Testimonials
Excellent. Bob showed up on time, and was very professional. He listened to my issues, and asked good questions about how I would like to solve it. He talked about what I might want to do in the future, and presented options to me. There was no pressure, the work was done in a neat and orderly fashion, they cleaned up after themselves and left the areas as they found them. Their price was fair, and they got right to work and finished same day. Will use them again when I have more electrical needs!
John (owner) was responsive and the work was well done. I needed a ceiling light fixture moved and a hallway light was not working. Anthony did the work with minimal drywall damage and installed a new, stronger box. John assessed the hallway light issue as a bad switch and make the repair very quickly. Communication was easy and I was very happy with the work. I highly recommend coretrade!
My mom’s condo needed what we thought was a simple Electrical fix. I contacted John from CoreTrade who arrived on time, detailed evaluation and found out the problem was a very serious & complex one. He was very professional ,took the time to explain the problem and How to fix it to me, & my mom so we understand it. He even spoke to the condo association representative when we asked him to. He answered all of our questions ( We had lots of questions) He is very knowledgeable. I think he is one of the best electrician which I have have worked with. My mom & I were very happy with his work , politeness , honesty and professionalism & will call on him again & refer him to others without any reservations.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A F-- USE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER?
They both perform the same function, disrupting the flow of electricity when a fault is sensed. A fuse will have to be replaced once it has tripped, whereas a circuit breaker won’t need replacement. It is for this reason that circuit breakers are more commonly used.
WHY DO MY LIGHT BULBS BLOW OUT FREQUENTLY?
There are several reasons this could be occurring. However, one particular reason that should be ruled out, for the sake of fire safety, is overheating. A light fixture with poor airflow design will result in excessive heat buildup around the bulb. Having to replace bulbs again and again is not just an inconvenience, it’s also a fire hazard. Have your light fixtures inspected by an electrician if you notice that bulbs are constantly blowing out.
WHAT DOES THE TERM “SHORT CIRCUIT” MEAN?
When a wire carrying an electrical current comes into contact with the grounded conductor wire, or the equipment ground wire, excessive heat is created. If you see sparks in your electrical panel, you’ve likely witnessed a short circuit and you should have it checked by an electrician.
WHAT IS A GFCI OUTLET?
This type of electrical outlet is designed to protect you from electrical shock if moisture is present. They are commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor outlets and garages. They feature test/reset buttons. Depress the “test” button to turn off the GFCI. The “reset” button turns it back on after it has tripped. If it doesn’t reset, you’ve got a problem and will need an electrician.
