"This crew really helped me overcome some complicated electrical problems in the last flip I did. I’ve worked with my fair share of electricians and C2V Electric was just so communicative and low-maintenance. Shoutout to Josie for the hookup! Already have them scheduled for my next project"

"Brandon Becker - MURRIETA, CA - Willem was your salesman he was very good. He answered all your solar questions and even the concerns I had. Friendly easy to talk to and did not seem like he was trying to make a quick sale. Tiffany was prompt and kept me informed in every step of the process. Tiffany executed her job very well. Installers showed up when they say they were. Alerted me with a live electricity issue that happened with another company did, so that was really helpful. Judging by the drone shots, I can see the installation was very clean than most of my neighbors. Robert came out on time on a Sunday to help me understand and use my solar system. He was very informative and knowledgeable on explaining the system. Highly recommend this company."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

On average, the cost to wire a new home ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot. The cost to rewire a house is around the same, ranging from $2 to $4 per square foot. Often, though, new wiring comes with lower overall costs since it’s much easier to access a home’s foundation. 

They can vary—a lot. For example, while the EU continues to move toward broader standardization, many different types of outlets still exist from country to country. Some local standards cared about polarization, and some didn’t. It’s similar to other countries around the world.

Generally, you’re less likely to find polarized outlets outside North America. However, alternative plugs and outlets often incorporate precautions so that accidentally touching live prongs on a plug is hard or impossible. You may also find interesting regulations overseas that limit the use of outlets in bathrooms or near sinks to decrease the chance of shock.

It prevents electrical surges, protects your home from things like electrical fires, and prevents you from getting shocked if an errant surge runs through your power line. Without grounded wires, your appliances could also get damaged during lightning storms.

Single-pole light switches are the most common light switches on the market. Their simple features make them easy to install and use. For more powerful applications that require 30 or 40 amps, you may need to use a double-pole switch. Some homeowners may want multi-way switches like three-way or four-way switches to control a light fixture from opposing ends of the room.
