Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend Jesse of Rough Terrain Services. He is a very personable and responsible individual who possesses high integrity and skills. He was very responsive to my needs. He did an outstanding job in the Weedeating, brushing and tree work. He mad a number of burn piles which he then burned and monitored. Jesse was very reliable, arriving on time and providing professional service. I have highly recommended him to friends and neighbors in the North Fork and Oakhurst areas. I look forward to his working on our property in the future."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

There are three main wires on a doorbell, typically color-coded white, black, and green, that are connected to a transformer box in your home. One wire runs to the doorbell button, another wire runs to the door chime, and the third wire runs between the doorbell button and the door chime.

Outlets with only two slots have no ground connection. That’s more common on very old outlets, which means it’s more likely the outlet won’t be polarized. You’ll have to closely examine the slots to see if there’s a size difference indicating polarization. Keep in mind outlets this old are usually out of code and should be replaced if you’re doing any electrical work.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

A 60W LED bulb is likely labeled as “60W replacement” on the package—that’s because it provides about the same light output as a 60W incandescent bulb. In reality, it likely uses less energy—usually 15 watts or less. If that’s the case, then it’s perfectly fine to put a 60W LED bulb in a 40W socket. Your best bet is to read the package carefully. It will tell you the LED bulb’s actual wattage, and as long as it’s lower than the fixture, the bulb will be safe to use.
