"I rarely write reviews, but I am feeling thankful today. On the coldest Saturday evening so far, my main breaker had blown, and it was supposed to be even colder the next day. I called and left a message, and not too much later Alex contacted me back, willing to come help me out on such short notice. He and his son were very professional and a pleasure to meet. It was a very quick job at an honest price. We were truly blessed that they drove an hour to help us in a time of need. We’ve found ourselves a new electrician for sure. Thank you again, Matt"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes. You should always turn off the power to the work area before beginning, use a voltage tester to ensure it’s off, and wear protective gear, such as insulated gloves or safety glasses, to prevent risk of injury. Proper wiring and grounding techniques are also necessary to make sure the job is done right the first time and won’t harm any future homeowners. 

The safest way to pull an electrical cord from the wall outlet is by gently but firmly grabbing the plug and pulling it out. Pulling on the cord instead of the plug can cause damage to the cord, leading to an increased risk of electrical problems like fire or electric shock. If you notice damaged wiring on an appliance or device, it’s best to stop using it immediately.

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

An outlet that has the neutral and hot wires switched, or reverse polarity, presents a shock hazard because anything plugged into it will be electrified whether or not it is on. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, like the metal parts on a toaster, while it’s plugged in, you can be shocked.

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.
