"The Kilowatt work crew were prompt, courteous, and diligent. Our 1971 ranch needed aluminum wire replaced with copper, and the owner of Kilowatt understood how important this work was to our family's sense of security. They arrived when they said they would and they carefully assessed the wiring throughout the house. We are grateful for their expertise and the quality of their work. We will call on them again for future electrical work in our home."

"I have a lot of experience in electricity-related areas so I am quite demanding and critical. Each time I have called Buckingham, scheduling was prompt and the techs were knowledgeable, accommodating and thorough. They arrived on time and in the most recent case came back quickly to resolve an issue that was not clearly their responsibility. I really like dealing with these pros and will recommend them to my neighbors."

"Called Chuck. The office I work for had lights out. Chuck sent Trevor who was very efficient and had them installed and cleaned up his work area. The office is so much brighter. This is the second time that I have called Chuck Raycraft Electric and I will definitely be using their service again. It is so great to have someone so prompt and who values your time. Thank you Chuck and Trevor for a job well done."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to hang a chandelier without wiring, but it depends on the design of both the chandelier and your ceiling. Many homeowners use plug-in pendant lights, adhesive hook and cord pendants, or nonelectrical light sources to hang a chandelier without wiring.

Full home electrical inspections are mandatory if you’re buying a new home, but if you’re just looking for a safety checkup, you have some flexibility. If you don’t have any concerns and your property is relatively new, a basic inspection is usually sufficient. If it’s been a long time since your home was last inspected, or it’s an older home, a full home inspection can help catch any concerns that may fly under the radar.

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.

A sudden tiny spark is normal when first plugging in an appliance. However, if your plug regularly sparks, has other concerning problems, or worries you for any reason, you should call a licensed electrician to have it inspected and ensure that it is not at risk of causing an electrical fire.

Rewiring an electric system in a house typically ranges between $2,000 and $9,000, but a simple project can cost as low as $1,500. More complex upgrades run $10,000 or higher. The price depends on the size of your home, how accessible the wiring is, the cost of materials, and local electrician fees.
