"I recently had my aging electrical panel upgraded from 100 amps to 200 amps by Electrical Bzzz and its owner, Robert Davtyan, along with his crew. They did a fantastic job! Additionally, Robert helped resolve an issue in my home caused by an electrical circuit break that affected half of the house. His years of experience enabled him to diagnose and fix the problem quickly at no extra charge. One of the key points I want to emphasize is that Robert Davtyan is an honest and hard-working individual. He truly goes above and beyond, even when dealing with strict city ordinances like those enforced in Camarillo. He also matched the stucco paint perfectly, which was a bonus. The inspection passed with flying colors. I highly recommend Electrical Bzzz to anyone in need of an electrical panel upgrade. Their prices are the most competitive in Ventura County! Below are before and after pictures."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. 

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don’t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn’t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.

A 60W LED bulb is likely labeled as “60W replacement” on the package—that’s because it provides about the same light output as a 60W incandescent bulb. In reality, it likely uses less energy—usually 15 watts or less. If that’s the case, then it’s perfectly fine to put a 60W LED bulb in a 40W socket. Your best bet is to read the package carefully. It will tell you the LED bulb’s actual wattage, and as long as it’s lower than the fixture, the bulb will be safe to use.
