"I honestly can’t say enough great things about Green’s Electric. After nearly 30 years in our home and working with countless contractors, this was hands-down the best service experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, they were both professional and genuinely personable—something that’s rare to find. They even showed up a day early, which ended up working perfectly for our schedule, and completed the job quickly without sacrificing quality. What truly stood out was that they didn’t just fix the issue—they took the time to clearly explain what was going on and made sure we understood everything. That level of care and communication made all the difference. If you’re looking for reliable, timely, and top-notch service from people who truly care about their customers, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Green’s Electric. I would recommend them without hesitation—this is the gold standard for home service."

"Dominic was great. He arrived right on time and started tracing a hard-to-find short. For over four hours he checked socket after socket, switch after switch, ultimately crawling through spaces I didn't know existed. He found the problem, a rodent-chewed wire that was a likely fire hazard. He corrected the problem with new junction boxes and updated the outdoor sockets. He demonstrated a level of knowledge, professionalism and determination that puts him at the top of my list of go-to electricians. I'll be asking him back soon to take care of some outdoor lights that need upgrading. I hope he won't be bored!"

"My meter box needed repairs and my power was shut off, Mr. electric's team did an excellent job of communicating with me throughout the process. Even before I'd officially hired them they put the work in to find out exactly what work was needed to be done by calling Pepco and working closely with Pepco to ensure that the work done was approved. Overall I'm extremely happy that I chose them for this work I couldn't have found anyone better who would've gone the extra mile to help me out the way Mr. Electric did."

"On June 10, I had a company to install security equipment in my home. In doing so, the installer drilled through a wire and I did not have electricity in several outlets due to the damage. Since the company did not have an electrician on staff and was unable to refer me to anyone, I turned to Angie’s List for help in finding someone to correct the problem. I called Hands on Electric on June 11 and spoke to the owner, Kevin Williams. I explained my problem to Mr. Williams and he gave me a window of time in which he would be able to come out. Not only was he able to come out the same day that I called, but Mr. Williams was able to come much earlier than expected. Once he arrived he was able to trouble shoot and diagnose the problem. Mr. Williams was very, very friendly, professional and honest. He was able to answer my husband’s questions and explained what he was doing as he made the repairs. My husband was very happy about that and we were both impressed by the years of experience Mr. Williams had for his age. I have been looking for an electrician for a while now and have decided that I will be using Hands on Electric for all of my future projects. I was very pleased with the work that was done by Mr. Williams and will recommend him to my friends and family when they need of electrical services."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Washington, DC

In some states and municipalities, licensed and registered handypersons can change a light fixture and do minor electrical work. However, you should check with your state and local licensing boards before hiring a local handyperson. In most cases, it’s safer and more practical to hire an electrician for this job. It may cost more, but hiring a licensed electrician means they’ll get the work done to code.

Special light fixtures, known as damp-rated light fixtures, are recommended in bathrooms, particularly if they're near damp areas like showers and over the bathtub. However, in most locations, they’re not a strict requirement. For safety and longevity, damp-rated fixtures are a better choice. If you work with a lighting contractor in your area, they may be able to recommend the right kinds of fixtures for your space.

Yes, it’s possible to run a second light fixture to a switch, meaning the light switch would control more than one light fixture. Several factors can impact whether it’s possible and how much it will cost. In many cases, it may be easier and more affordable for the contractor to install independent light switches. Talk to your electrician about your idea to get their feedback.
