"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"Darnell from Shiffy Appliance provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was extremely responsive, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and made scheduling everything incredibly easy. When he arrived, he diagnosed and fixed our fridge quickly and efficiently without wasting any time. It’s hard to find service professionals who combine great communication with quality work, but Darnell absolutely delivered on both. Highly recommend Shiffy Appliance and especially Darnell if you need appliance repair done right."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A home electrical inspection usually takes one to two hours. Full home inspections fall on the longer side, while code compliance inspections that focus on a single repair or installation may only take a few minutes. Optional add-ons like infrared inspections can add time, but these aren’t usually included in your standard inspection.

A full home inspection can cost nearly $350 on average, but inspecting the breaker box specifically is likely to be lower, between $100 and $200. Don’t confuse this service with a basic breaker trip check, which doesn’t take long and is usually billed at $40 to $50 per hour.

If the electrician discovers a serious problem and needs to replace a breaker, it can cost between $100 and $200 in additional expenses. Although rare, replacing the electrical panel typically costs between $500 and $2,000.

Modern homes have a lot of devices and appliances running at once. That means there are many different wires and cables throughout the house. Service entrance conductors (also known as service entrance cables or service feed wires) connect the external weatherhead for the utility pole to the circuit breaker box. This is your home’s connection to your local power grid.

Usually, your house panel is one of the key components that must be replaced when upgrading your amp service. In many cases, you will also need to upgrade your meter base as well as other electrical components.

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.
