"David arrived on schedule to provide a price quote for the electrical work we needed done. He was able to provide a price while looking at the scope of the work. Within 15 minutes my wife and I decided to ask him to do the work. He and his helper, Lee arrived on time the next morning and completed the work within 5 hours. During the time that David was here he made several suggestions which improved on the plan that we had designed without any additional cost. We are very comfortable with the quality of work that Valley Electric provided and feel that it was completed in a reasonable amount of time for a fair price."

"I am happy to recommended JBE Services to anyone. The team expertly installed a mini split heating system including full electrical work. They did everything required to complete the job in a timely manner including coordinating the drop off of additional parts rather than reschedule for a different day. The team was friendly and conscientious. I'm happy to have found a electrician and HVAC specialist that I trust in this area. Thanks, again!"

"We had a home inspection that pointed out a lot of electrical issues that needed addressed asap. I call Jake’s company and he made our home a priority and was very professional. My contractor was so impressed with him that he even started using him. The work was done on time and was done very well. Plus, the price charged was very reasonable-which is hard to find for an electrician these days. Highly recommended."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, wiring does not need to be redone to get a dimmer switch, as they work with single-pole and three-way switches. Just ensure you choose a dimmer that is compatible with your wiring, fixture, and lightbulbs. Most homes built after 1985 have neutral wiring and work with almost all dimmers. If your home was built before 1985 and you don’t have an updated electrical system, you may have to use a non-neutral wiring dimmer.

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. 

If there isn’t a C-wire on your thermostat, you can repurpose the G-wire. The G-wire controls the fan independently of the other controls on your thermostat, so the fan-only function won’t work if you decide to go this route.

Each meter should have a serial number printed or engraved on the face of the meter. Make sure the serial number of the meter you are reading matches your account with the power company. If you live in an apartment complex, the meters are likely located all together. Yours should be labeled according to your apartment unit.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.
