"Quote came in at a price I expected and S&S will be moving around some work to complete the work ahead of schedule since my family will not be available when they were expecting to complete the work."

"Max followed up quickly after our initial inquiry, and scheduling an appointment was a piece of cake. He arrived at our home promptly at our agreed upon time and quickly fixed what we needed done for a very reasonable price. We would definitely use Unstoppable again for any future electrical work."

"We had a wonderful experience with Everlight Solar. Nick did a great job of going through and explaining everything and how it would all work. The crew does a fantastic job and they do it quickly. They even suggested a placement change of the panels on the spot to maximize my production. One thing I wish is that I had added a couple more panels to the system beyond what they recommended- just to get that extra going back into the grid. I have seen the cost savings in just one month on my utility bill. More sun would be better but I did record 74% less consumption for Sept. than the previous year! The days are getting shorter, so have to take that into account, I look forward to next year and seeing just how much more it can produce. I recommend Everlight Solar to anyone who is looking at installing a system. Feel free to use me as a referral too..."

"In 2019 I bought an older home and hired ICRA Electric to rewire the entire home including upgrading the electric panel. Aaron Mattingly (owner) was referred to me by someone I trusted. I typically only use contractors by referral. Not only was his bid lower than the other bids I had received, he was very flexible with my schedule and accommodating with changes I made throughout the job without gouging me. Aaron also provided practical electrical suggestions for future needs that I wasn’t even thinking about and ensured everything I wanted was completed according to code. I have never done an online review in the past, but it is rare these days to find a contractor that is more about making sure you will be happy with the final product for years to come than getting as much money out of you as they can. There are many reputable contractors out there. The challenge is navigating through the others who don’t want to be found out. ICRA Electric is one of the good ones."

"We had a complicated wiring issue in our bathroom ceiling light. AB took my call and offered to schedule a service I two days. When I explained there was no light in the room, they agreed right away to come early the next morning. It was not an easy job but after a few hours all was resolved to our utmost satisfaction. They were quick to come, neat and professional in their work. Everything is expensive now but they were worth their price."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You will need a permit for any electrical work that involves installing or replacing wiring, moving or installing new fixtures, switches, or outlets, hardwiring appliances or HVAC equipment, installing subpanels, and upgrading electrical service. You typically don’t need a permit to have an electrician replace an existing light fixture or electrical box. You can always call your local building department to see if your project needs a permit, but a professional electrician will be able to tell you. In most cases, your professional will pull the permits for you.

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

You should always turn off a breaker whenever electrical work is being done. This step can prevent electrical shock and injury. Also, if a breaker is repeatedly tripping, it can mean there is an electrical overload, and it should be shut off. You should contact an electrician to figure out the cause. Make sure to review how to turn off your circuit breaker safely if you do it yourself, and follow safety precautions to avoid severe injuries.

Professional services ensure safe installations, reliable repairs, and compliance with codes emphasizing safety in electrical networks.

GFCI outlets should be clearly labeled with LINE and LOAD labels, with arrows leading to the proper terminals. The line terminals are typically at the top, and the load terminals are typically at the bottom.
