"I hired Atlas Electrical Solutions to run a cable from the third floor to the second floor. Youssef was highly professional and discussed the details of the project thoroughly before confirming. He was punctual, and incredibly detail oriented throughout the project. He was also very friendly and courteous. I'd highly recommend Atlas Electrical Solutions!"

"Bowden installed an electrical outlet to operate an electric shad in the foyer, recessed light above the garage entryway and a ceiling fan. Plus the electrician was on time, very courteous and respectful, used drop clothes and shoe covers to minimize dirt, swept and vacuumed area, and reasonably priced. They receive an AAA plus. Will definitely will be using Bowden for other electrical projects. If looking for an awesome electrical company - contact Bowden"

"I am a happy customer and will recommend Cody Malone Services! Even though I got a slightly cheaper quote from someone else, I chose Steve based on two things: past reviews and his willingness to stop by my house to give a quote. His deputies Jeremy and Demeric did all the work. They were very polite, professional and hard working young men and have a bright future ahead. They also wore masks all the time which I really appreciated. On last day, I asked Jeremy to do a bit of extra work to replace a switch but he didn't ask extra money for it, which I liked, and so he/they earned the tip. I have recommended Steve to couple of my friends already and will definitely hire them for all my future electrical/lighting projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Choosing between 12- or 14-gauge wire for your house depends on the electrical requirements of the circuit. A 12-gauge wire is thicker and can handle more power, making it better suited for devices such as kitchen appliances, air conditioning units, or electric heaters.

A 14-gauge wire is thinner and can handle less electrical current than a 12-gauge wire. It's ideal for circuits with lower power requirements, such as lighting or general-purpose outlets in bedrooms or living rooms.

A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm’s length of the entryway.

If your breaker box won’t reset, stay on, trips when overloaded, or gets seriously damaged, you will need to replace the breakers or possibly the entire panel. A damaged breaker can lead to a fire, so it’s best to err on the safe side and look into replacement. Hire a professional electrician to replace a breaker box to ensure your personal and property safety.

If it’s called a USB outlet without any further designation, it likely refers to a USB-A port. These are the original USB connections and are commonly integrated within power outlets. In recent years, USB-A cables have slowly been usurped by faster and more reliable USB-C cables. USB-C connectors are small and ultra-thin with a reversible design, while USB-A connectors are slightly larger and bulkier.

Motion sensors are actually an eco-friendly option and don’t use as much electricity compared to other lighting sources. Motion sensor lights are always on “standby,” which requires a phantom source of power at all times, but for most sensor light models, this is only a small amount of electricity—typically around one watt of power.
