"Shah came on time and was a pleasure to work with. He identified the source of the burning smell in our lightswitch and quickly resolved it. He explained how it happend and why it is now resolved. He was extremely helpful in discussing other electrical work that we may do at some point in the future. We haven't decided on those yet, but he was great in explaining the pros and cons of the options that we might have, if we do move forward with those. Great work!"

"Tony came out and gave us 3 estimates for 3 different generators. We chose the Cummins Onan because it suited our needs and provided the quietest operating generator. It also was the highest rated out of the 3. Tony and Marshall dug out a place to set the concrete pad which the generator is placed on.The digging was done neatly. Tony and Marshall then did all the installation of the electrical work. Steve Mays then came and did all the necessary work for the gas lines run and then connected to the generator. Steve worked in our crawlspace running the gas line form the gas meter on the south side of our house to the north side where the generator was located outside nearby our electrical box. Tony and Marshall came back to instruct us in the operation of the generator, which is basically you checking to make sure the green light is always on. Local inspectors gave a green light with the excellent work done. We will need to check the oil ever so often, but that is typically simple. Tony and Marshall and Steve all worked within the timeline which they had given us. They were very professional, caring, neat and extremely well informed about the generator. We had a lot of questions and they answered them all. We called them and they always picked up our calls. We could not have been more pleased with them. If you are looking for a home standby generator, these are the ONLY guys to get!"

"To Who It May Concern ,
I am a retired Electrical Construction and Maintenance Foreman for over 35 years from INOVA Fairfax Hospital Engineering Department and was very good at what I did and handled many Contracts . So when my old furnace blew up I got 3 prices of which Appleton/Campbell was not the cheapest one and I was going to get Trane equipment but after I talking to Appleton/Campbell's take off man and their Estimator I decided on Carrier and  from them . It took me a few night to ( Swallow their bottom line ) , but i am most certainly glad that I did . My parents were right again ( You Get What You Pay For .) They were right on the money with their estimated time of completion . Like I told them , ( I was a picky old b****** as for as neatness and workmen ship goes ) and for a picky old b****** I was overwhelmed with the finish product as far as  their workmen ship and nearness and with out any nagging from me . It took them a little better than a day and a half and all toll their were 5 different men here at different times and every one of them were as nice as they could have been at least in the Construction Trade . You could tell that they all were loyal company men that liked their jobs and their Bosses which showed up very clearly in their workmen ship .I wanted to wait at least a month until I got use the the sounds and operations of every thing and boy this  Carrier Equipment is quiet as a mouse and  is easy to operate even for a 74 year old man.  I would most certainly recommend  not only the equipment but also would highly recommend the installing contractor better known as -
 APPLETON/CAMPBELL  Plumbing - Heating - Air Conditioning and  Electrical  of Warrenton Va..
                                                                                                                                  A Well Satisfied Owner / Customer ,
                                                                                                                                  Jim Burke
                                                                                                                                  Warrenton , Va.
  PS !!  I am so proud of my Carrier and Appleton/Campbell  I would
  be proud to show my installation and equipment off to any undecided customers .

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they’re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, gas water heaters versus electric water heaters may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.

People who have experienced blown fuse have occasionally tried to fix the problem by placing copper pennies in the fuse box. While they are good conductors of electricity and can seemingly “fix” the issue,  they don’t protect against short circuits or fires. Putting pennies in a fuse box is dangerous—the best solution is to call a professional electrician to fix the problem.

Under-cabinet lighting is generally energy-efficient, especially when using LED technology. Compared to traditional ceiling lighting or older bulb types like halogen and incandescent, LED under-cabinet lights consume significantly less energy, which helps reduce operating costs. This applies to various forms, including strip lights, puck lights, and built-in fixtures. For an option that uses no electricity, consider battery-operated puck lights. While they require periodic battery replacements, they have the added advantage of functioning during a power outage.

We highly recommend that you use an electrician to wire a doorbell if you don't have electrical skills. You can tackle this project on your own, but it would be best done alongside a professional to reduce all the safety risks, as working with wires can be dangerous and potentially deadly.

The National Electric Code states that outlets should not be spaced more than 12 feet apart, and there should be an outlet placed every 6 feet at the floor line in areas designated as living spaces. Most homes in the United States have 75 outlets, but it will depend on the amount you need based on your home's size and your needs.
