"Jim was there very promptly and spent two days doing the work. He was very thorough and neat and explained how everything worked when completed.  Jim was very personable and friendly and easy to talk with. He called us a few days later to check on us to see that we were happy and asked if we had any questions. He also stuck with his quotes.
Would definitely hire him again for any future electrical work.

"Highly recommend Doug. He was very quick to respond to my email for a quote-came out right away and gave a quote on the spot when others I called before him still havenâ t gotten a quote back to me even over nearly 2 weeks later. Electricians and contractors donâ t return calls these days or pick up the phone and that was a non issue with Doug which I appreciated. Doug came out within a week and installed and vented a new bathroom fan and switch in our older home and was careful not to damage any of our original tile work. He also installed a new outlet and 4 light fixtures. He was very responsive, professional, and reasonably priced. Will use him again in the future if we have any electrical needs and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a master electrician in the Kalamazoo area. Thanks Doug!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Motion sensors are actually an eco-friendly option and don’t use as much electricity compared to other lighting sources. Motion sensor lights are always on “standby,” which requires a phantom source of power at all times, but for most sensor light models, this is only a small amount of electricity—typically around one watt of power.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

Do not touch electrical wires in your home without first turning off the power at your circuit breaker and testing the wire with a voltage meter or multimeter. Electricity still flows through wires even when a light switch is powered off, and touching wires with the switch on can result in electrical shock.
