"TPaul Electric did an electrical wiring job for me. His service was excellent. He evaluated the needs of the job and was attentive, accommodating, personable and professional throughout. At the end, I was happy with the work done. It has lasted with no reason to call back, unless I have other projects for him/them to work on. Thank you TPaul."

"My experience with PK and Altman Electric was excellent. From my initial contact with Elizabeth in the main office to the service that was provided by Raphael and Omar, the staff was professional, polite, and punctual. I called on a Tuesday, and Elizabeth scheduled me in for Wednesday! And Raphael and Omar arrived an hour early. Before starting, Raphael reviewed a TO DO LIST with me. A ceiling fan and two outlets, including a GFI and light fixture, were either replaced or serviced. Pricing is competitive. Very pleased and would highly recommend."

"I highly recommend Simply Electric for any electrical work, especially panel installations. Gerry recently replaced my old, outdated electric panel with a new one, and the quality of work was exceptional. From the initial estimate, he was professional, punctual, and very transparent about the process. He took the time to explain the process and what to expect. . I now have total peace of mind knowing the work was done correctly and up to code. I will definitely be using him for future electrical needs!"

"I had a great experience with Solaris Electrical! Semir personally came to my home and did an excellent job. He responded to my posting very quickly and came the next day to install a 240 V (Level 2) outlet for my EV charger in the garage. He also upgraded my existing electrical panel and completed everything quickly, precisely, and with outstanding quality. The work was done neatly and professionally — no mess, no delays, and everything works perfectly. I’m very happy with the result and will definitely use Solaris Electrical again for future electrical projects. Highly recommend this company — Semir is professional, efficient, and reliable!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No. Blue wires and black wires are different. Even though both are used as hot wires, they serve different functions. Black wires are far more common in residential properties. They are always hot, can be positive or negative, and usually carry electricity from a power source to an outlet. Blue wires have a specialized usage in residential properties, generally as traveler wires, and are more common in commercial properties.

If one plug in your outlet works but the other doesn't, it could be due to a few reasons. The outlet might have a loose or damaged internal connection on the non-working side. Another possibility is that the outlet is a split receptacle, with one half controlled by a wall switch that might be turned off. Additionally, debris or damage inside the non-working plug could prevent a proper connection. If you can't identify the issue, remember to prioritize safety. Replace the outlet or consult a professional electrician to ensure safety and proper functionality.

Yes, you can run an above-ground electrical conduit and stay within National Electrical Code safety guidelines. Just make sure you check the code requirements of your project with the local building regulations office. You should work with a local electrician to complete this type of project due to the personal safety hazards.

This type of conversion is easy—you’ll just need to upgrade to the correct amperage in your wires before wiring the new outlet. However, these projects can be tricky without intermediate electrical knowledge, so consider consulting a pro before flipping any switches on your circuit breaker.

Leaving lights on raises the electric bill, but not as much as having high-wattage light bulbs. The best way to save on electric costs is to swap your light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs that use far fewer watts. You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.
