"It took two visits to resolve the issues and complete the installation. Byron returned calls promptly, was on-time, courteous and professional. The work was done well and area cleaned up at the end of the work.  I would highly recommend him for any electrical work you need inside or outside your home or business.

"I feel *extremely lucky* to have found a Kranick Electric to upgrade the electrical service at my home, and to replace my dangerous and old Zinsco panels with safe panels that were up to code. See my two photos below for the "before and after" pictures. I received a very reasonable estimate, so I knew how much it was going cost right from the beginning. He showed up when he said he would, and completed the work ahead of schedule. He even hung a light fixture for me in my dining room while he was here. (Thank you!!) Daniel is most personable and professional you will ever meet. I highly recommend Daniel and Kranick Electric for any electrical work, big or small. I've been very happy with his work and will gladly have him back for anything electrical. Laurie Grass Valley"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No. Blue wires and black wires are different. Even though both are used as hot wires, they serve different functions. Black wires are far more common in residential properties. They are always hot, can be positive or negative, and usually carry electricity from a power source to an outlet. Blue wires have a specialized usage in residential properties, generally as traveler wires, and are more common in commercial properties.

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.

Buying a house with aluminum wiring requires careful consideration due to potential fire risks. Ensure a thorough inspection by a licensed electrician to assess the condition and identify necessary safety upgrades—factor in these additional costs when deciding. While it may not be a total deal-breaker, understanding the risks and required maintenance is necessary. Also, you should consult your insurer about coverage for homes with aluminum wiring to know whether the house is insurable.

Electrical fixes are best handled by a licensed electrician, but it’s possible to release a wire connection on your own. Be sure to always turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker before beginning your project to avoid electric shock. Carefully insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the rectangular hole beneath the wire. Hold the outlet in the palm of your other hand. Pull out the wire as you apply pressure with the screwdriver.

Doorbell wires typically won't spark because they carry low voltage. However, if there's a short circuit or damaged wiring, sparking could occur. Always turn off the power at the breaker box before working with doorbell wires to prevent any risk. If you notice any sparking, it's a sign of a problem that a professional electrician should address.
