"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Electrician — Highly Recommended! I hired Spears Electric to install a subpanel, two 240V circuit shutoffs, and two other dedicated circuits. They did an excellent job from start to finish — professional, clean, and clearly knowledgeable. Unlike some of the shady contractors I came across, they encouraged me to do things the right way with city permitting, instead of trying to talk me out of it. That really stood out to me. Everything was done neatly, safely, and up to code. Couldn’t be happier with the work — highly recommend Spears Electric for any electrical project. Thank you!"

I have hired him for my restaurant Los Antojos multiple times and pricing was very reasonable and fair compared to other companies. I really appreciated the great communication and attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality electrical work at a great price!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.
