Can answer questions in the residential,commercial electrical fields. From Trouble shooting to new installation,service changes and related items. We can answer questions about Generators,We are a Authorized dealer and service center for a few major Brands Please refrain from asking for prices or estimates for any electrical work. All anyone here can do is provide a wide range of prices, often in hundreds or thousands of dollars span. Best that you contact at least three local contractors to get quotes for the same exact scope of work relating to your project. Even getting pricing from local contractors you often will see a substantial price difference. Pricing is very regional, both for labor and materials. And each job is very unique. Any prices given here will be SWAG (Scientific Wildass Guesses). Visit us on line at www.gbelect.net

Just about any home wiring question. (not appliance repair) I have done all kinds of home wiring for myself, including adding a new breaker box, etc. Please, questions from North America only. Please be specific with details. Please note that I am a homeowner who is self-taught. I know a lot, but I am not an electrician. I always base my answers on following the rules. If you are asking me how to jury-rig something, you probably won't like my answer.
