We specialize in all types of electrical work including low voltage and smart homes as well as commercial and industrial electrical work
"This is an updated review as I don't see an option to edit the older one I posted. Kevin came to our house at least 4 times in Otsego Co. The first time he worked hard updating several outlets and only charged $350. He told us then he would come back next time with another 2 guys & would charge $900 for the day (300x3). Next time, he only came with one other guy who did most of the work while Kevin went away part time. Still charged us $900. From then on, work proceeded slowly for $900/day with only Jordan his buddy working full time, while he would go away part time. They never even put up half the fixtures after the 4 days of work. The 4th day he charged over $1500 because he put in a subpanel upstairs which he claimed we needed. Kevin said he would be staying 10 hrs to finish everything on that last day. But in reality, he left early, had an excuse that he needs to get to a pharmacy and didn't finish the work. I think he drags it out on purpose to keep coming back and making $$$."

"Exceptional service and communication. Not only was the work done well, on-time, and at a reasonable price, the staff went above and beyond to get my project completed when it was being held up by NYSEG. And when there was a question about the final result, the manager (Ralph) left the office to look for himself. He quickly solved the problem (which turned out to be ignorance on my part). Ralph and the folks at Ross will be my first call for any electrical work in the future."

Warning signs include outlets that no longer grip plugs securely, visible damage to the faceplate, unusual warmth, or discoloration around the outlet. If you notice sparking when plugging in devices, breakers that trip when the outlet is used, or detect burning smells, these indicate potentially serious problems requiring immediate professional attention.
A straightforward outlet replacement takes a qualified electrician about 30 minutes or less. However, if the outlet has significant damage or the electrician needs to diagnose underlying electrical issues, the repair might extend to a couple of hours. The timeline depends on the complexity of the problem, accessibility of the outlet, and whether additional electrical work is needed.
While simple outlet replacement is technically possible for homeowners with basic electrical knowledge, safety concerns make professional installation advisable. If attempting DIY repairs, you must properly shut off power at the breaker box and verify the circuit is dead using a voltage tester. Complex issues involving circuit problems or specialized outlets should always be handled by licensed professionals to ensure safety and code compliance.
There's no set replacement schedule for electrical outlets in good condition. Instead, replace outlets when you notice signs of damage, loose connections, or functionality problems. Outlets in older homes may need updating to meet current safety codes, especially if they lack proper grounding or are located in areas now requiring GFCI protection, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets contain specialized safety technology that monitors electrical current and quickly cuts power when imbalances are detected. These complex internal components make them more expensive than standard outlets. Additionally, they must be installed in specific locations to meet electrical code requirements, often requiring specialized installation techniques that increase labor costs.
Request verification of proper licensing and insurance coverage. Ask about their experience with similar repairs and their process for diagnosing electrical problems. Request a written estimate detailing parts, labor, and any potential additional costs. Inquire about warranties on their work and the expected completion timeframe. Also, ask if they'll inspect the circuit associated with the problematic outlet to identify any related issues.
