"After reading reviews, DR Handy Services was my first choice. Del responded quickly to a Friday email request for service, scheduled for the following Tuesday. Had a few minor jobs: install a battery security doorbell, light bulbs in two locations that needed a ladder to reach (I can no longer reach comfortably), and repair 2 non-working light sockets (1 outside, 1 inside). JC and Wily were outstanding, very friendly, and professional. The cost was very reasonable. Will definitely call DR Handy Services for my next repairs. Thank you!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

You can tell if a breaker is GFCI by looking for a red or yellow test and reset button that you can press in and out. You’ll know if an outlet is GFCI if the red reset button is located in between the two pronged sections.

Yes—if a breaker is old or damaged, it might not be able to detect power surges or electrical overload. If that happens, the breaker won’t trip. Instead, it will begin to overheat, putting your electrical system at risk of fire or total electrical failure. Circuit breakers don’t last forever, so you can proactively replace old or damaged breakers before they stop working.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safely used in your home. They have a spring-loaded shutter, which pops closed to internally block the slots when the outlet is not in use, protecting your child from the dangerous electrical current should they insert toys or other objects into one of the slots.

The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.
