"Steve and his crew of electricians did a fabulous job. They basically replaced the entire house’s electrical, all new switches and outlets in addition to all the new light fixtures in every room. They showed up on time, did what they said they would and addressed every issue encountered in the rehab. In addition, Steve was great helping me decide what to put where. An overall excellent experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Warner Electric for any electric job."

"Chris did a wonderful job in my project. He installed light fixtures and replaced electrical switches for me. He went over and above, cleaning up a messy wiring situation that he discovered. Chris was professional, had great attention detail and extremely conscious of the work surroundings. He was very kind and considerate. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who needs electrical work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.

If your microwave is on the fritz and you suspect the fuse has blown, you can check it to confirm it’s the source of the problem. Start by disassembling the panel and carefully checking the fuse filament or ceramic components. If your microwave uses a glass fuse, you’ll likely see discoloration and a melted filament. If your microwave contains a ceramic fuse, you’ll need to use a multimeter continuity tester to check if there’s continuity.

You can tell if a breaker is GFCI by looking for a red or yellow test and reset button that you can press in and out. You’ll know if an outlet is GFCI if the red reset button is located in between the two pronged sections.
