"Shannon came to give us a quote on the job about three weeks ago. He was professional, really listened to our ideas, offered suggestions based on his expertise, and gave us a reasonable quote on the same day with no pushy sales tactics. Joe Schmo Electrical was scheduling work about three weeks out. On our scheduled day, Shannon called us when they were 30 minutes away and arrived at the originally scheduled time. Once again, he and Tony were pleasant and professional. They obviously were experts at their craft, and they worked hard to complete the agreed upon tasks. As they were working, they found some wiring issues in the attic room and fixed them at no extra cost. That says a lot about their integrity and workmanship pride. Even though our house is in a state of renovation, they were careful to protect our kitchen counters and cleaned up before leaving. I never knew I could be so excited about electrical work, but it has made such a difference in the overall aesthetic of our kitchen, living room, and attic bedroom. They look bright, cheery, updated, and even larger. My husband and I agreed that it was worth every penny we spent on this part of our renovation project. We very highly recommend Shannon and Tony with Joe Schmo Electrical Services and will not hesitate to call them again for future electrical needs."

"JR was very courteous and described every detail of the Whole House Safety Maintenance electric program. I purchased a 25yr old home and was unsure of the safety of several remodeled areas. JR checked every detail on a long lilst, tested all wall outlet and switch, GFCI outlets, electric panel, plus many more. I learned a lot. Definitely would recommend JR and Ashpaugh electric company"

"Our electrician, Eduardo, was very knowledgeable and professional. The primary project required installation of a new electrical panel. He also installed a new foyer light. We especially appreciate that Eduardo discovered a potentially serious problem relating to the meter on the exterior of our home, and he was proactive in making certain that the power company addressed the problem immediately. We would definitely hire Mr. Sparky and Eduardo again!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time.

Wiring an outlet can be done safely by someone with the proper knowledge and tools, but it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to do the job for you. That way, you can rest assured that your outlet will be rewired safely and quickly. 

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

Any light bulbs made from toxic materials, such as CFL bulbs and fluorescent light tubes, should not be thrown in the garbage. These bulbs need to be sent to hazardous waste collection sites run by your municipality or sent through a specialized mail-back recycling program. Earth911 allows you to search and find a recycling location near you.
