"We hired ADI Electrical on 2/5/24 to do 5 different electrical jobs on our home, replace a fixture under the cabinet in the kitchen, supply and install floor outlet in the family room, supply and install new outlet for the garage ceiling, remove outlet in an old furnace closet, install new doorbell by move existing doorbell transformer to attic and fish ethernet cable from attic to junction box on side of house. Alvaro gave us a detailed estimate on 1/26 and we like their website which is very thorough and precise in its presentation. Michael the administrator in the office was very helpful in setting up appointments and anything else that was needed. Santo, Alex and Sam Adi came out on 2/6 to do the electrical work and we are extremely pleased with their attentiveness to detail and accomplishing everything that needed to be done. All the areas were cleaned up and everything was left spotless. We are very satisfied with the electrical services, and we highly recommend them."

"Ryan O. was the best. He presented himself professionally, as he review the job, Ryan explained everything with the step by step process of the project. He explained their portion of the work, from the time they get to my place thru the swift approval of the building inspector. He explained what we need and recommended what we don t need to help me save money. He also prep us up for future Solar Panels as well as Electrical Vehicle junction box connection. The connection will make it possible without the need of breaking the walls again, just to add either of the two service. As his workers (Jesse,Hector, George and Miguel) came in early, they were really quiet, knowing that my wife will be asleep from working the previous evening. Their setup was well organized and during the work they kept the area very clean. They also organize/ planned their work inside the house to minimize the disturbance to us. They communicated with radio or cell phones so not to yell to each other. They politely ask if they can come in and explained to us what work need to be done inside the house. Ryan and Samantha (admin) worked closely with us to complete the eDoc invoice proposal making sure the change was in writing and accurate for my Signature. My wife and I are so very please that we highly recommend Electra-Comm for any work that you need. We will definitely hire these guys again. Best decision I ever made. Thank you again guys."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

We highly recommend that you use an electrician to wire a doorbell if you don't have electrical skills. You can tackle this project on your own, but it would be best done alongside a professional to reduce all the safety risks, as working with wires can be dangerous and potentially deadly.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.

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. 

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Yes, you can put a dimmer on a three-way switch, but it can’t be the same kind of dimmer you’d put on a standard light switch. A three-way switch requires a three-way dimmer. If two switches control a single or multiple lights, then you need a three-way dimmer. The type of light bulb should also be compatible with your fixture and dimmer.
