"I found Patterson Electric on Angi, and Mr. Patterson contacted me promptly the next day. I live in an older home that had started to develop electrical issues. Mr. Patterson worked dillegently to not only diagnose the main problem, but took the initiative to fix some minor issues he found along the way. I felt his prices were very reasonable for the work performed."
Prep to mark and protect wall
Using enough wire to rework in the future.
Installed ground up to match other home outlets. (It makes zero difference other that looks, I always match the house.)

"7 Stars!! Great Service!! It felt like I was walking into my HOME for the first time. Krueger Electric was an experienced team who performed and informed me about my Electrical Upgrades. I had the service upgraded to 200 amp, along with the mast, service cable, cable covering, replacement of box and breakers, new outlets and wiring and grounding. The team was excited about the work they performed and really did an amazing job. Krueger Electric paid attention to my particular situation, was patient and willing to work with me on price and scheduling. They saved me money so I am hiring them for another project. Personal thanks for answering an emergency call in the middle of the night! Great value, responsive, great quality, and great price. Two thumbs up!"

"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

"It went great, this is a unique service, for DIY-ers. My electric dryer wouldn’t heat, so I went on line and diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. I also watched several how to videos, but none of them matched my dryer. Finally went on Angie’s list and it matched me up with Tin Lizzee which is a chat service to help you through your repair. The technician I talked with was polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I did get stuck during the repair and they called me on my cell and talked me through what I needed to do. I know I saved a lot of money by not having an appliance repair person come to my house with the mark up on parts and labor rates per hour I believe I saved at least half of the cost, if not more from ordering on line and chatting and talking to the Tin Lizzee technician, it was $30 well spent."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.

Durations range from an hour for simple jobs to full workdays for significant upgrades.

Provided you leave the switch in the off position, your broken bulb shouldn’t be drawing any power. However, there’s always the risk that the switch is turned on by accident, potentially causing electrical damage or even a fire. Plus, broken glass in the home is never ideal. For safety, it’s a good idea to remove broken bulbs as soon as possible. If you’re in doubt, a local lighting professional can help you remove the bulb safely and quickly.

Soldering is a reliable and durable way to connect wires, but it isn't the only method. Nowadays, professionals often crimp the connection instead—although this requires a higher degree of skill than soldering.
