"Colin helped us out with running electricity to our detached garage, and installing a level 2 charger for our cars. His work was excellent and efficient. He was communicative before, during, and after the project, and he was on time each day. His initial bid was very competitive, and we're super glad that we chose Colin to work with. We're looking forward to our next project with him."

"I've worked with Smith & McClain on several different projects over the past six years, including the gut renovation of an historic building, the construction of a new house, and the electrical rewiring of an old barn. In all of this work, I've been nothing but impressed by their impeccable level of craft, professionalism, attention to detail, and personability. It's always a pleasure to greet their team members, with full trust that whatever work they're doing will be completed in the best possible way. I highly recommend them!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If the outlet is a GFCI model, this is normal since these outlets have their own breakers that shut off when they encounter a problem—just hitting the reset button should solve the issue. Otherwise, the outlet could have bad wiring, or your circuit breaker could be having issues. If the issue started out of nowhere and is not on a GFCI outelt, it’s best to contact an electrician to diagnose the issue.

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.

Yes, dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity. However, proper humidity also means your home’s temperature remains more stable, thus lowering heating and air conditioning bills. The good news is you shouldn’t need to use a dehumidifier more than a few months per year, so the energy costs won’t be as noticeable as other larger appliances.

A low-voltage landscape lighting system using 15 to 20 LED lights for six hours a night will average about $5 to $10 a month in electricity costs. This is considered affordable lighting for many homeowners. Most modern landscape lights use LED bulbs, but some older styles may use halogen or incandescent bulbs, which can cost up to five times more than LEDs in electrical costs.

The size of the microwave you choose may change this answer, but for standard over-the-range microwaves, 120 volts and a three-prong grounded outlet is needed for your device.
