"I had a great experience working with M&L Electrical Solutions. They were professional, communicated well, and completed the electrical work in a timely manner. They installed the exit signs and handled the wiring efficiently, and everything looks clean and well done. They also provided a referral for drywall repair, which I appreciated. Overall, very reliable and easy to work with. I would definitely use them again."

"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

"Tree branch bent and ripped electrical lines from my house. After many, many phone calls Double U called me back and came out same day to inspect damage and determine exactly what they would need to repair the job. The company (Josh) kept in touch with me as we had to wait for the utility company to show up. Double U got everything fixed and even the utility company was very happy the way the work was done so that they could easily hook me up with power again. They were fast, efficient, friendly and explained everything fully so I really understood what was happening to my home."

"Elliott does great work for a great price. He installed a new 100 amp breaker box and updated some of the house wiring to accommodate the new service. He also wired the newly renovated basement with all the wiring and installed all the outlets, switches and drop ceiling LED lights that have dimmer capability. He is meticulous in what he does."

"Chris is a a real consonant professional who really knows what he is doing. Very well priced. He gives discounts for non-profit organizations. Works by remote which is very convenient, especially for people like me that don't live close to his office in Milwaukee. He was also the first computer technician that answered my request for services on Angie/Handy Man. He responded quickly. He made himself available on a Sunday which was also Labor Day weekend! Very unexpected., definitely not the norm! His demeanor is wonderful. Very patient, kind, considerate, respectful,. He tries to also be informative. He explains things so you'll have more knowledge if you need the same service again. I cannot do him justice without totally recommending him to anyone needing an excellent computer specialist/technician!! I will definitely be using him again. I have a small Clinical Counseling Practice, and he understood the quick timing that was necessary. He absolutely checks all the boxes! I have a small Clinical Practice and he understood that time was very important to me to get the work I needed done quickly for my business to run smoothly. Thank you Chris. It was such a nice experience working with you. I highly recommend that no one hesitates to contact you for any related computer issues!!"

"Hired Unique to remove a Siberian Elm tree in the back yard. They had to coordinate with Com Ed to have the power shut off due to many limbs over the electric lines. Fabian was excellent to work with and the crew did an outstanding job with the removal in a timely and professional manner. Only glitch was stump grinding not included which I thought was. If a future need arises for any landscape needed would reach out to them again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While circuit breakers are designed to be reset after tripping, there isn't a strict countdown to when they will fail. The primary danger lies in a breaker tripping multiple times in a short period without allowing the components to cool down. Theoretically, a standard breaker might handle around 50 trips caused by simple overloading. However, this number can be much lower in practice. For instance, a high-current fault could damage a breaker to the point that it needs replacement after only two resets. Repeatedly resetting a breaker that trips frequently exacerbates the underlying problem by causing the electrical components, wires, and the breaker itself to overheat. This can lead to permanent damage, cause the breaker to trip unnecessarily in the future, and increase the risk of an electrical fire. If a breaker trips every few minutes, you should leave it in the 'off' position and call a qualified electrician for an inspection.

The National Electric Code states that outlets should not be spaced more than 12 feet apart, and there should be an outlet placed every 6 feet at the floor line in areas designated as living spaces. Most homes in the United States have 75 outlets, but it will depend on the amount you need based on your home's size and your needs.

Homeowners should avoid replacing a circuit breaker without turning it off. While you technically can replace a circuit breaker without turning off the main breaker—and professionals can and do—it’s only safe for electricians to use this process. Working with a live panel is extremely dangerous if you don’t have experience working with electricity. Always follow safety measures to avoid electrical shock.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

Yes, the National Electric Code (NEC) requires at least one GFCI outlet in each sectioned-off portion of an unfinished basement, partly to ensure a power source is available for a sump pump in case of flooding. If you install multiple outlets in your unfinished basement, all of them must be GFCI-protected. For finished basements, standard outlets are generally permitted, but at least one GFCI outlet is still required per circuit. Keep in mind that local municipalities may have additional codes, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to ensure your home is fully compliant.
