"John was amazing. He explained everything well, and kept great lines of communication open throughout the job. This was especially true in dealing with the electric company. He went above and beyond to make sure everything with our new panel was set up the way we wanted and provided advice on other things we needed (like a basic ceiling fan install). I would definitely call John Julius Electric next time I need electrical work done."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.

By nature, two-prong outlets aren't grounded—but the box they run to might be, which makes them safer. The safest way to test if an outlet is grounded is to purchase a circuit tester, which cost about $20 at home improvement stores. 

If you discover your outlet (or outlets) aren't grounded, know that this greatly increases your risk of personal injury and electrical fires. You may want to consider installing new three-prong ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. On average, the cost to install GFCI outlets is about $210 per outlet.

It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time.

To ensure batteries stop charging when they’re full, you’ll need to install a charge controller that determines when the battery is full. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge controller will stop the energy flow or divert the energy to the grid or other appliances. Without a charge controller, the battery may continue to charge, which can lead to less productivity and potential damage.

If your thermostat does not have a C-wire, you can hire a professional to check for an abandoned C-wire hidden in the wall, install a new C-wire, repurpose an existing G-wire to function as a C-wire, or purchase a C-wire adapter kit. 

There are some smart thermostat models that do not require a C-wire, but this will limit the functionality of the smart technology.
