"Power Up Electric did outstanding work rewiring my whole house after an unfortunate electrical fire in my garage five years ago. They were very efficient, neat, and took real pride in the quality of their work. For the last five years they have been my go to electrical company. Telephone response is prompt, service is offered quickly, prices are fair and every electrician who has come to my home as been reliable. When friends and family need to have electrical work done, I always recommend Power Up Electric."

"Tony did such a great job!! I had him install 4 outdoor electrical plugs and a outdoor light. He was very knowledgable about putting it on it's own circuit so it didn't mess up any other electrical items. His craftsmanship was excellent and was very professional. He's my new electrical guy!"

"The electricians took care of everything and did so in a professional manner- and were fast! I would definitely recommend and would use EL Electric again. I felt the price was pretty reasonable. I got a 10% discount because of my Angie's list membership."

"Mr. Johnson and his crew have performed a fewjobs from lighting installations, to doorbell repair, to rewiring. Every job has been done well and at a reasonable price. The workers were respectful and very helpful at explaining the work they did before they left. What really set this outfit apart is Mr. Johnson himself. He always returns calls, his crews show up on time and perform the work expediently. On top of this, when I have had questions about other electrical concerns, Mr. Johnson takes time to have a phone call to consult on the issue. Mr. Johnson and his company are of high integrity and I would highly recommend them for any residential electric work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A correctly installed 3-way switch will not trip a breaker. If using a 3-way switch trips your circuit breaker, the ground wire might be touching something it should not be, there could be a short in the wiring, a wire could be loose, or the wrong wires are connected to the wrong locations on the switch. If you cannot easily see the problem, such as a loose wire, contact an electrician to fix the issue.

It depends on where you live. Some cities may require a permit for electrical work, while others don’t. You’ll need to call your city’s building department to determine if you’ll need to apply for a permit or not. If a permit is required, you’ll likely have to pay a fee for it. 

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

First, check the current electrical code in your area to ensure spaces you’re considering meet the requirements. After that, your outlet’s location is up to you. If you’re moving it to hide wiring, you may want to move it in a spot that will also be hidden from view, such as behind a media center or table. As long as you meet the spacing guidelines set by electrical codes, you should be able to pick any spot in your home for an outlet.
