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.

"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."

"Mark Vega of Vega Home Improvement is professional, quick to respond, skilled, and accommodating. I have worked with this business for multiple projects now and will continue to call as both large and small things come up. Some of the projects I'm the most pleased with include fence installation/customization, drywall work, and electrical improvements and installations. I will soon be working with the business to remodel my porch and deck. I trust Vega Home Improvement completely and am beyond pleased that I found this company. I have him on speed dial!"

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

If the outlet is a GFCI model, this is normal since these outlets have their own breakers that shut off when they encounter a problem—just hitting the reset button should solve the issue. Otherwise, the outlet could have bad wiring, or your circuit breaker could be having issues. If the issue started out of nowhere and is not on a GFCI outelt, it’s best to contact an electrician to diagnose the issue.

Yes, a light switch still has power even when switched off. Switches only interrupt or continue the flow of electricity into a fixture or outlet; they do not shut off the power flowing into the wire. The only way to shut off power in a light switch is to turn off the power at the circuit breaker.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

Yes, dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity. However, proper humidity also means your home’s temperature remains more stable, thus lowering heating and air conditioning bills. The good news is you shouldn’t need to use a dehumidifier more than a few months per year, so the energy costs won’t be as noticeable as other larger appliances.
