"I reached out to 4B Electric in Poolville, TX for a quote to install a whole house Generator. I was immediately contacted and Josh came right over to review the installation. He gave me a very fair quote via email that same day. I also reached out to several other Electrical contractors for competitive quotes. I waited several day RTS for those firms to call me and only one other firm came out. Who did submit a quote that was quite a bit higher. The other 2 contractors only gave me verbal estimates. All told none were as professional as Josh with 4B Electric and we thousands more in costs. Once I had the generator in hand Josh was out within the week to install it. He even brought his tractor along so as to properly iift and set it where I wanted. Josh completed the bulk of the work in one day, including the automatic transfer switch, conduit and wiring! He even scheduled the power shutdown with the Utility company! All work as completed the day of the shutdown, including all of the programming and startup of the generator. I was was most impressed with Joshâ s work ethic, quality of work and customer service. I highly recommend 4B Electric for any electric work that you may need. I have already had Josh back out to our house to fix several other issues with switches and outlets. 4B is in my mind is the best! Thank you Josh."
"SU Electric was the first to respond and arrived the same day. They fixed the issues within an hour and educated our DIY dad along the way. Thank you SU Electric."
"Mr. Donohue is very knowledgeable and has excellent experience in the lightning protection area. He responds quickly and has a very professional team of workers. He quoted the job using google earth information. When he visited the site he reduced his price by over 50%. I highly recommend him and I will use his company again."
"This company is knowledgeable, professional and efficient. They answered all my questions, showed me how it was done and the price was unbeatable. Truly a good company. Ask for Chad."
"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."
Whether you need electrical upgrades depends on the electronics your game room includes. If your game room will have high-powered electronics, arcade machines, or a home theater, you may need to upgrade your electrical panel or add dedicated circuits. An electrician can assess your current system and provide an estimate for any necessary upgrades.
Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they’re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, gas water heaters versus electric water heaters may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.
If the electrical wires you’re working with are too short, one of the easiest ways to elongate it is to extend them with a push-in connector. These user-friendly tools help you splice two wires together with little fuss or the need for extra tools, like a crimping tool, which is an older way of extending wires. As long as you can stripe the ends of a wire, using a push-in connector shouldn’t be an issue.
Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.
Yes, GFCI breakers are required for all outdoor outlets. This code requirement applies to all outlets located on balconies, decks, patios, and other outdoor lounge spaces. In addition, outdoor outlets need to have watertight covers that provide protection when cords are plugged in. If you have an older home that may not be up to code, it's a good idea to also ask your electrician about adding GFCIs to some indoor areas. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and any other areas of a home that are commonly exposed to moisture should have GCFI breakers.
