"I hired him through Angie's list. Was hesitant to use this service, but happy I did! Was easy to schedule an appointment with, called me back and we set up a time and day. Gave me both a show up fee and hourly rate over the phone. Very up front about hourly rate and let me know giving an estimate over the phone cant be done without looking at the project first. He still gave me a round about figure over the phone after listening to me. Had 2 light fixtures installed into an existing switch( I provided the fixtures, he supplied other materials such as romex ) Wiring in the attic was all in conduit he had to cut into to install a junction box. Job was done quickly and I was shocked how low the bill was when the job was completed. Very impressed with how everything turned out. Based on having hired other electrical contractors to do work on our condo association property in the past. I would not hesitate to hire him again for my home or association property based on cost and honesty. I would also not hesitate to use Angie's list. Just really a great experience all around!"

"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

Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. 

If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. 

There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.

If your fan is ceiling-mounted and will vent through the attic to the outside, you will need an electrician to handle the wiring, and if you need to install ductwork for the first time or replace existing ductwork, you will need an HVAC professional as well.

Three-way switches are only replaceable with three-way switches. A single-pole switch won't work if you replace one or more of a pair of three-way switches. By electrical code, three-way switch configurations are necessary at the top and bottom of a staircase between residential floors.

A two-way switch is also called a single-pole or single-throw switch. These switches only have an on-and-off function and only control a single light or series of lights wired together. A three-way switch has no “on” or "off” position and works with a second switch in the circuit to control a single light or light series from two locations.
