"Booked an appointment on Sunday and Travis came out the following day to install two outdoor lights. Great customer service and talked me through the steps. He completed a home inspection to highlight areas of need for future projects. A little over priced but due to it being electrical, I rather pay the money needed to get the projected completed safety."

"I have 2 circuit breaker boxes. I am still not sure I needed a 400 amp upgrade. I already has 300 amps and never had a single problem .Now I have an unsightly and huge piece of metal conduit running up the side of my roof, through a huge hole drilled through my roof. It is 5 feet off the roof with pieces of metal hanging off it. In addition there is a massive electrical line about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, running through my attic and coming down the other side of my house. One breaker box is not flat and has large gaps all around it. The boys who did the job seemed to do it well. It seemed they do not often do this sort of thing . Jesse and Nick worked really hard. The quality control guy came after all the work was done, swept and labeled circuit boxes.Now Will Sandridge who seems to sell the HVAC and minisplits is not calling back. I also told Melvin Turner I wanted my old circuit breaker boxes and breakers. They took them away without even asking if I wanted them. My house looks ugly now and the reason I put in that electric upgrade was to get minisplits or a heat pump and no one is responding.I asked about a surge protector and got a shrug. I am rather devastated and feel I was railroaded into an electric upgrade perhaps to give the boys the experience? I see no other reviews with an electric upgrade, just generators."

"I live in Florida, lightning capitol, so I felt having lightning rods installed would be great protection for my house. I would recommend this company if you want to protect your house. They were very professional and efficient. Because of many different roof lines on my house, they needed to install 7 rods. They arrived at noon and finished in a couple of hours. I am very happy with their work, and feel much safer."

"I would like to recommend Joshua Smith as a Tesla installer and overall electrician. He did a great job for my wife and I on the installation of our powerwall 3 and car chargers within our garages as well as trouble shooting some other electrical problems at our new home at Smith Mountain Lake. Additionally, he answers phone calls and shows up on time. Again, we highly recommend Joshua."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Upgrading a two-prong outlet to a three-prong outlet typically costs between $20 and $50 per outlet if the electrical box is already grounded. However, the cost can increase significantly if the system is not grounded, as this may require grounding the box or upgrading your electrical panel. Electricians generally charge between $50 and $100 per hour for labor, and the total cost for a more complex installation could range from $130 to $300.

You can run a small or basic standard-size refrigerator on a 15-amp circuit. But you should plug a modern, standard-size refrigerator into a 20-amp dedicated circuit. The refrigerator needs to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning it is the only appliance and outlet on that circuit breaker. This method prevents tripping the breaker and reduces the chance of an electrical fire

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.

An outlet can trip because the circuit it’s on is overloaded, meaning the devices plugged into it are drawing more power than the circuit can safely carry. Another culprit could be because a power surge from a storm or accident caused a problem with your local electrical grid or there’s a short or a fault causing power to run through the circuit in a dangerous or unplanned way.

A weatherhead, the meter base, the breaker box, and a meter panel are all vital components of a working meter riser. If one part of the system is faulty, it could damage other parts, so consider having an electrician inspect the entire unit. The cost to replace the meter panel alone may cost $500 to $1,000, so consider this in your budget for replacing the meter riser.
