"Burgin Brothers Electric Inc. was just the electrical company I needed to update my wiring. I recently did a remodel of the back unit of my duplex and Mark helped me with the electrical part of it. Mark and his company were so gracious and helped me out tremendously by also installing a kitchen hood vent and a bathroom exhaust fan. He is also extremely affordable. How I know this is that in the recent past I had an electrician add two circuits to my front unit. That electrician was extremely expensive and did not even complete the work, and other estimates I was given for my back unit were also just as expensive. I strongly advise that if you have Mark and his company come do any work for you, don't let anyone else handle your breaker panel; let him take over. He will clean it up for you. Any new circuits you have installed will be up to code. Mark knows how to analyze your system and will put in the proper safety features. He is remarkable, patient and helped me plan out my system so that it would work efficiently. I am very satisfied with Mark and his work ethic and I highly recommend Burgin Brothers Electric Inc."

"I had a short in an electrical outlet, and needed someone to come and replace all of them in the house. I called tail gunner electric. We realized that I live about an hour and a half away, but he was still willing to come and replace all my plugs the next day. He was very nice, professional. I will use/refer for any electrical work needed from now on."

"I needed a complete redo of my 1970s electrical. He gave me a good estimate. Then I added a bunch of stuff. It was around Christmas too. But they were available and squeezed in my emergency between their other appointments. Minus half a start for a couple unfinished plug plates but really no biggie. My project I'm sure was annoying and Walter Electric was awesome!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To install an outlet from existing wiring, you’ll need to choose a location where you can already access existing wiring. The easiest way to do this is to install an outlet on the other side of the wall of an existing outlet. 

Since the wiring is already in place, all you have to do is connect a new cable to the existing wiring and then connect the correct wires through the wall—to the new electrical outlet. Place your new outlet into the opening in the wall and then connect the correct wires to the appropriate terminal screws.

Often, simply looking at a Christmas light fuse will reveal whether it’s blown or not. Dark staining inside the glass that looks like a burn mark means the fuse has blown. If a burn mark isn’t evident, visually inspect the fuse for an intact filament inside. The fuse is no longer usable if the filament is broken or appears non-existent.  

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

Old electrical systems may have more problems than newer ones. In some cases, like if your home has aluminum wiring, it may be necessary to update your electrical system. You should also update your home’s wiring if it still has knob and tube wiring, which is considered dangerous by modern building standards. If that applies to you, get in touch with an electrical professional near you to obtain a quote.

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.
