"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

"Mike did an outstanding job. He showed up 15 early and got the project done in record time. I had 3 ceiling fans install. one ceiling was 20ft high. His final price actually came in under estimated price. All work was clean, neat and professional. I highly recommend him and will use him in the future."

"Alton did an excellent job upgrading the electrical system in my condo. The unit previously had an outdated fuse-based electrical system, and he upgraded it to a modern electrical system that is much better suited for today’s needs. He was professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and efficient throughout the entire process. He took the time to make sure everything was completed properly and explained the work clearly. This was a major upgrade for my condo, and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of his work. I highly recommend Alton and Power House Electric for anyone needing electrical upgrades or improvements. Five stars!"

If you’re someone who likes to tinker around the house and make DIY repairs, a multimeter or voltmeter can be a great tool to have around, especially if you’re comfortable with electrical repairs. That said, if working with electricity feels out of your depth, you don’t need to invest in a multimeter. Reach out to an electrical pro for any electrical work you need done if any part of you is hesitant about a project.

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it’s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need  professional opinion.

That depends on your setup. If a circuit breaker already has GFCI protection, then everything connected to that specific circuit is being monitored. You don’t need additional GFCI outlets on that breaker.

However, if the breaker is not GFCI, then you should have GFCI receptacles for at-risk outlets nearby water sources, because they are not receiving protection. Breakers in a breaker box can vary between GFCI and non-GFCI. Look for GFCI labels on the breaker or try to find the breaker model number to look it up if you aren’t sure.
