"Dani is one of the best contractors I have utilized. He is knowledgeable in the vast area of electrical, lighting and other electronic products. He installed several digital video and lighting equipment throughout our home. In addition, upgrading light fixtures and outdated electrical wall plugs. What I appreciated the most is he took to the time to educate me on the solutions and repairs he provided. If your looking for a professional and electrician I recommend DC Electrical Services!

"When the light went out over my garage, I thought it was just the bulb, but because it was mounted so high I  couldn't get to it even with my 10' ladder.  When the electricians came and looked at it they told me that the whole fixture needed to be replaced.  They asked if I had the replacement fixture and I told them no, that I didn't know I needed to replace the fixture.  They were nice enough to go to Lowes, find a comparable fixture, install it, all for the $99 deal.  Of course I reimbursed them for the cost of the fixture.  The fixture they chose was brighter, had a wider angle so more of my lot was illuminated and used less electricity.  They also left the work area clean.  They exceeded my expectations!

"Electrician Wade was extremely professional.  He has a strong work ethic and did a top-notch job.  I will absolutely call him for any future electrical needs.  The staff personnel at their office were equally professional.  I can highly recommend this company.

"Greats customer service, quick response time. My chandeliers were hung quickly and efficiently, care was taken to insure no damage was inflicted on the glassware of the chandelier. I gave a four star in quality due to: it took four rewiring attempts to get the 2 pole dimmer to work, the electrician kept looking at the switch diagram booklet after each rewire attempt. One of which electrically damaged one LED dimmer switch of which I had to discard at a loss. And the electrician billed me for the 15 minutes it took him to restore the ladder on his truck."

"I had several electrical projects I needed to be done on a tight budget.John was very precise and thorough. He spent time with me reviewing what needed to be done and was very friendly and professional. He even redid the bathroom 3 switch correcting what the other electrical company I hired did wrong. His pricing is very fair and for what he did , I got a great deal!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

No, wiring does not need to be redone to get a dimmer switch, as they work with single-pole and three-way switches. Just ensure you choose a dimmer that is compatible with your wiring, fixture, and lightbulbs. Most homes built after 1985 have neutral wiring and work with almost all dimmers. If your home was built before 1985 and you don’t have an updated electrical system, you may have to use a non-neutral wiring dimmer.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

Even if you don’t have children living in your home, The National Fire Prevention Association still recommends installing tamper-resistant outlets when you’re replacing your existing outlets. 

Not only is your home likely to change hands at some point, but you may have young children over as guests. Making the switch even if you don’t currently have children living with you at the moment will help protect any future pint-sized visitors to your home.
