"This company did outstanding on a job that was out of the norm. They turned and old addition, that was serving no purpose and had sustained extensive fire damage and deterioration, into a small bedroom suite that included a large walkin closet and the ruff in for a 3 piece bathroom. A mud room and laundry closet was also built. Because of the age of the home and the fire damage, several problems arose that could have pushed me out of budget, but they came up with creative solutions that were able to keep me in budget. The were also able to accommodate some requests that would make future remodels less expensive because the infrastructure will already be there. This company is professional and accommodating to all request even the inconvenient ones. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone. I will definitely be using them for future projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.

Replacing your electrical meter box is critical because it helps prevent damage to your home’s electrical system or possible safety hazards. Plus, you won’t have to deal with frequent power tripping, flickering lights, or the scorched scents that an old or damaged meter box may cause.

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.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

Outlets with only two slots have no ground connection. That’s more common on very old outlets, which means it’s more likely the outlet won’t be polarized. You’ll have to closely examine the slots to see if there’s a size difference indicating polarization. Keep in mind outlets this old are usually out of code and should be replaced if you’re doing any electrical work.
