The information on this website is shared by Chris Electric Inc. for general educational purposes. Please read the notes below before you act on anything you read here.
General Information Only
Our tips and answers to common questions are written to help you understand your home and know when to call for help. They are not advice for your specific home or situation. Every home is different, and only an in person inspection by a qualified professional can tell you what your home needs.
Safety Comes First
Electrical work can cause serious injury, death or fire. Nothing on this website is meant as instructions for doing electrical work yourself. Where we describe steps a homeowner can take, such as resetting a breaker, follow them only if you can do so safely, and stop if anything seems wrong.
If you see smoke or fire, or someone has been shocked, leave the area and call 911 right away.
Codes, Permits and Local Rules
Electrical codes and permit rules change over time and can differ from one city to the next. Any mention of codes or permits on this site is general. Your local building department and the current code have the final say on what applies to your project.
Costs and Time Frames
Any cost factors or time frames described on this site are general. They are not quotes. The actual price and schedule for your job depend on what we find when we see it in person.
Reviews and Results
Reviews on this website reflect the experiences of individual customers. Every job is different, and past results do not guarantee the same outcome on your project.
