"My husband with Alzheimer’s can usually change a light switch but while doing the one in the bathroom couldn’t get it. I put an urgent message on Angie’s list and Terry from Zap electric gave me a call in a few minutes. He came and fixed the switch in 20 minutes. He was knowledgeable and so nice. He gave us a senior discount. A bathroom light is a must and he saved me that day. Please call him of you need any electrical!"

"I had an excellent experience with Austin — he called me within 10 minutes of submitting my request on Angi’s List. He arrived at my home within half an hour and got straight to work converting an old cable outlet into a new electrical outlet in my living room. The job was done quickly, cleanly, and exactly as requested. I also asked him to rewire my current outlet so it wouldn’t be controlled by a wall switch, and he handled that with no problem. He was prompt, professional, friendly, and genuinely happy to help — highly recommend!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A weatherhead, the meter base, the breaker box, and a meter panel are all vital components of a working meter riser. If one part of the system is faulty, it could damage other parts, so consider having an electrician inspect the entire unit. The cost to replace the meter panel alone may cost $500 to $1,000, so consider this in your budget for replacing the meter riser.

Smart light switches are designed to work with most traditional light fixtures and wiring. However, there are several compatibility factors to consider. Some smart switches require a neutral wire to function, which may not be present in older homes (typically built before 1985). If you plan to use a dimming feature, ensure your LED bulbs are specifically the dimmable type. Additionally, a stable Wi-Fi connection is necessary for remote control, though some models may use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible smart home hub.

Knowing if and when your circuit breaker is failing or faulty can prevent costly damage. If you notice any of the following signs, call a local electrician to help. 

  • The breaker frequently trips

  • The breaker doesn't stay in the 'on' position or reset properly

  • You hear buzzing or humming noises coming from the breaker

  • There's discoloration around the breaker switch

  • There's a burning smell or visible signs of damage on the breaker

If your breaker box won’t reset, stay on, trips when overloaded, or gets seriously damaged, you will need to replace the breakers or possibly the entire panel. A damaged breaker can lead to a fire, so it’s best to err on the safe side and look into replacement. Hire a professional electrician to replace a breaker box to ensure your personal and property safety.

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.
