Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay: Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about electrical repair, diagnosis installation? You’re not the only one. It’s normal to be unsure of a specific electrical term or procedure and as a matter of fact, we encourage questions. See below to find out what your friends and neighbors have asked us:


Can you tell me exactly how much this electrical job will cost me?

In our years of experience, we have found that our customers prefer an accurate price based on their exact electrical issue. Most phone quotes are subject to change once the technician sees the job and we don't think that is fair to you. By allowing us to diagnose the problem in person, you will know exactly what it will cost to get the job done before we begin work.

Is my aluminum wiring safe?
Aluminum wiring itself is not dangerous to have in your house. The issue with aluminum wiring is in faulty terminations either in receptacles and switches, or light fixtures and equipment. Due to expansion and contraction of the conductor itself and the fact that aluminum will oxidize over time, heat can be generated at points where the aluminum wiring is improperly terminated.

How can I save energy in my office?
The quickest and easiest way to save energy in any building is by making sure your lighting system is as efficient as possible. There are many options available to make your lighting more efficient, from retrofitting existing fluorescent fixtures, to replacing old fixtures with new energy efficient solutions.

Benefits of Solar Panels

Considering solar power? While you may not see all of the benefits immediately, we can guarantee it will be worth it in the long run.

There are plenty of benefits of going solar, but the most important is that we will have access to solar energy for as long as the sun is alive - another 6.5 billion years. The surface of the earth receives 120,000 terawatts or solar radiation (sunlight) which happens to be 20,000 times more power than what is necessary to supply the entire world.

Although there are some emissions associated with solar energy, it generally does not cause pollution. It’s a better option than depending on non-renewable energy sources that do in fact cause pollution.

Tired of spending a fortune in electricity costs? You’ll be glad to hear that you can save more than $100 per month on your bills and you can even “sell” excess electricity. How does that sound?

If you’re thinking of switching to solar energy, give Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay a call. We’d love to discuss your options and help you choose a plan specific to your home.
