"Gabriel gave me what I considered a fair bid for replacing our deck using Trex decking materials. He and his crew were very careful in their work not to damage other landscaping in the area in which they were working. They carefully measured and cut so that the finished product looked very professionally done. They helped in providing all the materials information so that I was able to submit a warranty request to Trex as a residential customer to get the maximum, transferable warranty from Trex for all the materials that came from them. Their final cost was exactly what Gabriel had bid. I will definitely use this contractor for other work at my home."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.

Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.

Yes, you can put a dimmer on a three-way switch, but it can’t be the same kind of dimmer you’d put on a standard light switch. A three-way switch requires a three-way dimmer. If two switches control a single or multiple lights, then you need a three-way dimmer. The type of light bulb should also be compatible with your fixture and dimmer.

If the box the outlet is running to is already grounded, a professional's work is pretty straightforward. A pro might charge up to $35 per outlet than needs to be replaced.

Electricians typically charge $50 to $100 per hour for labor. The cost to install a new electrical outlet in your home ranges from $130 to $300.

Most ceiling light fixtures only have a black, white, and green wire, but in some cases, you’ll also find a red wire in the box. This is a second hot wire, like the black wire, and is included for ceiling light kits that have a fan.
