"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 can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

The copper wire used in knob and tube wiring systems can last up to 100 years. However, it’s considered a dangerous and outdated wiring method because the cloth, fabric, or rubber insulation sheathing can become brittle and fall apart. Knob and tube wiring systems should be inspected if you’re considering buying a home with this type of wiring, or if you have problems with frequently tripping breakers, a sign that you may need to replace them.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.

To ensure batteries stop charging when they’re full, you’ll need to install a charge controller that determines when the battery is full. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge controller will stop the energy flow or divert the energy to the grid or other appliances. Without a charge controller, the battery may continue to charge, which can lead to less productivity and potential damage.

If you’re wondering whether an electrical panel in the bathroom needs to be moved, the answer is yes. Due to the risks of shocks and electrical fires, electrical panels cannot be located in bathrooms per National Electric Code Volume 70. Additionally, gasses, vapors, liquids, and temperature fluctuations can all compromise the functionality of your electrical panel, so it’s important to install it in a dry, cool, safe, and easily accessible location.
