"First of all, Greg Emert answered the phone on January 2nd (New Years Day observed holiday). He was honest about his workload and called back later in the day when he couldn't make it. He showed up early today as promised, and quickly isolated and repaired the problem. He charged me a fair price and didn't try to make it into a large project. Very decent guy, very professional. I'd hire him again."

"Zach and Crew put in a new electric panel in our home. They were so thorough and explained everything to my husband and I, The panel was marked so we knew where every circuit breaker went too. They also did added electrical wall units, hooked up baseboard heater, redirected electric work from an outside porch. Their prices are reasonable and you don't have to call them back because it is done right the first time around!!!"

"I was an unlimited contractor for 32 years and retired. Couldn’t handle it , had to go back to work. I would like to say that I would work with Chris anytime . He was extremely productive , knowledgeable and professional, and I might add a great guy . Honesty is something you don’t see much anymore in the workplace, when he would tell he would do something it happened . Can’t wait to work with him again !"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

While not always necessary, wiring your circuit breaker in a certain way can ease both the installation process and use afterward. For starters, you’ll need to install the electrical panel so that the main service knockout aligns with the cable conduit. If they aren’t aligned, you may not have sufficient working space to finish running the wires. Using cable trays, on the other hand, gives you a bit more freedom to and flexibility in where and which direction you install the wires. At the end of the day, the power flow will be the same whether the cords run up or down.

Compared to amps, volts, and watts, ohms are a different kind of measurement, though also very common. Ohms show the resistance of materials like wiring: How much they impede the flow of electrons. The reason household wiring is usually copper or aluminum is that these materials are affordable and also have lower ohms, which means low resistance/high conductivity.

Yes, it's possible to have electrical receptacles and overhead lights on the same circuit. The reason is that lights typically use much less power than large appliances, so combining them won't overload your circuit. By doing this, you can distribute the power consumption throughout the breakers in your panel more efficiently, which can be helpful if you have a lot of different electrical devices in your home.

Full home electrical inspections are mandatory if you’re buying a new home, but if you’re just looking for a safety checkup, you have some flexibility. If you don’t have any concerns and your property is relatively new, a basic inspection is usually sufficient. If it’s been a long time since your home was last inspected, or it’s an older home, a full home inspection can help catch any concerns that may fly under the radar.

Buying a house with aluminum wiring requires careful consideration due to potential fire risks. Ensure a thorough inspection by a licensed electrician to assess the condition and identify necessary safety upgrades—factor in these additional costs when deciding. While it may not be a total deal-breaker, understanding the risks and required maintenance is necessary. Also, you should consult your insurer about coverage for homes with aluminum wiring to know whether the house is insurable.
