical supply to be turned off from the outside, usually done by a mechanical contractor coming to work on your unit. The box is protected from the weather by a cover or may be designed as a pull-out unit. Your local code determines where the AC disconnect must be mounted, but it's usually close to your outdoor AC unit.

It’s generally not recommended to run electric to a shed above ground, and you should instead run electric lines underground via a conduit. This job, like all electrical jobs, is best left to a pro, as they’ll need to ensure everything is installed safely and that they don’t run into any other utility lines underground. 

You should hire a licensed electrician who is insured to perform any electrical work on your home, including lighting installation. States have different requirements for licensing and certifying electricians, so use Angi’s state licensing tool to review local guidelines.

Here are a few questions to ask electricians before hiring:

  • How many years of electrical experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you work with subcontractors?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three customer references?

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit.
