"J&M Electrical did an outstanding job of installing a home backup generator. When the gentleman came out to do the onsite inspection and provide me with the results and options, it was a no pressure sales approach. He walked me through the entire process that was used to determine what size generator I would require in the event of a power failure. When he had left the house that evening it was not with an ultimatum of “You must let us know right away, or in the next 72 hours” type approach. In this case it was more along the lines of “Think it over and we are glad to have been able to present our product” Once we decided to have the generator installed the communication from the front office in regards to what was required from me and what the contractor would provide was excellent. Scheduling was easy and all that was discussed was provided on time and with no exceptions. The work crew was on time and cleaned up upon completion of the installation. Overall an outstanding experience and I would recommend them to anybody looking to have a backup home generator installed."

"I met with three companies to obtain estimates to replace my electrical panel due to issues with my existing panel. I went with CRH Electric not just because the price was within my budget but because Charles was polite and extremely knowledgeable as it relates to my electrical needs. He didn’t try to sell me stuff I didn’t need. He assessed the old panel thoroughly and advised me on what I needed for my new electrical panel. Less than a week after meeting with Charles, he had my new panel installed and properly labeled. He was thorough and cleaned up after install was complete. He even fixed my front porch light switch. I have been searching for a licensed electrician and am extremely happy to have gotten connected with Charles from CRH Electric LLC. Definitely deserving of a 5 🌟 rating. I will absolutely be keeping CRH Electric LLC on speed dial for all my future electrical needs!"

"Tolliver Electrical did a commercial job for me at Fleetpride. (a heavy duty truck parts store) The company did an excellent job in completing the electrical work before the staff reported back to work the following morning. Tolliver Electrical is the only electrical company that I call on for all my electrical needs"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Upgrading your electrical panel is often worth the cost for safety, improved electrical performance, and potential long-term savings. A primary benefit is preventing electrical fires and other hazards from a malfunctioning panel, ensuring your household's safety. An upgraded panel also provides a steady flow of electricity, eliminating issues like flickering lights and frequently tripped breakers. It allows you to connect additional appliances without overloading the system, which is especially beneficial for older homes with 100-amp service that are prone to overheating. If you run large appliances like central air conditioning, heating systems, hot tubs, or saunas, you might consider upgrading to a 300- or 400-amp service to meet the higher electrical demand. Furthermore, an upgrade can lead to long-term savings on energy bills and potentially lower insurance costs.

The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.

Hiring a professional for attic fan installation or replacement is highly recommended to ensure safety, proper ventilation, and effectiveness without damaging your roof. The type of professional needed can vary based on the fan type and project specifics.

  • HVAC Technicians: They understand airflow and ventilation principles, making them well-suited for the job.

  • Roofers: Experienced roofers are ideal for roof-mounted fans, as they can ensure a watertight installation.

  • Electricians: A licensed electrician is essential if new wiring is needed, or for replacing solar or electric attic fans to safely handle the electrical connections.

  • Carpenters: They may be needed to install gable vent fans or to ensure a new fan fits the existing structure correctly.

  • Handyperson: For a simple replacement of an old fan with no wiring or structural modifications, a handyperson might be an option.
