He was prompt on time and his team was amazing. They answered all my questions and finish the job in a timely manner. Much better than expected. I would definitely recommend using them for any of your electrical needs. Thanks max"

"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!"

"B and C Electrical were awesome! Super professional and really friendly. They showed up right on time, made sure everything was cost-effective, and actually fixed the problems we’d been having with our electrical panel for years. They did a much better job than others who came out before, and now everything works the way it’s supposed to. Couldn’t be happier with their work — I highly recommend them!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you find the power cables for your appliances are too short, there are ways to extend them for the cost of just the extra wiring you need. Simply cut and strip your wires, solder them together, and cover them using heat shrink tubing. Not everyone has a soldering tool on hand, so if you’re looking to extend in a pinch, an extension cord, power bar, or surge protector can do the job just fine.

Many homes have a 200-amp service, which requires a 2-inch electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For 400-amp service, opt for a 4-inch electrical meter riser.

The hot wire is typically black, but it's essential to use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm the electrical wire color code before working on it. Neutral wires are typically white. It’s vital to determine which wire is carrying electrical current before proceeding with any electrical work.

Be careful not to drop your voltmeter or multimeter. Even a small fall can affect the tool’s ability to measure with accuracy. Always store your tools in their cases in a cool, dark place. Also, avoid touching the probes to each other while they’re connected to a circuit or another electrical component, and never tamper with anything inside the device.

Wiring an outlet can be done safely by someone with the proper knowledge and tools, but it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to do the job for you. That way, you can rest assured that your outlet will be rewired safely and quickly.
