"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."

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."

"Nate at Anchor Electric Motor is knowledgeable, polite, and quick to answer service calls. It is clear Anchor is in business to help people and not just make money.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

A C-wire is typically blue, but don’t rely on colors to find which wire is which when it comes to thermostat wires. The C-wire may also be black, brown, or purple. Instead, if you’re looking for the C-wire, look at the thermostat panel for a wire connecting to “terminal C,” or call in a pro to help you look for a C-wire.

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.

You can identify Federal Pacific Stab-Lok® breakers by the label on the front of the panel that says “Federal Pacific” or “FPE” and the breaker itself should say “Stab-Lok®” either on the face of the panel or a label inside the panel door. The Stab-Lok® breakers are also usually red on the breaker switch.

Yes, states and local governments can have additional building codes that address kitchen outlets. In most cases, these kitchen outlet codes simply refer to the NEC. However, states or local municipalities can have separate requirements for electrician licensing, such as requiring a permit to make big changes, and other details.
