"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."

"I understand nothing about electricity, but inside of 10 minutes he had explained what was wrong, and why it was happening. He calmed my fears that my house was about to burn up, and told me what he would do to fix my problem, when he could do it, and how much it would cost. Fixed it same day, at a price I could live with, and I highly recommend."

"The entire team at Ilum Solar, were outstanding in every way. We could not have been more pleased. They were very professional, honest, thorough, competent, arrived on time, the workmanship was excellent, and made the process a pleasure, from getting necessary permits, through receiving county approval. The original quote was spot on, they used high quality products and the results were excellent. We referred them to other customers, and they have been very pleased and continue to thank us. We are not ones to give out glowing reviews easily, but when you find a company that is honest, thorough, genuinely cares about their customers, and checks off all the boxes, you are very fortunate. Ilum is one of those companies! Thank you Ben, Rob, and team!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before hiring an electrician, check out the contractor’s official website, read reviews, and look them up on your local Department of Labor’s website. If you’re hiring for a complex job, pay special attention to their level of expertise. Also, call up pros directly to ask about their insurance status, specifically liability insurance, and request customer references.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

A circuit breaker flipping off when it detects an overloaded circuit isn’t a problem, but flipping the switch frequently can damage it and eventually cause an electrical hazard. If you’re going on a long vacation or leaving your home for the season, you should avoid turning off your circuit breaker to prevent electrical damage to your system.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.
