"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"

"Excellent customer service after the sale. Electrical component failed on a Sunday morning, placed a service call and a real person answered. Received a return call from a technician quickly, 30 minutes later they were in our driveway. Diagnosed the problem, completed repairs, very friendly and smiling. Total time from making the call to repairs being completed less than 90 minutes. Thatâ s INCREDIBLE in todayâ s world."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Whether or not a pool needs a dedicated circuit depends on the electrical needs of the motor, lights, and pump. Keep in mind that pool motors can use a lot of electricity. A dedicated circuit can prevent the breaker from tripping whenever you use the pool. A small motor for an equally small pool may only need a GFCI outlet. It’s best to plug it directly into the outlet rather than using an extension cord. You should also consult an electrician to ensure your pool’s electrical system is in accordance with local regulations.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

A pigtail is the only safe way to connect an electrical device to more than one circuit wire. Connecting multiple wires to a single screw terminal is extremely dangerous and must never be done. Many electricians will opt for pigtails even when there are multiple screw terminals available so that the device in question won’t halt the flow of downstream current when a problem arises. 

Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home’s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.

In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you’ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.
