"Contacted John Pigman, owner of Pigman Electric, and had him come out to give us a bid for the work. We set up an appointment for the following week. John called on the morning of the appointment and said he would be here in an hour. He and his son arrived as promised, went over the work to be done and got to work immediately. John and his son ran new wiring through our attic and down into the garage. They installed new conduit for the wiring of four workshop bench light fixtures, two new 4-gang outlets and two wall switches to feed the lights. In addition, they ran wiring and conduit and installed two new photo cell dusk-to-dawn night lights on the outside of the garage. They did all of this work in about 4 hours and it looks/works great. John and his son are easy to talk with, professional and proficient at their skill. Their price was very fair and the quality of work excellent. We are very pleased with the outcome. We will hire them again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

Yes, you should purchase and use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to power Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use do not have the same protective properties as outdoor versions, so they can’t withstand the exposure to the outdoor elements. Be sure to plug your Christmas lights into outdoor extension cords only.

The best place to put an electrical outlet depends on your needs. A good rule of thumb is to install outlets every 6 feet in large rooms. Hallways over 10 feet long need one electrical outlet minimum. 

If you find yourself needing extra plug-ins for all of your gadgets, you may want to increase the number of electrical outlets in your room. When adding outlets, keep in mind that older homes could have outdated electrical panels. In these cases, you may need a pro to upgrade you from 100-amp to 200-amp service before increasing the power load.

Yes, U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. In some cases, a certified electrician will send an apprentice or journeyman that works underneath them, but the primary electrician still needs to hold the proper license. Without an electrical contracting license, your professional won’t be able to pull the proper permits for your project. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm that an electrician you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. Don’t forget to verify the electrician’s insurance coverage and any third-party certifications before hiring.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.
