"Jeremy and Joe from Nichols Electric were amazing. They came out the same day, designed and installed lighting and outlets for my garage and exterior. They even came back and moved some outlets for me in my new house. They were extremely pleasant to work with and helped me understand every step of the process. I'm definitely going to use them again on my next project."

"I'm thrilled with the recessed lighting and smart switch installation Amano Electric completed in my home. They flawlessly achieved the clean, modern "smart house" aesthetic I've always envisioned. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous, and the smart features function perfectly, significantly enhancing the overall vibe of the space. From start to finish, the Amano Electric team was on time, professional, and highly informative, taking the time to explain every aspect of the installation. Their commitment to detail and ensuring my satisfaction was evident throughout the process. I am extremely impressed with their craftsmanship and enthusiastically recommend them for any home modernization project."

"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

Wire color codes vary depending on the region. For instance, the United Kingdom has updated its wiring codes to match Europe's color system. The United States wiring color code is different, as is Australia's. Because the color code system isn’t universal, it’s essential to hire an experienced electrician to perform any electrical work to ensure it is done correctly.

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

A wire stripping tool is the easiest way to strip sheathing or plastic insulation from electrical wires. A self-adjusting wire stripper cuts and removes the sheathing without damaging the core wire.

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.
