"Updated bathroom electrical during remodeling. They came the day after I called them for an estimate for 1 hour of work and completed it immediately. Also gave me an estimate for a household generator. I would hire them again."

"5-Star Review for First Call Appliance Repair I couldn’t be more impressed with my experience at First Call Appliance Repair. If you're looking for top-quality appliances at unbeatable prices, this is the place to go. I was initially hesitant about buying a scratch and dent item, but Derek walked me through everything with transparency and professionalism. Not only were the cosmetic imperfections barely noticeable, but the appliance itself works flawlessly—just like new. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find the perfect fit for my home and budget. What has stood out the most, I had a problem with my washer and Derek had it fixed within 24 hours. Where else can you purchase or have repairs done other than First Call Appliance Repair? Highly recommend First Call Appliance Repair for anyone looking for value, honesty, and excellent service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It is possible to change a light fixture by only flipping the light switch, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Exercising extra caution when working with electricity is always important. Take the extra few minutes at your electrical box to cut the power at the circuit breaker. Once you’ve flipped the circuit breaker and the light switch, use a voltage tester to confirm the power has been turned off.

Yes, but our analogy with the water hose doesn’t really work here. You see, electrical flow isn’t constant: It ebbs and flows like waves, coming in pulses of power. Hertz measures the rate of change in the flow of electricity, or how often it ebbs and flows. For example, 60Hz means that the electrons pulse through wiring 60 times per second. When they are pulsing, they’re in a brief retreat. Almost all United States equipment is rated for 60Hz.

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.

Hawaii is currently rated as the most expensive state for utilities. How much are utilities for a house in Hawaii? With electricity costs in Hawaii totaling nearly 42 cents per kilowatt-hour, residents are paying more to run their households than any other residents. Electricity costs in Hawaii are so high, mostly due to the fact that most of the electricity available to residents is produced using oil that must be shipped in from other places.

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.
