"I had an electrical issue in my kitchen and the power to main floor went out. I ended up having a back switch that needed to be replaced. I was quickly contacted to understand the issue, and DLP Electric was willing to come out today, however I had already just hired a technician from another company to handle (right before I spoke to DLP). Having said that, DLP Electric was professional and very helpful, and I would hire them if I ever needed electric work performed in my house. Great customer service and very responsive."

"Amax Electric were professional, on time, and very thorough. Making vital suggestions on electrical work and upgrade. Eg. how to say energy etc. We bought a fixer upper and they had to complete Electrical work on the entire house. We added items after the initial quote and it was not a problem. They did not fuss or quarrel. He (Max) says, No problem. The additional charge was minimal not exuberant. Their overall charge was reasonable, not the cheapest but definitely not the most expensive. I will hire again for my next project and would definitely recommend. It's not easy to find very good and honest workmen but I consider myself blessed to be able to work with AMAX Electric."

"MDL Electric provided excellent work on short notice. We are selling our condo and needed to get the electrical panel labeled last minute. He was able to come right away, was professional and punctual. I will definitely call him again for any future work. Price was reasonable as well."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

Ultimately, the best device depends on what you’re measuring. A voltmeter only measures volts, while a multimeter measures volts, current, resistance, humidity, and possibly much more, depending on the model. If you think you’ll need to measure more than volts, consider investing in a multimeter so you have a tool that can help you with various household projects.

Any light bulbs made from toxic materials, such as CFL bulbs and fluorescent light tubes, should not be thrown in the garbage. These bulbs need to be sent to hazardous waste collection sites run by your municipality or sent through a specialized mail-back recycling program. Earth911 allows you to search and find a recycling location near you.

It’s generally not recommended to run electric to a shed above ground, and you should instead run electric lines underground via a conduit. This job, like all electrical jobs, is best left to a pro, as they’ll need to ensure everything is installed safely and that they don’t run into any other utility lines underground. 

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years.
