"We had lightning rods installed at our home after having 2 previous lightning strikes. The first strike was minor, with only slight damage in the yard. The second was significant when a very large pine tree was hit close to our house causing various electrical issues in the home -- despite having a whole home surge protection system. Just months after having the lightning rods installed, lightning struck an even larger pine tree in our small back yard, Thankfully, the lightning rods saved us! It was a huge strike, and we had no damage at all in the house. These lightning rods were potentially life-saving."

"Great install/product (so far—brand new unit): However, before Blizzard Jan 2025 heard Optimize electrical panel door rattling/“clanking” when I was outside wrapping pipes before blizzard—asked Optimize to check panel door to ensure it’s flush/secure so snow & ice cannot penetrate their electrical box since NEW. Optimize came to check & said there is nothing they can do with loose/rattling panel door, “not to worry”, that no moisture can get to wiring….?? Door is so loose, you barely press the door & it sinks in/a LOT of play. Tech said they have to “allow some air to get inside box”?? Optimize CHARGED me $150.00 to check loose electrical panel door & did not tighten door.. (DEMCO’s generator panel door, installed by Optimize’s electrical panel, is tight/no banging….??). There would be no banging if Optimize panel door was not loose! Once Generator is installed, you have to pay $150.00 for Optimize to come out to check anything you are concerned about with new Unit, post install."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

Yes, hot outlets can cause a fire. When an outlet becomes hot, it means there’s an electrical problem, such as an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or a faulty component. The heat generated by these issues can cause the outlet to catch fire, especially if it’s near flammable materials such as curtains, furniture, or paper. If you notice that an outlet is hot to the touch, turn off the power to the circuit, unplug any devices connected to it, and consult a qualified electrician for next steps.

If you find yourself flicking the switch multiple times before your light comes on or if it slides down after you flip it on, these could be signs the switch is bad. Similarly, if the switch is making a crackling, buzzing, or popping sound when you flip it, you should consider replacing it. 

Sometimes, a bad light switch can present a fire or shock hazard. If the switch feels hot, sparks, smells like it’s burning, or is smoking, stop using it immediately and call an electrician.

No, it’s not normal. When an outlet is hot, something is wrong. Our tips above may help you pinpoint the problem, but when in doubt, always bring in a qualified electrician to deal with the issue. 

A C-wire connects your thermostat to your household heating and cooling system to provide full-time 24V power to the thermostat. The wire connects to the terminals labeled C in the furnace and thermostat in most configurations. However, in some cases, you can bypass the fan-only function and connect the C-wire to the G terminal at the furnace.
