"Alex with Just Rite Electric came to my home because I needed a 240 V outlet ran and installed. Before he came I had a different electrician come and quote me. The first electrician was willing to do the job but failed to be honest about the danger due to the FPE Stab-Lok breaker I had. I decided to contact Just Rite Electric for a second opinion mainly to see the price difference. When Alex from Just Rite Electric came and saw the FPE Stab-Lok breaker I had in my home, he was 100% honest about the danger these could cause. He said he would not install what I needed because he was not willing to put my family and home in danger. He provided me with links that gave me information about how many fires, deaths and property damage these can cause. I was thankful for this information because I believe we all underestimate the fire hazards we may have in our homes. He was also personable, professional, informative and respectful. He definitely knows what he’s talking about. Just Rite Electric will be the first company I will refer if anyone ever asks for a referral."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Compared to amps, volts, and watts, ohms are a different kind of measurement, though also very common. Ohms show the resistance of materials like wiring: How much they impede the flow of electrons. The reason household wiring is usually copper or aluminum is that these materials are affordable and also have lower ohms, which means low resistance/high conductivity.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

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.

Replacing the panel itself takes four to eight hours of work by a professional. However, if associated wiring and related components also require replacement, the labor time increases to 20 to 30 hours. Your electrician can speed up the process by bringing in a team of pros to handle ancillary tasks.

Watts and volts represent distinct aspects of a light bulb’s functionality. Volts measure the electrical force that drives the current through the bulb, determining its compatibility with the power source. Watts, on the other hand, quantify the bulb’s power consumption and indicate its brightness level. Higher watts generally mean a brighter bulb.
