"Oscar put in a ceiling box light in my guest bathroom over my tub/ shower, when the shower curtain was closed before, there was much light inside, curtain was blocking light's from my vanity...but now Oscar fixed that for me, I have a bright LED light overhead of my tub/ shower! I am very thrilled to have this and Oscar and his helper did a great job, very professional, friendly, reasonably priced and cleaned up inside the tub and surroundings of any debri that came from their working. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oscar Aviles Electric LLC for any electrical jobs, I have already discussed with him about doing another small job next week, putting in a LED light in the ceiling of my pantry. And in the future I will have him to come back again to put in more box ceiling lights in my kitchen ceiling to replace a ceiling fixture. I have uploaded a picture from his work today! Thank You and your helper Oscar!! Sharon Carroll Archdale, N.C."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It prevents electrical surges, protects your home from things like electrical fires, and prevents you from getting shocked if an errant surge runs through your power line. Without grounded wires, your appliances could also get damaged during lightning storms.

Upgrading a two-prong outlet to a three-prong outlet typically costs between $20 and $50 per outlet if the electrical box is already grounded. However, the cost can increase significantly if the system is not grounded, as this may require grounding the box or upgrading your electrical panel. Electricians generally charge between $50 and $100 per hour for labor, and the total cost for a more complex installation could range from $130 to $300.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.
