"Lowe Heating and Cooling is the last of a nearly extinct breed of honest service professionals. I was told last year by a large supposedly reputable HVAC company that my entire system was in need of replacing and they charged me over $1000.00 to not fix my system. Paul Lowe Sr. and his son came to my house and found an easily fixable small leak in my system that I believe was from when it was originally installed 10 years ago. This explains why I've always had to add refrigerant nearly every year. They took the time to inspect my entire system, found some minor issues which they addressed and cleaned my outside unit. All this for a cost so reasonable I won't even post the amount here! Paul and his son were gracious, clean, neat, friendly, and courteous. Needless to say, when the time comes to replace my HVAC system Lowe Heating and Cool will be the company who installs it! I won't even waste the time to get a second price quote. I can't make a stronger recommendation! Heating, AC, Electrical... unless you happen to be in a financial position where money doesn't matter to you, no mater what brand or who installed your system, call Lowe and you'll be thankful that you did."

"Moon's Audio and Video did a great job. They arrived on time, mounted a tv on my bedroom wall with my purchased equipment and did the job exactly right. They were courteous and friendly and helpful. In fact, they made sure I knew that I should keep the old stand and its hardware in case I want to make use of it or sell it to someone who might need it. I appreciated their help very much."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.

You may be able to spot common electrical dangers yourself, but it’s best to hire an electrician to diagnose and fix the issue. For example, you may be able to DIY small electrical fixes, like replacing an electrical outlet, but major electric repairs or replacements should be left to a professional electrician.

Daisy-chaining refers to placing multiple GFCI outlets in a row along the same circuit. This won’t do any harm, but it’s of limited usefulness because a properly-placed GFCI can monitor all downstream outlets on its own. Multiple GFCI installations won’t usually increase safety except in special cases.

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.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.
