"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!

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

To install an outlet from existing wiring, you’ll need to choose a location where you can already access existing wiring. The easiest way to do this is to install an outlet on the other side of the wall of an existing outlet. 

Since the wiring is already in place, all you have to do is connect a new cable to the existing wiring and then connect the correct wires through the wall—to the new electrical outlet. Place your new outlet into the opening in the wall and then connect the correct wires to the appropriate terminal screws.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches, often due to loose connections, exposed wiring, or overheating, can cause sparking or arcing. If you hear a crackling, popping, or hissing sound when you use the switch, it indicates live electricity arcing inside, which is a significant hazard that can ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, turn off the power to that circuit at the breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

Wiring a light switch wrong can cause a fire if the incorrect wiring causes arcing, meaning the current jumps uncontrolled from one conductor to another. Loose wires or worn wires that are not repaired or replaced can cause arcing. If you’re not 100% sure you can do the job safely, don’t attempt to wire a light switch on your own.
