Get matched with top electricians in Golden, IL

Q: How does a Christmas lights timer work?

• <div><p>Timers work by using an internal switch to turn power on or off to the cord plugged into it. Just the same way that a light switch turns lights on and off, the timer throws the switch at the programmed times.</p></div>

Q: Is it legal to sell a house with aluminum wiring?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you&rsquo;ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.</p></div>

Q: Do electricians need to be insured or bonded?

• <div><p>Yes. Like other trained specialists, electricians need to be licensed in their state of operation, and carry specific kinds of insurance required by that state, which usually includes general liability insurance and surety bonds. When choosing an electrician, always pay attention to these details, and avoid electricians who can&rsquo;t offer proof. When it comes to wiring, you want experienced, trained pros doing the work.</p></div>

Q: What causes a light switch to stop working?

• <div><p>A light switch can stop working for several reasons. Typical causes include a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, both of which shut off power to the switch. Worn-out or faulty internal switch components can also prevent it from functioning properly. Loose or disconnected wiring within the switch or electrical box is another frequent issue. Additionally, switches may fail due to age, excessive use, or physical damage. In some cases, problems with the light fixture or bulb itself might be mistakenly attributed to the switch. </p></div>

Q: Are under cabinet lights expensive to run?

• <div><p>Under-cabinet lighting is generally energy-efficient, especially when using LED technology. Compared to traditional ceiling lighting or older bulb types like halogen and incandescent, LED under-cabinet lights consume significantly less energy, which helps reduce operating costs. This applies to various forms, including strip lights, puck lights, and built-in fixtures. For an option that uses no electricity, consider battery-operated puck lights. While they require periodic battery replacements, they have the added advantage of functioning during a power outage.</p></div>

"I shopped for lightning protection for years in Jacksonville, calling yellow pages ads to no avail. One guy even talked me OUT of installing lightning rods, even though he was listed in the Yellow Pages under lightning protection. Then my house was struck the next year, blowing a hole through the roof!!! I was so mad! Thankfully I found Lightning Defense through HomeAdvisor, and he is a pro. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and great service! Thanks HomeAdvisor and Lightning Defense. Very happy with everything. Just wish I used you earlier instead of the yellow pages."

"Very professional...both the owner and crew. Careful and meticulous work. Replaced some wood trim that was damaged; moved the heavy furniture...painted a 2-story stairway. Good clean-up each day. And good follow-up on punch list items. Halfway through the project we decided we wanted some additional items painted (powder room and 2 closets...and they fit it into the schedule and the added charge was very reasonable.

What impressed me most was the owner caught some issues that I had missed in punch list items. Increased my confidence in his ability to do a good job. He cares about the quality of his and his crew's work.
