"Had Garner Electric install 2 large deck ceiling fans and 2 electrical outlets at each end of the deck ceiling. Also put in a new outdoor GFI outlet. Garner Electric was extremely prompt responding to my request with reasonable price and professional work. Recommend highly without any reservations and will use again for future electrical work."

"I want to be careful not to sound as if I've been paid to write this! I am a sixty five year old female living in a house built in 1978. I do many things on my own, but when it comes to electrical I'm lost. Pete is a rare find. Someone who completely knows what he is doing and goes the extra mile to make things better. He helped me decide where to install portable A/C in the basement and then put in a new circuit to support the power needs. He also put in another electrical outlet and then before he left he fixed my bathroom fan and got rid of an unused but live outlet in my garden. Great guy. I will never call anyone else for electrical. Pete is a gem."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.

Different types of light switches include single-pole switches (the standard switch in your home), double-pole switches, toggle switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, and more. 

A single-pole light switch controls the power to a single device, whereas two-way, three-way, and four-way light switches control lights from different locations, increasing the number of connections in the home.

Many wire nuts can accommodate three wires of various gauges; you should check the packaging of the nut to confirm you are buying the correct size. In addition, there are screw terminals that accommodate various numbers of wires; these might also be called “terminal blocks,” and exist to connect multiple wires. 

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.
