"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

Yes, wires are still hot, even if the light switch is off. The only way to ensure the wire is no longer live and that you can work with it safely is to open your circuit breaker, locate the breaker for the outlet you’re working with, and turn off the breaker for that outlet.

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.

Smart light switches are designed to be compatible with most lights and traditional home wiring, but there are several key factors to check. First, verify your home's wiring, as some smart switches require a neutral wire to operate, which may not be present in older houses (often built before 1985). Always check the wiring requirements for the specific model you choose. Second, consider your light bulbs; while smart switches work with almost any light, using a dimming feature requires dimmable bulbs, such as dimmable LEDs. Finally, ensure you have the necessary network connection. Most smart switches need a Wi-Fi connection for remote control, but some older models might use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible hub.

You can check if an electrician is licensed in New York by using the online license verification search tool offered by the New York State Education Department. The database is updated daily and gives you the option of searching by license number, contractor name, or the name of the business.
