"George Poulo runs an extraordinary electrical company. He actually returns calls, keeps appointments, finishes work on time. Poulo was hundreds of dollars less than the next lowest quote. This was no small job, it involved a complete upgrade to breakers from fuses, and 200 Amps service. I was highly satisfied and would recommend."

"We couldn't have asked for prompter, more courteous, or more expert service. Chris correctly diagnosed and solved all our problems. He wasted no time, charged what we thought was a very fair price, and left us wishing all our experiences with service providers could go this smoothly. Next time we have an electric issue we'll definitely call Paciorek."

"I recently had my electrical panel upgraded, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience. From the first conversation to the final inspection, everything was handled professionally and with care. As a homeowner, it's important to me to know the job is being done right, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood what was being done and why. The work was clean, organized, and completed when he said it would be. It's not often you find someone who is reliable, shows up when they say they will, and takes real pride in their work. The new panel looks great, and it's a huge relief knowing my home's electrical system is now updated and safe. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing electrical work done. Great guy, honest, knowledgeable, and someone I wouldn't hesitate to call again for future projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

With AC wiring, which is the kind most likely you’ll find at home, the black wire is “hot,” and the white is “neutral.” The bare or green wire is considered the safety ground wire. If you encounter DC wiring, it’s relatively easy to tell positive or negative wires apart. red wires are used to indicate positive voltage and black wires indicate negative voltage.

For most applications, you won’t need a neutral for 240V. There are certain codes and regulations that differ between areas so just because you technically may not need one in order for the device to function properly, it may still be a local requirement. Professionals in your area know the requirements, which is just another reason to hire one instead of taking on a project that is frankly not very DIY-friendly.

Both can and canless lights have distinct advantages, and the better option depends on your specific needs and preferences. Canless lights are often preferred for modern homes due to their slim, low-profile design, energy efficiency, and ability to fit in tight spaces with less ceiling depth required. Can lights, or traditional recessed lights, provide a classic look and may be better for high ceilings or areas that need stronger, more focused light. While they can be durable, they typically require more ceiling space and installation work. Ultimately, you should choose canless lights for a modern look and energy savings, or opt for can lights for a traditional aesthetic and robust lighting in larger spaces.

Yes, you can use a dimmer switch with an LED fixture, but it must be a dimmer that is compatible with LEDs. Check the manufacturer’s information to ensure the dimmer works with LEDs, as not all dimmers are compatible with them. Many smart light switches accept LEDs, but be sure to read the details on the packaging.

If you connect the wrong electrical wires together, it can lead to a very dangerous electrical shock. All wires should be matched with wires of the same color. It’s very important to consult an electrician if you’re unsure about how to wire your fixture.
