Guidance for safer, smarter home electrical choices.
I'm Hurley Brown, founder of BrightHome Advisor and a state-licensed electrical contractor in Georgia and North Carolina. I’ve worked as a journeyman electrician for more than 35 years, serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients throughout my career.
Over the decades, I’ve helped thousands of homeowners with their electrical systems. Again and again, I heard the same thing: “I wish I understood this better before I called.”

I built BrightHome Advisor to bridge that gap. This site helps homeowners understand the why behind electrical recommendations, the options available, and the questions to ask before hiring a professional.
BrightHome Advisor does not teach do-it-yourself electrical wiring. Instead, it gives you clear, honest information so you can talk confidently with licensed electricians, avoid unnecessary costs, and choose upgrades that actually benefit your home.
Whether your home uses traditional switches and outlets or you’re building a smart home with connected devices, this site is for you. I cover:
You’ll always get information that is practical, safe, and based on decades of real-world professional experience — presented in plain language, without fear-mongering or technical jargon.
Thank you for visiting BrightHome Advisor. I hope this site helps you feel confident, informed, and prepared for whatever electrical decisions your home needs.
