"W3 Electric is truly the GREATEST in the game! Not only was Bill Witty respectful and helpful but also worked so hard to accomplish everything I wanted by adding switches and light fixtures in my new home. So thankful that W3 provided quality work in my home. Use them for all your electrical needs! You won’t be disappointed!!!"

"Outstanding service. We had a breaker box replaced, including all the rewiring associated and a new ground. Also had electrical fixed that goes to the dryer. They made an appointment for the next working day, were on time, and did an excellent job. Everything was carefully explained to us. Nice people and very professional. We would hire again."

"I have zero complaints about this company. They came out very quickly to access my issue. It was urgent. From Oncor and this company, I clearly escaped what could have been a major fire. These guys were so professional and kept me in the loop of everything being done. I've saved their number for any future issues and I will definitely recommend them to anyone needing a skilled electrician. It was worth every penny to have it done professionally and safely. Thank you ALL."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. 

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.

You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.

Electrical meter risers connect your home’s electrical meter to overhead power lines so you can receive electrical service from the grid. Electrical meters also have a weatherhead, which protects the utility lines connected to your home’s electrical system via the service entrance cable. Risers connect the weatherhead to your electrical meter socket, which connects to the meter.
