"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."

"I was in a time crunch due to selling my house and repeat inspection. I had called at least ten electricians/contractors and this company is the ONLY company that followed through. Martin had arrived and promptly started working and then his partner even came to finish our house on the weekend. I cannot recommend this company enough. Great service and price, so thankful for them."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim was highly professional and punctual in fact they showed up an hour early. I wasn’t able to be home while Tim was performing the work. But he kept me in the loop the entire time. He advices a better alternative to solve my electrical outlet needs. Tim was very responsive with addressing all of the questions I asked via text leading up to the install day. Over the last couple of years I’ve had electrical work done by three other electricians two of which were good. Overall the level of service Tim provided was above and beyond."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

An average, 400-square-foot electric heated driveways consume approximately $3 per hour in terms of electricity. The price may slightly fluctuate depending on your local energy cost. A simple formula to calculate your heated driveway’s total wattage consumption is by multiplying the square footage by 50 watts and then dividing it by 1,000 to get the kilowatt number. Multiply that with your local energy cost per hour and there you have the hourly operating cost.

Smart light switches are designed to work with most traditional light fixtures and wiring. However, there are several compatibility factors to consider. Some smart switches require a neutral wire to function, which may not be present in older homes (typically built before 1985). If you plan to use a dimming feature, ensure your LED bulbs are specifically the dimmable type. Additionally, a stable Wi-Fi connection is necessary for remote control, though some models may use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible smart home hub.

Yes, wire connectors are the better option for securing splices compared to electrical tape. It is not recommended to use electrical tape as it is not secure enough to keep the splices together. Plus, electrical tape is more vulnerable to damage, which can cause a risk of fire over time. 

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.

A light switch can stop working for several reasons. Typical causes include a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, both of which shut off power to the switch. Worn-out or faulty internal switch components can also prevent it from functioning properly. Loose or disconnected wiring within the switch or electrical box is another frequent issue. Additionally, switches may fail due to age, excessive use, or physical damage. In some cases, problems with the light fixture or bulb itself might be mistakenly attributed to the switch.
