"I went on Home Advisor for help contacting an electrician. David from Bay Electric of Northern Michigan LLC contacted me about 2 hours later. David came to my house a couple days later, to go over what my needs were. My project was to upgrade my electric box from fuse panel to breaker box, upgrade electrical service from 60 amp to 100 amp, and install electrical service to a new pole barn. David gave me an estimate which I accepted. David did the whole job including permits, scheduling with Consumers Power, final inspection.etc. David also supplied wire, 2 breaker boxes, and everything needed. Very professional, friendly, and complete service. I highly recommend this company. The job was completed in 1 day. David is coming back in Feb. to connect my generator to whole house service for when power outages occur."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

If you’re someone who likes to tinker around the house and make DIY repairs, a multimeter or voltmeter can be a great tool to have around, especially if you’re comfortable with electrical repairs. That said, if working with electricity feels out of your depth, you don’t need to invest in a multimeter. Reach out to an electrical pro for any electrical work you need done if any part of you is hesitant about a project.

It's possible to get power from an outlet for a light switch. However, you must install additional wiring to get current from the outlet to the switch and from the switch to the load it will control. Also, you must ensure that the outlet's electrical circuit can accommodate the additional demand. 

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.

Grounding is an essential part of installing an electric fence. Without grounding, the electrical circuit will be incomplete. That means the fence won’t work and will fail at delivering shocks upon impact. Even grounding the fence improperly can cause faulty shocks, if any. To ground the fence, you will need to use ground rods, ideally made from copper or galvanized metal, that are at least 4 feet high, for best results.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
