Rider Electrical is a small local company located in Bellingham, WA. I enjoy working with homeowners looking for an electrician who can help them with any electrical issues or remodeling projects. My specialties are old knob and tube replacement, troubleshooting dead plugs, broken switches, flickering lights, bulbs that burn out fast, lights that don't turn on, or mystery wires and switches that seem to do nothing. I do all kinds of service change-outs, full electrical remodels, new residential houses or service calls for smaller issues like a plug not working. From large projects to small fixes, Rider Electric can help you with all your electrical, and lighting needs.

"Wonderful service! They were able to fix the outlet literally within 3 hours of my first requesting a quote. We'll definitely be using them again!"

"Dylan is a great electrician. He’s a hard worker who knows what he’s doing. You would be very fortunate if you can hire him as your electrician. I’ve rehired him to do another project."

"Legacy Remodeling did an awesome job to our bathrooms and family room. It turned out beautifully and was completed on time. After meeting up with Alvaro (owner) several times to discuss the projects, we decided to hire him. The best part about this renovation was that Alvaro did the work himself with very good eye on details, as well he is very knowledgeable on plumbing, tiles, carpentry and electrical. Also, he has a great crew. Often, they worked weekends and stayed late. We were very happy with Alvaro and his crew and, we plan to hire them again soon for our next house project."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For a 200-amp underground service, you need a minimum of #2/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper or #4/0 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Don’t forget that, at minimum, you’ll need to use a 1 1/2-inch schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit to successfully run a 200-amp underground service.

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.

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.

A gas stove doesn't always need a dedicated circuit. Unlike an electric range, which uses 240 volts and requires a 240-volt receptacle, a gas stove only uses 120 volts. In some cases, your electrician will need to replace the existing two-pole circuit breaker with a single-pole circuit breaker as well as swap out the existing 240-volt receptacle with a 120-volt replacement.
