Customers say: Quality work

"Britt did an amazing job of rewiring out 1920s home. It had the original knob and tube still present and needed a complete rewiring. He was able to start the work quickly and worked efficiently/hard to finish within a week and a half. He was professional and easy to work with and did the work for a very reasonable cost. I am an extreme procrastinator, so it has been over three years since he did this work. This actually makes my review more valuable; I have had no electrical issues whatsoever over the last three years. I think this proves his work is high quality."

"I contacted Skyline Electrical Services through Home Advisor. I was surprised by Home Advisor, in the past Iâ  ve had problems with them (Home Advisor) calling me, which I didnâ  t request. This time I went right to Skyline Electrical. I stop with Nick (I believe it was Nick) on the phone and explained what we needed done. He got me a quote and I thought it was going to be far higher than that (I have talked to a couple of companies over the last few weeks.) I ended up calling Nick again when we decided to put new lights up, and the price on that was good to. Nick sounded like a man that knew his business and how to keep the prices in the ball park. Now to the good stuff. Today Skyline was scheduled to be at my house by 9:00am, and they were right on time, which was great. Ryan introduced himself; he was friendly and very polite and easy to talk to. We had had three things to get done, the first was a ceiling fan, the second was to change the ballast on our fluorescent light, the third was two new lights outside our garage door. We talked while he was removing the old fan and we shared some information about our military background. Ryan worked while we talked, and I just sensed a young man that knew what he wanted in life and was doing it. When Ryan completed the fan, he checked his work to ensure everything was correct and working correctly. It took him no time to get the replace the ballast, and low and behold the light worked. He finished that and did the outside lights in no time. I was impressed with Ryan, he is the type of worker every company dreams of. Nothing but AWESOME! Would I use Skyline Electrical Services again? Oh yes, reliable, on time and great prices."

"Update 10/07 — I had an electrical issue with a washer/dryer (due to manufacturer error), and texted Tripped for help at 1pm. They had someone drive out immediately (my home is in a VERY remote location), and Marqus arrived by 3pm. The issue was fixed by 3:45pm. This company has EXCELLENT service, and I could not recommend them enough!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

Yes, you can put a dimmer on a three-way switch, but it can’t be the same kind of dimmer you’d put on a standard light switch. A three-way switch requires a three-way dimmer. If two switches control a single or multiple lights, then you need a three-way dimmer. The type of light bulb should also be compatible with your fixture and dimmer.

A multimeter does not measure frequency, charge, inductance, and other electrical quantities. Instead, it measures voltage (AC and DC), current, and resistance.

Yes, you can plug an extension cord or an outlet extender into a GFCI outlet. The GFCI outlet will still be able to protect your system in the same way.
