"Eddie was able to perform the required work within an hour. He was very pleasant yet professional. Left the work area clean. I will definitely recommend using Clark Electric LV to all my friends and neighbors."
"Mike from Dead On Electric came out and fixed my circuit breaker and other smaller electrical issues I was having in my home. He was efficient and very helpful, since I know literally nothing about electrical stuff. He quoted me a decent price too. Definitely would call again if I ever had problems in the future."
"A?Team Electricians were fantastic from start to finish. They clearly knew what they were doing and completed our panel upgrade efficiently and cleanly over the course of a few days. Communication was prompt, the team was respectful, and they left the space spotless. Everything passed inspection with no issues. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing reliable electrical work in Las Vegas."
"Found a simple answer and did a repair even though a piece was missing. Saved the price of buying a new unit. Great to see someone not taking advantage of a situation and actually trying to save the customer money. Really nice guy, very informative about appliances."
"All my lights are now working. Jack installed LED lights which are brighter and require less electricity. I am happy that I hired Advanced Landscape Lighting."
"Maurice listened to my solar panel dilemma over the phone explain to me exactly what he could do to fix it exactly what it would cost and he showed up the same day did the repair. He was quick efficient and totally trustworthy. I would not hesitate to refer him to any of my neighbors looking for any type of electrical work. He did a great job."
It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit.
A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.
Typically, when a 3-way switch only works when one switch is on, this is one of the most telltale indicators that the switch has gone bad (although this could also be the result of faulty or loose wiring). To diagnose the issue, toggle each switch until the light comes on. Once it’s on, toggle each switch separately again; the switch that doesn’t turn the light off is the bad switch.
Hiring a professional electrician to wire a house costs anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000 or more depending on the size and complexity of the project. Most professional electricians charge $50 to $100 per hour. While the extra expense is significant, it’s worth it to ensure the safety of your home’s electrical system.
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.
