Why It’s Wrong to Assume an Electrician Nearby Is the Best Electrician to Hire

  A Nearby Electrician Isn’t Always the Best Bet What’s convenient is not always best. While a fast food restaurant may offer quick food at cheap prices, that same food can easily hurt your health if consumed often. Dealing with electrical issues in your home can be stressful and dangerous. But working with an electrician only because he’s close to home, might not get you the best results. Without the proper qualifications, they can damage your system, put your family...

Better to Be Prepared: Why Homes Should Have an Emergency Backup Generator

  How Homeowners Can Prepare for Emergencies With a Backup Generator It’s shown on the news after nearly every natural disaster: the power is out, and no one knows exactly how long it will be before it comes back on. When summer is just around the corner, if an emergency happens, the last thing anyone needs is for the power to go off and the AC to stop running. Small hand-held, battery-operated fans won’t do much good! It’s situations like...

What Is a Whole-Home Electrical Inspection?

  Answers About Electrical Inspections Electricity is critical to modern homes. Massive amounts of power are available throughout your home and are used for everything from charging a cell phone to heating water for a shower. In an ideal world, all of that potential energy waiting in your wiring would stay there until it was needed to run an appliance. However, having such comforts carries with it certain risks. Faulty electrical wiring is still the main cause of damage in...

Want a refrigerator that tells you when you’re running low on milk and automatically adds it to a grocery list? Done. A coffee maker that turns on every morning just when you wake up? No problem. Lights that come on during the evening, randomize when you’re away on vacation, and...

Common Signs That Your Home’s Electrical Panel Needs Repair

  Does Your Electrical Panel Need Help? Most homeowners don’t know a lot about their electrical system – unless there’s a problem. While you might think about your lights switches and electrical outlets, there’s another component that plays a major role in your home’s functionality. The electrical panel is essentially the main hub for all the electrical connections in your home.

Electrical Connection’s service was great. Josh, the technician who worked on our project, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the results and offered solid alternatives along the way. He was detail‑oriented and did a great job covering the holes in the drywall. As with any job like this, we’ll still need to finish and paint, but he patched everything up really well. This was a major project that included replacing a breaker panel and a few other smaller improvements. I’d definitely call them again when the time comes.

Super easy to schedule and work with. We got recessed lights put into two rooms, and our electrician James was informative and helpful, being detailed and upfront throughout the job. He continued to be helpful through any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Electrical Connections and Josh T specifically. We had an issue with our gas water heater, and EC / Josh were a huge help in the midst of a chaotic couple of days trying to make decisions on repair/replace, and gas vs heat pump water heaters. EC was easy to get in touch with, got me connected quickly and scheduled with Josh, who arrived on time, did a thorough inspection, and gave me a no pressure set of options to consider. He was incredibly responsive as we worked through final plumbing quotes and was able to adjust his schedule with the dispatcher to do the electrical work the same day so we could get our water heater replaced ASAP. Josh went above and beyond and was professional and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. I can’t thank Josh and EC enough for helping make this experience less stressful for our family.

Franklin was wonderful. He was so thorough and clearly walked us through the work and the issues he uncovered (including some possible fire hazards that we are SO thankful he resolved). He was also just very friendly and nice to have around! Whenever we need an electrician again, we will be happy to have him back.

Kisan Jones is an excellent electrician. This is the second time I've interacted with him. He told me what he was going to do, he did what he said and explained it to me thoroughly before and after. Both times he was in teaching mode with an apprentice by his side. I hope it was a good experience for them because I learned a lot myself. Not only that, he saved me thousands of dollars as the "other" company was only trying to upsell me. He's respectful, personable and knows his business. The other staff was responsive, caring and alert to my concerns. I highly recommend this company.

Peter Aurgaur and Jeremiah Castillo did a great job today replacing/upgrading my breaker panel. They worked very well together to efficiently perform all aspects of the job. I look forward to getting a successful inspection and then closing outage work when Pepco arrives to work with Peter to up date my meter and housing.
