Customers say: Quality work

"Jim & his team did a great job fixing the electrical system in my new house. The house had an ancient relay system from the 50s. Excel did all of the work on time & in budget. Because the system was so old there were random issues that popped up later. Jim & his team came back right away every time I called. I highly recommend Excel Electric."

"Matt came right out and fixed two light switches that weren't working for one of my customers. He was quick, efficient and very professional. We especially appreciate it because it was done a Friday and we called at the last minute. We highly recommend them and will call them for all of our electrical needs in the future!"

"I whole heartedly recommend the Engelharts. They've been out four times to do various projects for me as I thought them up. They've been inventive and creative in coming up with some of their solutions. I should also note that they know their way around wireless switches and LED lighting. They've been prompt and they've gotten the job done on time if not earlier. And they clean up after themselves."

"Everlight Solar and their products are great, I would highly recommend it! I was extremely skeptical on this at first, but my energy consigliere Nick Carnagey was very patient and made sure every concern I had was fully addressed. And anytime I had a question or concern he and the rest of the staff at Everlight were always super helpful and quick to respond. The system looks great! It consistently performs as Everlight said it would or better. Our first energy bill with the system on for a month was only $45 which was mostly the basic hookup and service fees. The install process took only an afternoon and the install guys could not have been more professional or courteous. You really can't go wrong with the folks at Everlight and the systems they use and install."

Small jobs welcome

"They did great, swapped out an outlet so that it would work with our new AC, handled everything over text and asked detailed questions, and was super patient with the fact that I had no idea what I was doing. They were able to come out the next day and the outlet works and looks great, they were in and out pretty quickly and were super professional the whole time. Would highly recommend these guys, and would definitely go with them in the future if we need more work done. Also was super kind to ask if vacuuming was ok, or if it would freak our cats out, and our super grumpy little cat even felt comfortable coming out while he was around, too. Great experience overall. Thanks!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

It’s recommended that you test GFCI outlets monthly with the test and reset buttons. At minimum, you should test GFCI outlets when entering a new season, or every three months. These are important home safety features that you should ensure work properly.

It’s a great idea to replace and update outlets, especially if an outlet stops working. New outlets work well with modern appliances and devices. Over time, outlets become old and worn—they can even become damaged, cracked, and burnt if the wiring is old and outdated. Old outlets and wiring can cause smoke, sparks, flickering lights, and an electrical fire.

A 60W LED bulb is likely labeled as “60W replacement” on the package—that’s because it provides about the same light output as a 60W incandescent bulb. In reality, it likely uses less energy—usually 15 watts or less. If that’s the case, then it’s perfectly fine to put a 60W LED bulb in a 40W socket. Your best bet is to read the package carefully. It will tell you the LED bulb’s actual wattage, and as long as it’s lower than the fixture, the bulb will be safe to use.

Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.
