"Called at 11:30 a.m. and Chris was here by about 12:10 p.m.  Figured out the problem within about 15 minutes.  A switch on our older receiver just needed to be set on another setting.  I asked if he wanted payment now or will he send a bill.  Chris called the boss and the boss said not to charge anything since no parts were needed and it took chris such a short time to figure it out.  I was not even charged for a service call!  He just asked that we spread the word about the company!  You just do not see anything like this very often anymore.  Chris gave me some business cards and I will for sure pass them out to friends and spread the word.
How refreshing it is that a business like this still exists.  I would highly recommend this company and will call them again the next time I need something and will be willing to pay whatever they charge as I know it will be a fair price.
I realize that I just happened t call at a good time and that no company can come out so fast and I realize that most of the time it will cost something.  But they could have easily charged at least a service call and they did not.  This is a sign of a truly outstanding company.  Please use them, they are outstanding!

"The first thing that happened was for Ryan and Julie from Cabinet Clad to visit our house and get an ideal of our remodeling needs.  They would work with us on cabinet style, stain color, style of door knobs, hardwood floors, etc.  We would then sit down with them at their office to finalize the contract and negotiate a price.  The project would start in approximately 5 weeks. 
Cabinet Clad gave me a copy of a project schedule so I knew exactly what was going on.  If changes were being made to the schedule they informed me of the change. The gutting of the kitchen and living room took about 2 days.  They removed everything and hauled off everything.  They removed the soffits in the kitchen and reframed the walls and sheet rocked the walls.  The electrician roughed in the changes needed and the sheet rock personnel got started.  It took longer to mud the sheet rock then projected (about 1 1/2 weeks) however the weather had some reason for the delay.  We picked out the granite at a company in Independence along with the assistance of Julie (their designer). The granite personnel installed the granite in less than one day.  Julie also help us pick out the style of facing needed on the fireplace.  She was very helpful in giving us an ideal of what we needed in design, style and color.   The project was completed pretty much on schedule (about 6 weeks). 
The cabinets were made in Abilene, KS and were excellent quality.  The cabinet personnel did an excellent job installing.  The backsplash tile person and the plumber all did very good work.  The electrician was outstanding adjusting and establishing the lighting and electrical needs of the kitchen and living room.  The sheet rock personnel did an acceptable job, however it took longer than expected to mud the rooms.  Chip (the project manager) was excellent in keeping us on schedule, coordinating all the sub contractors and responding to our changes.   Cabinet Clad completed the remodeling project beyond our expectations.  We love it very much.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Smart meters send the readings over a wireless wide area network (WAN) to the power company. This network allows sending small amounts of data slowly over long distances, which is perfect for smart meter readings that occur monthly. If you would prefer a smart meter, contact your power company and consider springing for the cost of replacing your electric meter.

You can have power but no lights if the light switch is damaged. A damaged light switch is often caused by regular wear and tear or loose wires. In addition, simple problems such as a burnt-out light bulb or an unplugged lamp could be the cause of not having working lights.

Electrical meter risers connect your home’s electrical meter to overhead power lines so you can receive electrical service from the grid. Electrical meters also have a weatherhead, which protects the utility lines connected to your home’s electrical system via the service entrance cable. Risers connect the weatherhead to your electrical meter socket, which connects to the meter.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

The doorbell installation cost depends on which and how many parts you need to replace. A new transformer is the least expensive replacement and falls between $20 and $35, plus the cost of hiring an electrician to install it, which can be between $150 and $250. Replacing your entire doorbell system can cost $250 to $400.
