"I was up against a deadline to have my electrical panel and wiring updated. Andrew responded quickly and completed the job professionally in record time! If he didn't have to wait for the City to come out to complete something on the utility pole, his timing would have even been even more spectacular and extraordinary. Superior!"

"I really loved working with Power Forward. We needed a 50A external connector and interlock fitted for a portable generator, a new floodlight and a smart doorbell wired up. Ian Stewart responded immediately to my request for a quote and was very helpful going over my options and discussing generators at length to ensure I was going to be set up right and I was able to get a fair and detailed quote very quickly. After accepting online, Morgan was very helpful setting up the appointment and Chris Woosley, who was the technician that came around to install everything, was also very knowledgeable, enthusiastically answered all my questions and worked diligently and neatly. Everything was clean and neat after he'd finished. With excellent communication, extremely detailed quote, friendly employees and easy one click online pay options after the job was complete, I was extremely impressed at how slick each part of the process was and the service that I received. Thanks so much! Power Forward are definitely our go-to electricians from now on."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.

Yes, it’s safe to strip a wire if you follow the proper safety precautions. First and foremost, you must always disconnect the power and never try stripping a live wire. Using wire strippers is another safety precaution, but don’t forget to keep your fingers away from the blade. It’s also critical you only remove the insulation and not accidentally cut into the conductor, which is unlikely as long as you’re using the right-sized wire stripper.

Full home electrical inspections are mandatory if you’re buying a new home, but if you’re just looking for a safety checkup, you have some flexibility. If you don’t have any concerns and your property is relatively new, a basic inspection is usually sufficient. If it’s been a long time since your home was last inspected, or it’s an older home, a full home inspection can help catch any concerns that may fly under the radar.
