"John was professional and thorough. He returned my interest call promptly and came by the next day to do an estimate on outlets for a bathroom and kitchen appliance. On the day of the job, he spent the time to do the job correctly. In researching his fees, I found him fair and competitive with the local market. I am extremely pleased with the quality workmanship on my project. I would highly recommend Abbott Electric, LLC."

"Updating this Zinsco electrical panel has been our top priority. Our home inspector warned that the outdated brand has become obsolete and creates a great risk to homeowners due to their faulty circuit breakers. This meant that if our circuit was overloaded or short, the breaker wouldn’t trip, and we would be tackling an electrical fire. We are so grateful to Elias Sugui (@certified_electrical_services) for taking on this project with ease. His calm demeanor and obvious expertise settled our nerves. From inquiry to execution, Elias provided exceptional service and professionalism. We’ll be sleeping much better knowing the job was done by him. We highly recommend reaching out to them for any and all of your electrical needs!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A multimeter does not measure frequency, charge, inductance, and other electrical quantities. Instead, it measures voltage (AC and DC), current, and resistance.

In many cases, yes, upgrading your electrical panel can lower your electric bill. Upgrading an outdated electrical panel can make your home more energy-efficient, so you consume less electricity and spend less on utility bills. However, to see these savings, you’ll need to invest quite a bit. On average, installing a new electrical panel costs $1,200 to $2,000, with most people paying around $1,600.

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

Different types of light switches include single-pole switches (the standard switch in your home), double-pole switches, toggle switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, and more. 

A single-pole light switch controls the power to a single device, whereas two-way, three-way, and four-way light switches control lights from different locations, increasing the number of connections in the home.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.
