"Both Brandon and Jonathan were excellent to work with. They are true professionals. They've installed a full solar, inverter, and battery backup system for me on two different occasions. They communicate well before, during, and after the project. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for electrical work. Especially for batteries, solar, and backup power. Also, the second picture is before they were finished. They always leave a very clean and organized job site."

They have done a complete shop working job and installed a generator lock out set up for my whole property. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer BCE for any electrical projects. Their professionalism and punctuality is paramount and what you need when the project needs done on time! Friendly and very knowledgeable about all your electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can install a dimmer switch on almost any light as long as the switch, bulb, wiring, and wattage are compatible. Check what kind of light you have, the type of light bulb, and the total wattage of the bulbs to ensure your dimmer is a match. You’ll want to choose a non-neutral wire dimmer if you don't have neutral wiring. Homes built before 1985 that don't have updated electrical systems may not have neutral wiring.

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

When shopping for a multimeter to handle this job, make sure you purchase one that is able to test for capacitance. While most multimeters offer this function, some do not. You shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money to find the right multimeter. There are models that can perform this test that cost as little as $10.

Usually, a light switch goes bad due to normal wear and tear. Light switches are mechanical devices with internal moving parts. These parts make contact with each other, and, over time, the friction can wear them down, causing the switch to feel loose, arc, or fail to operate.
