"E C Electronics did a great job installing our 65" OLED TV. Hid wires, to the AV system up and running, etc. They also took our ceiling fan down, mounted two Ring Door Bells (ran electric for one of them, mounted a Ring Flood cam and a few other misc. items. They communicated very well about everything. I would definitely hire them again!"

"I called several other companies and they were wishy washy and couldn't send anyone for another two weeks. I called Virginia Power Solutions and explained my needs and they sent someone the next day. Everyone was great starting with the receptionist, the coordinator and my service man. I am glad that I found these guys. Thanks for a great job!"

"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to use a three-way switch as a two-way switch. You can use a three-way switch as a two-way switch by bypassing one of the traveler wires and using only one of the available traveler switch terminals.

Even if you don’t have children living in your home, The National Fire Prevention Association still recommends installing tamper-resistant outlets when you’re replacing your existing outlets. 

Not only is your home likely to change hands at some point, but you may have young children over as guests. Making the switch even if you don’t currently have children living with you at the moment will help protect any future pint-sized visitors to your home.

Yes, but our analogy with the water hose doesn’t really work here. You see, electrical flow isn’t constant: It ebbs and flows like waves, coming in pulses of power. Hertz measures the rate of change in the flow of electricity, or how often it ebbs and flows. For example, 60Hz means that the electrons pulse through wiring 60 times per second. When they are pulsing, they’re in a brief retreat. Almost all United States equipment is rated for 60Hz.

Usually, your house panel is one of the key components that must be replaced when upgrading your amp service. In many cases, you will also need to upgrade your meter base as well as other electrical components.

As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator’s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.
