First of all, I checked Angie's List to see which electric companies were listed and their ratings. I saw that LC Electric was rated overall "A" with between 20 and 30 ratings. Their information section was complete with contact information, business description, service area, operating hours, services included, payment options, business partners, trade license information, bonding, insurance and other info which I appreciate. I was disappointed they did not offer a senior discount and I failed to ask anyway.

I called LC Electric to see if they installed ceiling fans, which they confirmed they did. I asked when they could do the job and they said the next day. We set a time and they told me who would be doing the work. The day they said they would be there I got a call about 15 minutes before the appointment time saying they would be delayed about 1/2 hour. The technician showed up in 1/2 hour as promised, which I appreciated very much. He introduced himself and checked out the work area. Since I already had the fan, he quoted me $105 labor to install it, which I agreed to.

I would have installed it myself, but I have a high ceiling and a short ladder and didn't know anybody with one tall enough to do the job. I did not want to rent one, plus I was a little concerned I might loose my balance that high up trying to handle the fan and hook it up at the same time. I'm not as young as I used to be.

It took him an hour to finish the job and clean up after himself. I was impressed that he showed me the blades were a slightly different shade of finish on each side and asked me which side I wanted showing. We looked at the other fans in the house and decided which side matched the other ones. He turned on the fan for me to see and I was quite pleased to see it in operation at last (I had purchased it about a year before and kept putting off installing it). It was perfectly balanced and ran very quiet like the other fans in the house. He explained which wall switch turned on the fan and which one turned on the lights, which I was already familiar with, but nice of him to explain anyway.

The final bill was $113.72 with tax. We shook hands and he asked me to remember LC Electric the next time I have a job to do, which I will.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

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’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.

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet. 

Buying a house with aluminum wiring requires careful consideration due to potential fire risks. Ensure a thorough inspection by a licensed electrician to assess the condition and identify necessary safety upgrades—factor in these additional costs when deciding. While it may not be a total deal-breaker, understanding the risks and required maintenance is necessary. Also, you should consult your insurer about coverage for homes with aluminum wiring to know whether the house is insurable.
