"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"

"Dan and his helper were even a little early and were ready to do my job. They were very considerate in laying down cloths to avoid any messes with the insulation and vacuumed all dropped insulation. They were very efficient in doing the job and finished quickly. Their cost for the job was very competitive, and the lowest of 3 quotes. After a final vacuuming and the paperwork I was totally happy with my new porch fan. I would give Aaron's Electric an A+ rating and would highly recommend them for your Electric needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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. 

While you might not need to put lights and outlets on separate circuits, some local codes may require that you use separate circuits. Installing a separate circuit helps prevent total darkness in your home when your receptacle outlets take on too much power and blow a fuse or trip the breaker. It also costs less and is easier to simply install a new circuit.

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

Yes, you can get shocked while using a multimeter if:

  • You touch the metal tip while testing a live current.

  • The meter isn’t properly rated for the voltage.

  • The meter picks up on transient voltage that’s above the range you’ve set.

  • The meter has defective parts.

You can prevent shock and personal injury by using a multimeter properly and maintaining your device. 

If you’re unsure how to use a multimeter or want help with your project, contact a local electrician to get the job done.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years.
