"The technician was a rather young man, however, as he explained his work to me also outlining the costs involved it was evident to me that he was well educated in electrical circuits. His experience was also evident in how fast and neatly he completed his work. I would recommend this company to my friends."

"We were extremely pleased with Corrigan and sons on the work they did installing a lightning rod protection system on our home. They did the work themselves and started and completed the job in a timely and professional manner. Hard working people, and without hesitation, we would highly recommend them."

"Lightning rod installation in 2022 and the work was done flawlessly, the technicians were professional, left my property clean and tidy and the work they did looks appealing. My total cost was less than $3k and it was worth every penny as two other houses in my neighborhood got striken and burned."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, GFCI breakers are required for all outdoor outlets. This code requirement applies to all outlets located on balconies, decks, patios, and other outdoor lounge spaces. In addition, outdoor outlets need to have watertight covers that provide protection when cords are plugged in. If you have an older home that may not be up to code, it's a good idea to also ask your electrician about adding GFCIs to some indoor areas. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and any other areas of a home that are commonly exposed to moisture should have GCFI breakers.

Light switches can last for decades when installed and maintained correctly. Improper wiring, heavy wear and tear, or too much wattage draw can cause light switch failure long before the expected end of a light switch’s life. Light switches that are hot to the touch, making a buzzing noise, or failing to work consistently should be inspected to find and repair the underlying cause.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

A correctly installed 3-way switch will not trip a breaker. If using a 3-way switch trips your circuit breaker, the ground wire might be touching something it should not be, there could be a short in the wiring, a wire could be loose, or the wrong wires are connected to the wrong locations on the switch. If you cannot easily see the problem, such as a loose wire, contact an electrician to fix the issue.

Three-way switches work in pairs, allowing an operator to control a single light or series of lights from two separate switch locations. Most often, a three-way switch controls a light or light series in a single room.
