"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!"

"These guys did a fantastic job and were an absolute pleasure to work with. Small business, all primary work done by the three owners/operators of the group, who are are masters in their respective fields: "Tech Guy", Electrician, and Gas Fitter. (I genuinely hope to not cause offense by this broadly generalized description). I had a 20kW Cummins LP/NG-fired automatic backup generator installed and connected to a new automatic transfer switch, and (since we had no existing gas system) a new 500gallon LP propane tank installed and under-grounded to feed the generator. My main electrical panel was brought up to current code in the process. The excavation and burial work was subcontracted to a trusted local operator that did really nice work, and they worked with Southern States to provide a tank and first fill. They handled all the permits and coordinated the inspections. Waiting for the county inspector, and waiting for Southern States to fill the tank after the gas inspection, were the only observable delays in the process, and those were negligible/reasonable. The SciFiHomes people were quick, efficient, and obviously practiced with all of their pieces of the work. They will strongly prefer Cummins-brand generators over the competitors, and they are more a more expensive initial investment compared to them. After doing my own research after their sales pitch, it is a very worthwhile "upgrade". The difference between Cummins' generators and the competitors is fuel efficiency; according to the math, I'll get over 24 hours of additional runtime vs (as an example) Generac's 20kW generator at 40% average load on a full 420gallons of propane in the new 500gal tank. With an extended outage, or multiple long outages as with last winter in Frederick County, that's a very significant advantage. Sorry for the "sales pitch"; I only included this to prove that they're in my opinion very justified in pushing the "premium" brand. We purchased the extended warranty uplift as well as their extended service agreement. We can't recommend them enough; fantastic experience, and this generator has already flawlessly provided over 20 hours of outage coverage in the 5 months we've had it. Winter is coming, and we'll be ready this time. It just works... These guys and their total solution probably isn't the absolute cheapest in the area... but we absolutely got what we paid for. Thanks SFH!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.

In the case of electrical overflow, an ungrounded outlet should trip the circuit breaker, staving off dangerous scenarios. However, this is not always the case, especially if the wires and circuit breaker are worn down or damaged in some way. Ungrounded wires melt over time as they are introduced to more and more electricity. In other words, a circuit breaker offers protection in most instances but not always, and that’s where the danger lies with ungrounded outlets.

Light switches can last for decades when installed and maintained correctly. Improper wiring, heavy wear and tear, or too much wattage draw can cause light switch failure long before the expected end of a light switch’s life. Light switches that are hot to the touch, making a buzzing noise, or failing to work consistently should be inspected to find and repair the underlying cause.

You can have power but no lights if the light switch is damaged. A damaged light switch is often caused by regular wear and tear or loose wires. In addition, simple problems such as a burnt-out light bulb or an unplugged lamp could be the cause of not having working lights.

Replacing the panel itself takes four to eight hours of work by a professional. However, if associated wiring and related components also require replacement, the labor time increases to 20 to 30 hours. Your electrician can speed up the process by bringing in a team of pros to handle ancillary tasks.
