"I was extremely impressed by Oak Ridge Electric. Matt was able to come to my house the day after I spoke to him, he was very professional, reasonably priced and willing to handle the small job. He tested my existing light fixtures, tested my electrical and installed three new fixtures and I could not be happier. I highly recommend this business!"

"We contacted Matt to install an EV charger and a ceiling fan. Matt responded right away and scheduled an appointment. Matt showed up at the scheduled time and got right to work. We had previously had Oak Ridge do the electrical for our solar project. Both times work was done professionally. Oak Ridge will always be our preferred electrical contractor."

"I highly recommend Sparks Electric. They recently completed an electrical box expansion, installed two ceiling fans, and replaced two bathroom fans in my home. Blake provided an itemized quote for a fair price before starting the job. His team arrived on time, were polite, and cleaned up after themselves. They also had excellent communication throughout the project. Iâ m very pleased with their work and recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work."

"Great. Joe Zimmerman of AAA Computers showed up on time, knew exactly what he was doing, and even supplied a power cord which was missing from the box the movers had packed the computers in. He went out of his way to make sure things were working correctly and gave me a tutorial on fixing issues by myself were additional problems to crop up."

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Though they may seem similar at a quick glance, outdoor electrical outlets are different from indoor electrical outlets in that they have extra safety precautions to prevent electrical hazards. These include GFCIs, which some indoor outlets have, and a watertight cover that allows you to use electricity from the outlet even on a rainy day.

Yes, you can daisy chain outlets, which involves connecting multiple outlets in series. However, ensuring the circuit can handle the additional load is important to avoid overloading and tripping the breaker. The total number of outlets on a single circuit should not exceed the recommended limit, typically eight on a 15-amp circuit. Hiring a licensed electrician is always advisable for complex installations or if you're unsure of what to do.

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.

If the outlet is a GFCI model, this is normal since these outlets have their own breakers that shut off when they encounter a problem—just hitting the reset button should solve the issue. Otherwise, the outlet could have bad wiring, or your circuit breaker could be having issues. If the issue started out of nowhere and is not on a GFCI outelt, it’s best to contact an electrician to diagnose the issue.
