"We have been working with Switch Electric on various projects in our home since 2018. They installed our solar panels, our backup battery and have worked on electrical projects. Switch Electric is our go-to electrical company and we will continue using them in the future. It’s easy to get appointments, communication is great, and the people are wonderful."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Smart Electric for a couple years now. I am a Project Manager for a Custom Home Builder and this company has it dialed in! Joe is amazing to work with. He excels in putting together bids quickly, being very communicative, and is always very professional. They also have an all-star crew. Jason and Keith are some of the best electrical leads I have worked with. They always have a great attitude onsite. Also a shout out to the office staff Sammy & Molly are great to work with. They are always on top of scheduling inspections and communicating updates with me. Highly recommend Smart Electric!"

"Full Service Electrical was excellent across the board, and I will be using them in the future for any electrical work that may come up. Peter was quick, efficient, and very knowledgeable. He worked straight through two full days to get the job done, even coming back the second day to complete a few more items that unexpectedly came up during the first days work. I was quoted their very reasonable (for Seattle!) hourly rate for the extra work, and he was back the next day to finish everything up. He had novel solutions for my old house wiring that helped keep the job minimally invasive, and he was very respectful of our space, taking great care to clean up after himself. All in all, a very good experience at a very fair price. Can't recommend them enough!"

"We had three separate (not scary) electrical problems that had been annoying us for some time. I posted on Angi's List that I was looking for an electrician, and McCarthy Electric responded promptly. We didn't have to wait very long at all for an appointment. Our electrician not only quickly fixed those annoying problems, two of them requiring some creative thinking, but he also had such a pleasant, respectful personality. I am thrilled with the outcome!"

"I had an antique printing press motor that died, and Fred’s Electric was game for the challenge. They removed the motor, took it to be rebuilt and returned it in 2 weeks! I totally appreciated their help and now I’m back to printing with my Uni 3 Vandercook! Yeah Steve!"

"Alex and his brother Nick completely rewired our entire house remodel and put in a new breaker box. They listened to what we wanted and made great suggestions. They were professional and efficient and very reasonably priced. I will never go anywhere else if I have any electrical needs in the future! They even helped my mom out and she was thrilled with how nice they were and the ideas they had for her condo. Top Notch!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time.

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.
