"There is not enough space to write the praises for James Fleming Electrical Contractor, LLC. and his fantastic team; especially Josh Smith. His answering service team is also amazing!!! Jim was the first one to immediately respond to my inquiry on this site. From our first text to our meeting and projected estimate viewing, he was outstanding. Jim not only is a honest tradesman, he is an amazing educator; he explained the why and how for everything. When it was time to get the work completed, I was once again pleased to find his team member, electrician Josh Smith was equally wonderful. Josh has the patience and the knowledge to complete the work to the exact specifications and educated me on the new state standards, the most cost-efficient choices. and about electricity in general!!! As a woman who owns multi homes in this region it was quite comforting working with an electrician that fully understood the needs of my home, my budget and was honest; I completely trust Jim and Josh, I cannot wait to have them start on my next project. THANK YOU AGAIN JIM AND JOSH!!!"

"It only took Nick a half of a day to upgrade my whole panel and circuit breakers. He asked multiple questions on what I really needed and made suggestions on how to save a few bucks by not buying heavy duty equipment that wasn’t needed for my application. Take his business cards and hand them out. you and your friends and family will be very happy with his attention to detail and quality of work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.

While washers and dryers do not require a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet to function properly, electrical codes often mandate their use for safety. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCI protection for all outlets within six feet of a water source. This means a washer and dryer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet if they are installed in locations like a laundry room, utility room, garage, or basement. In other areas without a nearby water source, there is no specific requirement, but using a GFCI outlet is still recommended for extra peace of mind. It is always best to consult your local codes and regulations to ensure compliance and safety.

A sudden tiny spark is normal when first plugging in an appliance. However, if your plug regularly sparks, has other concerning problems, or worries you for any reason, you should call a licensed electrician to have it inspected and ensure that it is not at risk of causing an electrical fire.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

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.
