Is it safe to strip wires?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s safe to strip a wire if you follow the proper safety precautions. First and foremost, you must always disconnect the power and never try stripping a live wire. Using wire strippers is another safety precaution, but don’t forget to keep your fingers away from the blade. It’s also critical you only remove the insulation and not accidentally cut into the conductor, which is unlikely as long as you’re using the right-sized wire stripper.</p></div>

Q: What size breaker do I need for an outdoor outlet?

• <div><p>You should install a 25-amp breaker for your outdoor electrical outlet. If your outlet is only for use in an outdoor kitchen area for standard appliances, then a 15- to 20-amp circuit breaker should work. However, you will need to install a GFCI receptacle or breaker to ensure that the breaker trips on contact with water.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to touch doorbell wires?

• <div><p>You must turn off the circuit&rsquo;s power at the breaker box before touching doorbell wires. Doorbell systems usually operate on low voltage, but it's always better to err on caution to avoid electrical shock. Using tools specific to wiring is also essential because they are grounded. If you're unsure about handling electrical work, consult a professional to avoid any risk of shock or injury.</p></div>

Q: How do I reset my electric fireplace?

• <div><p>To reset an electric fireplace, first shut the unit off using the control panel or remote control. Make sure the unit is entirely shut down, then unplug it from the power outlet. Wait five to 10 minutes, then plug the fireplace back in and turn it on. This process should reset the electric fireplace. After resetting, make sure to set the thermostat, timer, and other programmable settings to suit your preferences. </p></div>

Very satisfied with his work. He installed an insulated double door, put in a new window for me, and did electrical work in my chicken coop. Everything has been working great since he installed them over a year ago 👍🏻 Would definitely recommend Alpha Electric!

"Aaron the owner came out on a weekend too do a wiring inspection on a house my wife and I just moved into. I made several calls trying too find an electrician and in a timely manner. Several tried to upcharge (and didnâ t know I am a licensed contractor in the state I just moved from. ) He provided not only honest answers but a fair affordable price that I can safely feel confident calling again for any further electrical needs"
