Q: Why do I have lights but no other power?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your lights may be on, but the rest of your electrical outlets and appliances are not working. The first is that while one circuit blew out, the lights may be on another circuit than your other electrical fixtures. Alternatively, your powerless appliances may be plugged into a GFCI outlet that was tripped and needs to be reset. If these issues aren&rsquo;t responsible for the problem, you may have dead outlets or a wiring issue. Either way, you should contact an electrician to identify and fix the issue.</p></div>

Q: Do these code requirements apply to kitchen lights, too?

• <div><p>No, there aren&rsquo;t additional code requirements for kitchen lights. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/make-your-kitchen-lighting-fit-your-design-style.htm">Kitchen lights</a> and other electrical circuits in the kitchen have different code requirements. Outlets need to be particularly robust because of their frequency of use and proximity to liquids. If you need help determining where to install outlets in your kitchen, consult a local electrician who can ensure that placement is functional and up to code.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you wire a single-pole switch wrong?

• <div><p>Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. </p></div>

Q: Are there specific safety requirements I should keep in mind when moving an outlet?

• <div><p>Yes. You should always turn off the power to the work area before beginning, use a voltage tester to ensure it&rsquo;s off, and wear protective gear, such as insulated gloves or safety glasses, to prevent risk of injury. Proper wiring and grounding techniques are also necessary to make sure the job is done right the first time and won&rsquo;t harm any future homeowners. </p></div>

They were fine. They showed up when they said they were going. They picked up after themselves. They do what I asked them to do. They left in a timely manner. They were great. Price was perfect. I felt I wasn’t cheated in any way.
