"I hired Jeff to replace an exhaust fan in my upstairs bathroom. During our preliminary meeting, he provided me with the appropriate measurements to search for a replacement unit. The day the work was scheduled, he was on time.. overall I was very pleased with the results. Before leaving, I told him about a light fixture just outside the bathroom that wasnâ t working. He was able to identify the problem which turned out to be a defective switch. He had the part and was able to repair the light fixture for a small fee. He was very professional with the work he performed."

"Excellent service. Very professional and personable. Eric skillfully fixed a mess of wiring left by a previous installer. And he made all the plates and switches look great. That means a lot. As if by magic, lights and outlets that hadn't worked in years came to life! My wife and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Eric!"

"Ryan is an excellent electrician. We asked him to change a switch for bathroom light. He was able to fix potentially dangerous wiring and replace the switch. He also replaced two wall sconces. He is careful and meticulous in his approach to any job. He has done many jobs at our home that other electrical services did not fix. I would reckon highly"

"S & S Eletric was friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, skilled, and well priced. I had a new outlet installed for a garage door opener and a couple of outlets upgraded "to code." The results were perfect. I will call S and S for any future electric work."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Schenectady, NY

Yes, the National Electrical Code mandates GFCI protection for all outdoor outlets. These specialized outlets detect minute current imbalances that could indicate electricity flowing through water or a person rather than the intended circuit. When detected, they automatically disconnect power within milliseconds, providing crucial protection against shock hazards in moisture-prone outdoor environments.

Professional electricians complete straightforward outdoor outlet installations in one to two hours. More complex projects involving lengthy wire runs, wall penetrations, or panel modifications may require several hours to one day or more. DIY installations often take considerably longer due to the learning curve, safety precautions, and potential troubleshooting required.

While installing an outdoor outlet is technically possible for homeowners with electrical experience, it's not recommended as a DIY project. Outdoor electrical installations involve specialized knowledge of weatherproofing techniques, grounding requirements, and electrical codes. Mistakes can lead to serious safety hazards, property damage, code violations, and potential insurance complications. Professional electricians bring expertise that ensures both safety and compliance.
