"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"We called Jason upon recommendation from our plumber, Cliff. We also called one other highly rated electrician who declined to help us since we had reached out to someone else for a quote. Jason called us back within 24 hours, scheduled a trip to our house the next week, and completed the work the week after. When he first called, we explained we would like to install a 50 Amp box for our travel trailer and attach it to the side of our shed. Jason was very knowledgeable about the wiring needed and explained the process in a professional and friendly manner. We told him we were considering digging the 80 foot trench ourselves and he said that was fine. When we mentioned that to the other electrician who returned our call a couple of days later, he was not happy with us trenching, telling us he had all the equipment to do it and didnâ t have time for us any way. Needless to say, we decided to let Jason and his assistant, Dean, do the trenching. We are so glad we did! - prompt, professional, gets the job done! A few hours in the morning, and it was done! Jason even fixed a couple of outlets in the house we were concerned about and added a GIF outlet near the new breaker box and 50 amp box at no additional charge. I went out and asked questions which Jason readily answered encouraging me to ask any question I had. There is no doubt we will have Jason come out again for any of our future electrical needs including wiring our 12x12 shed."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

No, because amps and volts measure very different things. However, you can use basic equations to find amps or volts by using data about one of the measurements to calculate the other.

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.

Grounding an electrical outlet can take as little as 30 minutes if you only need to replace the outlet or around two hours if you need to add a ground wire. However, more extensive electrical work will take longer, such as hiring an electrician to ground multiple outlets during the same service.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.
