"Sean and his team did an excellent job fixing my electrical issue. I had Target Electric address an electrical problem at my Airbnb while guests stayed there. They were in and out promptly, leaving me and my Airbnb guests very happy. I will absolutely use Target Electric again for future projects."

"I can’t say enough good things about Blue Volt Electric, especially Bernardo. After another company stonewalled me and delayed things for over 24 hours, Bernardo showed up and immediately got to work. Within minutes he identified a serious electrical issue that very likely could have burned our house down. Not only did he clearly explain what was happening, but he fixed the problem quickly and made sure everything was set up properly so this would never happen again. Professional, knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and genuinely cared about our safety. Bernardo quite literally saved our home. If you need an electrician you can trust, Blue Volt Electric is the real deal. Highly, highly recommend."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.

The main reason outlets become loose is because the contact points have started to wear down after years of use. Occasionally, poor wiring can cause heat or sparks that can damage the outlet and cause it to become loose. Either way, if your plugs slide out after being inserted into the outlet, it’s time to replace it.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

You should never plug a normal 120v appliance into a special 240v outlet, as it can quickly burn out the appliance. This will cause irreparable damage to the appliance and, in worse case scenarios, cause damage to your circuit breaker. Check your appliance’s rating before plugging it into a 220v outlet to avoid electrical disaster.
