"James came out to price install of a box to plug in my portable generator. After we started talking and me asking questions James was able to give me an outstanding price on a whole house Generac generator with panel upgrade and included a whole house surge protector. They ran into additional costs with running the gas line but James kept to his word and honored the original price! The crew were professional and proficient in their work! Marcie was outstanding with communication and explaining any questions I had! I would definitely recommend this company and would use J&M for any future electrical needs!"

"I met with three companies to obtain estimates to replace my electrical panel due to issues with my existing panel. I went with CRH Electric not just because the price was within my budget but because Charles was polite and extremely knowledgeable as it relates to my electrical needs. He didn’t try to sell me stuff I didn’t need. He assessed the old panel thoroughly and advised me on what I needed for my new electrical panel. Less than a week after meeting with Charles, he had my new panel installed and properly labeled. He was thorough and cleaned up after install was complete. He even fixed my front porch light switch. I have been searching for a licensed electrician and am extremely happy to have gotten connected with Charles from CRH Electric LLC. Definitely deserving of a 5 🌟 rating. I will absolutely be keeping CRH Electric LLC on speed dial for all my future electrical needs!"

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.

In addition to grounding your outlets, you may want to hire an electrician for the following:

These additional electrical services ensure that your home’s electrical system is in working order and will accommodate your ground outlets.

Yes—if a breaker is old or damaged, it might not be able to detect power surges or electrical overload. If that happens, the breaker won’t trip. Instead, it will begin to overheat, putting your electrical system at risk of fire or total electrical failure. Circuit breakers don’t last forever, so you can proactively replace old or damaged breakers before they stop working.

Grounding an electrical outlet can take as little as 30 minutes if you only need to replace the outlet or around two hours if you need to add a ground wire. However, more extensive electrical work will take longer, such as hiring an electrician to ground multiple outlets during the same service.

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.
