Jimmy showed up right on time at 8:30 in the morning and set to work.   He worked with good humor even as the job turned out to be bigger than expected since some of the connecting metal conduits could not be replaced without first removing the meter box and two cutoff switch-boxes.  We originally thought that we could salvage the original pole that had been pulled down and ripped off the top of the meter box, but it turned out to be bent, so Jimmy called for a replacement and had it and other necessary parts delivered while he worked.  He struck a good balance between replacing parts that needed to be replaced while preserving original parts where possible to keep the cost down.

B&H Electric provided an excellent quote for the work that came in significantly lower than the competition and provided wonderful service.  He went above and beyond the call of duty and stayed late to finish the job so that we could get our power back as quickly as possible.  He didn't leave until after 10:15pm, working outside amidst the mosquitos under a work-light until the job was done.  He even sealed the new gutter box with silicone so that perhaps it will last a few more years than the last one did.

I'd use B&H again in a heartbeat for any electrical job we have.

"Jordan was willing to tackle the oddball request of troubleshooting the Christmas tree lights/tree trunk wiring on a Balsam Hill Christmas tree. I’ve had three Balsam Hill Christmas trees with lighting issues and wasn’t going to spend the money again on a tree with “crappy” lights/wiring. I decided to find an electrician who was willing and able to take on the task. Jordan identified the issue and came up with a workaround so that all tree sections received the power needed to run the lights. He was very knowledgeable and professional. If I have any other electrical needs, I would call him again."

"We used Angi.com to find an electrician to install an EV charger we bought for our new EV. Sear Electric responded quickly, came out to complete a visual review of what was needed and they produced a very reasonable quote for the installation of the charger in our garage. The employees were very communicative, friendly and professional, and the overall quality of work was excellent. The guys who did the installation were also very patient as I made sure I got the app connected and verified the charger would indeed charge the car. We are pleased with the work Sear Electric did and would hire them again if we have any other electrical issues or projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, it's possible to have electrical receptacles and overhead lights on the same circuit. The reason is that lights typically use much less power than large appliances, so combining them won't overload your circuit. By doing this, you can distribute the power consumption throughout the breakers in your panel more efficiently, which can be helpful if you have a lot of different electrical devices in your home.

Many wire nuts can accommodate three wires of various gauges; you should check the packaging of the nut to confirm you are buying the correct size. In addition, there are screw terminals that accommodate various numbers of wires; these might also be called “terminal blocks,” and exist to connect multiple wires. 

You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.

Before hiring an electrician, check out the contractor’s official website, read reviews, and look them up on your local Department of Labor’s website. If you’re hiring for a complex job, pay special attention to their level of expertise. Also, call up pros directly to ask about their insurance status, specifically liability insurance, and request customer references.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.
