"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"Corey works hard and does a thorough and good job. I have had him do several things for me over the years--not all related to electrical. Now that he is a Master Electrician that will be his focus. Because of his work ethic and quality of his work I cannot imagine using anyone else. I highly recommend him."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Wiring a light switch wrong can cause a fire if the incorrect wiring causes arcing, meaning the current jumps uncontrolled from one conductor to another. Loose wires or worn wires that are not repaired or replaced can cause arcing. If you’re not 100% sure you can do the job safely, don’t attempt to wire a light switch on your own.

Different types of light switches include single-pole switches (the standard switch in your home), double-pole switches, toggle switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, and more. 

A single-pole light switch controls the power to a single device, whereas two-way, three-way, and four-way light switches control lights from different locations, increasing the number of connections in the home.

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.

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details.
