"My beautiful new light that I purchased was way too short for my vaulted ceiling. Your crew was on time, worked fast and I was amazed at the finished result. Great crew with a great professional attitude. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them for any electrical work."

"Excellent!! The work was professionally done and exactly what we needed. I would hire Fusion Electric again for future electrical work -- they did an outstanding job! Dilan and Jacob were the electricians who did the work. They were very easy to work with, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Everything they did looks great and works great. An outstanding job from start to finish!"

"Daniel with Mr. Sparky KC completed a big project requiring our home & moving our panel. Daniel was excellent in troubleshooting our unusual electrical system & bringing it up to maximum efficiency & safety. Scheduling for the project fit well into our schedule. Updating our system involved several unexpected complications, but Daniel persisted until each was corrected. I would highly recommend Mr. Sparky& particularly Daniel for your next electrical project."

"I discovered the old knob-and-tube wiring in my house was actually burning, and Austin from VoltPro Electric got to work immediately. He removed all of the knob-and-tube wiring and completed a full rewire in a very clean and well-organized way. The work was done in sections so my child and I could continue living in the house comfortably while everything was being upgraded. Austin kept everything neat and professional and finished the entire job in just one week. The total cost was only $10,000, and VoltPro Electric offered easy financing which made the project affordable for me. The house feels safe again and the work looks excellent. I truly wish I could give VoltPro Electric more than 5 stars. Highly recommend."

"Seth, owner of C & S Electric, did a phenomenal job! The finished work was just neat compared to the 'before' picture. The electric company noted that the work was above & beyond standard and I was elated😊!. I've already recommended C&S Electric to my neighbors and plan to call on Seth for future electrical projects. Thank you "Angi" for the recommendation. The access to work-force was reliable and easy."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To check if doorbell wires are live, use a non-contact voltage tester. Hold the tester near the wires; if it lights up or beeps, the wires are live. Always ensure the power is off at the breaker box before handling any wiring. If you don't have a voltage tester, consider getting one or consulting a professional to ensure safety.

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

To fix a tripped light switch, locate your home's electrical panel and identify the tripped circuit breaker. It will be in the "off" or neutral position. Flip the breaker entirely to the "off" position, then switch it back to the "on" position. If the breaker trips again immediately, there may be a short circuit or overload in the system, requiring further investigation. If the switch still doesn't work after resetting the breaker, check for loose wires or faulty components in the switch itself. It is always best to consult a licensed electrician for persistent issues and when in doubt.

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.
