"Kenny was the tech performing the electrical work. He arrived when they said he would and was careful not to track the outdoors into the house (put on booties). He was well organized and I did not have any issues tripping over him or his tools. Now for the not so happy part. I had bought the electrical switches and outlets for the job. Four were installed at approx $200. You should be able to install at least three of these in an hour so if Coleman is charging $25 per outlet that seems a little high. (But hey, I grew up when gas was 35 cents a gallon). When I went to clean up downstairs I noticed one of the newly installed ceiling light panels in the suspended ceiling had a **hot** spot along one edge. I lifted a panel next to the light, pressed down and the problem went away. The metal cross brace on the other side of the panel had been bent downwards and inwards causing sideways pressure to bow the panel upwards causing the hot spot. It was by no means a simple job to remove the old fluorescent fixture and replace it with the new led one, however, it would have been nice to be told what happened. Lastly, the boxes that the led light panels came in were left. I had purchased them so Coleman was under no obligation to remove the packaging. Still, I wish they would have offered."

"Above & Beyond is primarily electrical work, but I picked them for some handyman work that needed to be completed quickly. They called, made arrangements and completed all tasks on the same day. Although they are more costly than the average Handyman rate - the customer service, and willingness to meet my needs was worth the charge."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

Wiring can last anywhere from 50 to 70 years, but all kinds of mishaps can occur that reduce the lifespan of your electrical wiring, including severe weather conditions, pests, and even faulty wiring. Keeping a preventative maintenance scheduling and hiring an electrician for an annual electrical inspection will keep your wiring system around for as long as possible.

A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm’s length of the entryway.

Watts and volts represent distinct aspects of a light bulb’s functionality. Volts measure the electrical force that drives the current through the bulb, determining its compatibility with the power source. Watts, on the other hand, quantify the bulb’s power consumption and indicate its brightness level. Higher watts generally mean a brighter bulb.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.
