"The team at Current Electric was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Work was performed well. Communication and punctuality were top notch. My only minor complaint is they are on the pricier side of electrical contractors. But with most work you get what you pay for."

"We had an install of a Tesla charger and an upgrade to our electrical box to 220 plus some other miscellaneous items. Joe and team were able to use existing materials to save us a lot over three other quotes we received. The work passed all codes with no effort on our part. After the team left you would never know they had been there everything was clean and orderly. Will definitely hire again for future projects."

"I can't imagine things going any better than they did. When I first called, the owner answered the phone and I gave him a quick overview of what needed to be done. He came over a couple of hours later to review the job and gave me an estimate. Once I had the cook top, I called to schedule the work and only had to wait a couple of days to get the work done. The electrician arrived on time, completed the work and cleaned up nicely. He was really good about explaining exactly what he was going to do and made sure that I had his cell number in case I had any follow up questions. These guys are now my go to electrical contractor."

"This is the second job Paul Griffin has completed for me. Again, as on the first job, the work was done with professional and care. The results are exceptional! In addition to bringing the wiring into compliance, Paul greatly improved the accessibility and and appearance of the outlets, which are in very visible locations within the rooms. The work was done in a timely manner, and for the price that had been quoted.

In addition, while he was here, Paul also replaced five other outlets for a very reasonable additional cost. 

I think Paul takes pride in his work, and that makes meI feel confident that the work Paul does is done correctly and in the safest, most efficient manner.

I highly recommend North Shore Electric, and plan to have additional work completed in the near future."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was great at communicating with me throughout the discussion of what we were looking to achieve & when the project was able to be scheduled. Kevin arrived for the job just as planned & he communicated about the project terrifically, just as Tim had, all throughout the project progression throughout the morning. He had the job completed in three hours & it turned out beautifully!! We are extremely pleased with our new wafer lights that have replaced our old fluorescent kitchen light! We highly recommend Elite Electrical!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Modern homes have a lot of devices and appliances running at once. That means there are many different wires and cables throughout the house. Service entrance conductors (also known as service entrance cables or service feed wires) connect the external weatherhead for the utility pole to the circuit breaker box. This is your home’s connection to your local power grid.

An electrician will charge between $100 to $150 to install a new light switch. Whether you need to cut into the wall and repair drywall will determine your final project cost, as you can expect to pay $50 to $75 per square foot to repair drywall.

The number of outdoor outlets that can be on one circuit depends on the circuit's capacity and the electrical load of each outlet. Outdoor outlets should ideally be on a dedicated circuit that is not shared with other outlets, and each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps. A circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended. It’s important to use GFCI protection for all outdoor outlets to prevent electrical shocks. Overall, it's crucial to avoid overloading the circuit and take necessary safety precautions.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

You should install a 25-amp breaker for your outdoor electrical outlet. If your outlet is only for use in an outdoor kitchen area for standard appliances, then a 15- to 20-amp circuit breaker should work. However, you will need to install a GFCI receptacle or breaker to ensure that the breaker trips on contact with water.
