"I reached out to 4B Electric in Poolville, TX for a quote to install a whole house Generator. I was immediately contacted and Josh came right over to review the installation. He gave me a very fair quote via email that same day. I also reached out to several other Electrical contractors for competitive quotes. I waited several day RTS for those firms to call me and only one other firm came out. Who did submit a quote that was quite a bit higher. The other 2 contractors only gave me verbal estimates. All told none were as professional as Josh with 4B Electric and we thousands more in costs. Once I had the generator in hand Josh was out within the week to install it. He even brought his tractor along so as to properly iift and set it where I wanted. Josh completed the bulk of the work in one day, including the automatic transfer switch, conduit and wiring! He even scheduled the power shutdown with the Utility company! All work as completed the day of the shutdown, including all of the programming and startup of the generator. I was was most impressed with Joshâ s work ethic, quality of work and customer service. I highly recommend 4B Electric for any electric work that you may need. I have already had Josh back out to our house to fix several other issues with switches and outlets. 4B is in my mind is the best! Thank you Josh."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Outdoor outlets should be at least 15-amp, but preferably 20-amp. The exact rating will depend on the electrical load of the devices that will be plugged into the outlet and the capacity of the circuit. It's important not to overload the circuit, which can cause safety hazards such as tripped breakers or electrical fires. In general, a circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended for outdoor outlets, while each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps.

Yes, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that outdoor Christmas lights be plugged into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to prevent hazardous electrical shocks or an electrical fire. It’s a code violation to plug outdoor Christmas lights into a non-GFCI outlet, so be sure to follow these guidelines for a safe and successful installation.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

Yes, many professionals offer surge protection to safeguard equipment from power fluctuations.

Appliances in your home that need dedicated circuits include:

  • Refrigerators and chest freezers

  • Electric ranges, microwaves, and toaster ovens

  • Dishwashers and garbage disposals

  • Washers and dryers

  • Heating and air conditioning units

  • Hot tubs, saunas, and water pumps

  • Sump pumps

  • Central vacuums
