"Job: install fan and switch for it in spot with no electrical box yet. 1 hr 56 min arrival to departure. Pros: Called me the next day after reaching out through Angie. Friendly to talk to during booking and while working at the house. The work went well nstalling the ceiling fan and a switch for it where one wasn't. Cons: Never quoted job (figured it couldn't be that bad for a fan install so didn't ask - big mistake) and appointment was a month out for 7:30am on a Friday. Informed them I worked nights at the time of booking. They text me at 6am that day to inform they'd ould be late and arrived at 9:46a (I'm 25 hrs awake at the point they arrive). Invoice for $737 comes across. Inquired about the $300 for labor for one and $375 for labor for the other and was told "We usually charge round trip, and I only charged you one way. And there was no existing switch or fan location,if it was as simple as just changing a fan out there would have only been one". Double labor charge unfair."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, a faulty or broken light switch can be a serious fire hazard. Malfunctioning switches often result from loose wiring, exposed connections, or other electrical problems that can cause overheating or sparking. Warning signs include crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when you flip the switch, which indicates live electricity that could ignite nearby flammable materials. If you suspect your light switch is faulty, immediately turn off the power at the circuit breaker and contact a qualified electrician to remedy the issue.

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. 

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

A correctly installed 3-way switch will not trip a breaker. If using a 3-way switch trips your circuit breaker, the ground wire might be touching something it should not be, there could be a short in the wiring, a wire could be loose, or the wrong wires are connected to the wrong locations on the switch. If you cannot easily see the problem, such as a loose wire, contact an electrician to fix the issue.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.
