"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 The unit previously had an outdated fuse-based electrical system, and he upgraded it to a modern electrical system that is much better suited for today’s needs.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!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

GFCI outlets help prevent dangers from ground faults that can cause shocks. This is a different issue that a ground circuit can’t fully address. It’s best to use GFCI outlets combined with ground circuits for complete protection for you and your electronics.

With AC wiring, which is the kind most likely you’ll find at home, the black wire is “hot,” and the white is “neutral.” The bare or green wire is considered the safety ground wire. If you encounter DC wiring, it’s relatively easy to tell positive or negative wires apart. red wires are used to indicate positive voltage and black wires indicate negative voltage.

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.

To avoid drilling into wire, you will need to trace your home's wiring using a stud finder, wire detector, circuit tracer, or voltage finder. Since locating wires in your home can be difficult for some homeowners, hire a professional electrician with the experience and knowledge needed to safely handle electrical systems before drilling into any walls in your home.

Yes, many remodels include electrical upgrades for lighting, outlets, or charging stations. Confirm with your contractor.
