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.

"I recently hired an Chau dang electric to upgrade my breaker panel, replace breakers, and install an additional panel for a generator. He showed up on time, was very professional, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The installation was done clean and organized, and he made sure everything was up to code. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the quality of his work. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing electrical work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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 When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels.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.

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. 

Automatic gates don’t use too much electricity, and you should see a minimal effect on your utility bill. In fact, certain gate systems are entirely self-sufficient and rely on solar panels attached to or near the gate to power the motor. While a gate is large and there is a powerful motor moving it, it’s not something that sees constant use throughout the day. For most automatic gates, expect to see a utility bill increase of only around $10 per month.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

Yes, a hot or overheating outlet is a fire hazard and can cause a fire. An outlet becoming hot indicates an electrical problem, such as an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or a faulty component. The heat from these issues can ignite nearby flammable materials like curtains or furniture. If you notice an outlet is hot to the touch, turn off the power at the circuit breaker, unplug any connected devices, and consult a qualified electrician. If a fire does start, use a Class C fire extinguisher or baking soda to suppress it, or evacuate immediately and call the fire department.
