"Excellent father and son team replaced old smoke alarms throughout the house and hard wired them with zero damage to ceilings. They showed me how the alarms will work for good peace of mind. Also fixed wiring to my backyard outdoor lights and got them up and functioning again. Great work on both projects!"

I'm experienced in a variety of handyman and odd jobs as well as a variety of more professional tasks such as concrete, electrical, framing/carpentry, mechanics, tile, painting, heavy equipment and more. I am a heavy equipment operator by trade via the United States Marine Corps but have worked in all of the listed areas of expertise in the past. Whatever home task you have, rest assured that I will get it taken care of correctly, efficiently, and at a fair rate.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.

Breakers are designed to trip and be reset, so there’s no countdown to when it will malfunction. The danger lies in a break tripping multiple times in a row without—well, a break. The breaker and the wires need time to cool down after an overload. Multiple tripping in short succession exacerbates the problem that breakers are preventing, overheating the electrical components and causing damage. That damage can extend to the breaker itself, so a breaker that trips a lot in a short timespan may trip accidentally afterward.

The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn’t currently include them.

There are several signs to look for to determine if a switch is bad. For one, if you notice that the switch is loose, it's good to replace it before it becomes worse. Other signs of failure include a switch that feels excessively warm or hot, a buzzing sound, any occurrence of sparks while operating the switch, flickering lights, or just a general failure to turn the light on or off.
