"I called Day Star, and Roger answered and took down all my information. He said that he could come by and provide a free estimate that very afternoon. Roger and Drew (Father and Son) showed up on time, did a very thorough assessment, and provided me a quote by 7 AM the next morning. I got additional quotes for the same work, and although the other quotes were less expensive, Roger and Drew pointed out additional things that needed fixing from previous electrical work that was done. I selected Day Star, and couldn't be more pleased with the result. They quickly scheduled the work to be completed, arrived promptly when they said they would, worked diligently through the day, and completed the work. They will definitely be my Electrical Contractor of choice from now on."

"Excellent experience working with Daystar Electric - they are skilled professionals, and provide excellent service. . I had a lot of work associated with a home remodel. Roger met with me to review the work and work up an estimate - he provided excellent suggestions and advice. The work was done efficiently and expertly, and with minimal disruption to drywall/ceilings. Communication was excellent throughout the process. It was a pleasure working with Daystar and I will definitely hire them again. Highly recommend"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

Updating your old outlets, or adding grounding clamps to a metal box are two methods. Each home is different. Consult an electrician for advice on grounding a wire without doing extensive work to dig into the ground.

It's less expensive to run power overhead because it doesn’t require excavation, and the power cables are less costly. However, underground electric service is better protected from weather and general wear and tear, so it’s less likely to get damaged. When determining which way to run power, consult a local electrician to get an expect opinion.

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.
