"Called Red Chicago initially for adding two new electrical lines to where I wanted to replace my gas water heaters with electric ones. Dave informed me that he could do all the work and was quick to visit the work site and get me an estimate that same day. The work was professionally done and both the plumbers and electrician were very good in what they did. The job site was cleaned up when they left and everything is working well. I would definitely use Dave and Red Chicago Inc. again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Under-cabinet lighting offers excellent energy efficiency compared to ceiling lighting, especially when making the switch from halogen to LED lights. Whether it’s strip lights, puck lights, or built-in lights, these bulbs typically consume less energy while delivering powerful and effective illumination. This eco-friendly lighting solution ensures optimal brightness while reducing energy consumption and operating costs.

Most electric water heaters have a built-in shut-off switch, so you can simply turn that to the OFF position. Some water heaters have the switch inside a panel, so you might need to unscrew the panel, remove it, move aside the insulation, and then shut the water heater off. To make sure it’s off, you can also locate the switch for your water heater in your electrical panel and shut the power off there. Most electrical panels have dedicated switches for the water heater, so you can shut off the power without affecting the rest of your home.

If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. 

There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.

Yes, you can plug an extension cord or an outlet extender into a GFCI outlet. The GFCI outlet will still be able to protect your system in the same way.

On average, the cost to wire a new home ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot. The cost to rewire a house is around the same, ranging from $2 to $4 per square foot. Often, though, new wiring comes with lower overall costs since it’s much easier to access a home’s foundation.
