How can I detect if my electrical panel is overloaded?

• <div><p>There are several indications of an overloaded electrical panel, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/electricians-explain-why-circuit-breakers-trip.htm">frequent circuit breaker tripping</a>, burn marks, or flickering or dimming lights.</p><p>If you’re observing any warning signs, turn the circuit breaker off, then shift some devices from the overloaded circuit to a different one. If there are still signs of overload after turning the circuit break back on, contact a professional electrician to help you fix the issue.</p></div>

What color is the C-wire?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How can you add an electrical outlet from an existing outlet outside?

• <div><p>You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.</p></div>

Brian from Bison Electric did a great job with a panel installation and wiring for my newly built garage. The work was completed as discussed. Great communication, competitive pricing and overall very professional service. I’m glad I hired Bison Electric.

The project was my hunting cabin with no water or electricity. They did not even bat an eye just brought what they needed. Clean-up was better than expected.

"My problem happened early Saturday morning. I tried calling several handymen and electricians. I left a voicemail for Kyle thinking, as with the others, I have to wait until Monday. I was pleasantly surprised (read shocked) when Kyle called me and said had been here in a short time. He arrived on time and with a smile on his face. He went to work and had the problem corrected in about 10-15 minutes and his rates are more than reasonable. Call Amplified Electric, Inc. for the first-class service! Thanks, Kyle!"
