"William, the Technician was very professional and discovered the problem right away. Then informed me that he would perform a safety check on all the electrical connections in the electrical panel free as part of the agreed on pricing. This was a really good experience and would highly recommend Mr Electric North West to anyone who need electrical help!"

"Jordan gave me a thorough analysis of of the electrical issue . I appreciate that he attempted to diagnosis the problem in different ways before reaching a conclusion . His charges are reasonable and were explained before his arrival . The issue turned out to be an appliance issue and not what I had thought . I could tell he is a very honest person and didn’t want to take advantage of the situation . I will definitely be contacting him for any electrical services . Honestly , we need more business like his!"

"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

Typically, refrigerators should not be plugged into GFCI outlets. This is another appliance with a motor that can be prone to a little current leakage. Using a standard outlet saves nuisance tripping and the potential of waking up to a refrigerator full of warm food. The only exception is when the refrigerator is in a garage, where all outlets must be GFCI.

The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Electrical fires are unique from other fire types because they have the potential to deliver electric shocks in addition to being on fire. Avoid serious injury from possible electrical emergency situations by avoiding the use of water, foam-based fire extinguishers, wet-chemical fire extinguishers,  flour, or baking powder to put out an electrical fire.
