"Nick is a direct communicator, returns calls, is an efficient and timely installer, uses e-technology for communication and billing if you like and his pricing is really fair. He provides quality work and is willing to come back if something isn't right, which he did when I suspected a problem with a ceiling fan; that was ultimately a product issue rather than an install problem. Nick knows his products and is willing to make recommendations. I recommended him to a local business that my wife works for and she told me he got the job done and the price was below the estimate. I certainly recommend that you give him a chance to bid on your project(s). I have worked with a number of local electricians and I prefer a smaller business like Nick Electric that appreciates my business. Tell him Jack sent you!"

"Shawn was very helpful and knowledgeable. However, the fees for the services were excessively high given no electrical work was needed to mount my TV."

"Smoothly and efficiently. The permit and required inspection appointments were all arranged prior to the appointment. Mike and Travis were organized and work really moved along without a hitch. Mike reviewed the work completed with me and instructed me in the use of my new panel and all house surge protector. Both gentlemen wore masks for safety and they left the house and yard looking great. Not a thing for me to do. Cardinal is an outstanding company and I am so glad I was referred to them. I now use them for all my heating, cooling and electrical needs."

"This is a truly great company. They provide great customer service and spend time explaining the details and answering questions. My husband obsessed about every single detail and could not deny that it was a no brainer. Our first electric bill since installing the panels was a CREDIT! I was not expecting that. If you have ever considered solar, seriously, just do it. Long term, you can not go wrong."

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!"

"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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, wires are still hot, even if the light switch is off. The only way to ensure the wire is no longer live and that you can work with it safely is to open your circuit breaker, locate the breaker for the outlet you’re working with, and turn off the breaker for that outlet.

No. When applied properly, electrical tape is designed to be an insulating material with high resistance to electricity. It can reinforce electrical connections and act as a safeguard to help ensure the electrical current stays within its designated pathways. However, it’s important to note that it can break down over time and you should never use it as a replacement for electrical wire caps.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

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.
