"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"

"Certified Electric LLC is a must for any electrical needs in your home! As soon as I reached out, Brian called and gave us a quote and scheduled a time to install the ceiling fans. Billy came over within a couple days and did a wonderful job! So personable and knowledgeable! We now have a list of things for them to do including adding a new electrical line for our stove! They also support the military and law enforcement! Reasonably priced too, total win! Highly Recommend!"

"William, the owner, his son, as well as another other gentleman and lady on their crew were super courteous and professional from the moment they pulled up to our home! They answered all of our questions and did a superb installation! We have been struck by lightning twice in five weeks and suffered close $15,000 in damages. We simply cannot continue to change our tv’s, a/v equipment and any other electrical component everytime we have a severe thunderstorm-which has been every afternoon for what seems like months. We spoke with other neighbors who’ve already installed lightning rods and none of them have had any other property damage. WB even sunk a third ground rod in because our Lanai screen enclosure had never been grounded. Awesome job, really nice people and hopefully this will do the trick. Bernard B"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Durations range from an hour for simple jobs to full workdays for significant upgrades.

No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.

Yes. Even when it’s not in use, an outlet is still connected to wiring, and if the wiring is faulty or wet, a fire can occur. Broken outlets can also cause fires, for the same reasons; in fact, most broken outlets are broken due to damaged or worn-out wiring. It’s worth replacing outlets that are old or damaged with the help of an electrician.

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.

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.
