"I was shocked to wake up early one morning to find out my sofa delivery from Walmart was coming one week earlier than expected. Then I found AUGUST POWER SOLUTIONS to come in and save the day. They immediately worked with my schedule. They kept in contact to make sure that the job was finished as soon as possible. Mr. Steven August and his son, Steven Jr. arrived exactly as they said, and even managed to take care of a few other tasks in preparation of bad weather the next day. It is good to know that Angi is an available resource to consult and then provide such a valuable service like AUGUST POWER SOLUTIONS from Jeanette to all of Acadiana. Their work was excellent and efficient. Most of all I know that I can count on their reliability. Now that I have established a working relationship, I will be sure call upon AUGUST POWER SOLUTIONS again in the near future. Tanya Z. Oil Center Lafayette, LA"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

To reset an electric fireplace, first shut the unit off using the control panel or remote control. Make sure the unit is entirely shut down, then unplug it from the power outlet. Wait five to 10 minutes, then plug the fireplace back in and turn it on. This process should reset the electric fireplace. After resetting, make sure to set the thermostat, timer, and other programmable settings to suit your preferences.

No, it’s extremely dangerous to cap off live electrical wires. Working with live wires puts you at serious risk of electric shock, which can cause injury or even be fatal. Whenever you need to cap off electrical wires or complete any electrical work in general, it’s essential to shut the power off at the breaker before you begin.

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.
