"The LCF Electrical team were pure excellence every way you look at it! Prompt, professional, friendly, clear communication from the point of initial contact through to the completion of the project. They knew exactly what we needed, nothing more nothing less, but offered great suggestions and options where needed. They maintained a tidy workspace and their completed work is immaculate. The project was done on the timeline laid out at the beginning and there were no surprises. They were a pleasure to deal with and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Having worked with many local electrical companies both personal and related to our business, in the past, it was refreshing to qork with LCF and they will be our "go to" from now on!"

"Marty Jr. provided terrific service throughout the process. The install happened in less than a day, and looks great on the property. I have a great understanding of what I purchased, and how it will make my property safer in a lightning storm. The cost was the best in comparison with a few others, and the turn around time was fast to the system installed. Highly recommended."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Licensed electricians should perform work for safety reasons; improper installations can prove hazardous or result in code violations currently.

Buying a house with aluminum wiring requires careful consideration due to potential fire risks. Ensure a thorough inspection by a licensed electrician to assess the condition and identify necessary safety upgrades—factor in these additional costs when deciding. While it may not be a total deal-breaker, understanding the risks and required maintenance is necessary. Also, you should consult your insurer about coverage for homes with aluminum wiring to know whether the house is insurable.

A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm’s length of the entryway.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.
