"My friend is in the hospital recovering from major surgery. His wife is at home taking care of 3 adolescent boys from foster care. The home gets hit with a bed bug infestation and they need to relocate to an old mobile home while their house is being fumigated. I called ProTech on Friday afternoon and explained I needed to help my friend as there was an electrical issue at the trailer that needed to be fixed so the family could stay there. Less than 24 hours later their technician was at the trailer and fixed all the problems. Communication was great and constant, price was very fair and they did all this from one phone call. They didn't know me. They accepted payment over the phone by credit card and followed up to make sure everything was good. I could not speak more highly of my satisfaction with this company. Thank you Pro-Tech for relieving stress from my friend's family during this time of crisis."

"CJ Electric was great. I can’t say enough about how helpful, considerate and polite he and his team were. I needed a substantial amount of work done, and they were careful, conscientious and paid attention to all the little details. I will definitely be giving him a call for my future projects."

"The job was absolutely done well. I had a series of about 10 outdoor hardwired lights which were outdated and rusty causing the fuse to blow constantly. Keith came and understood my complaint and did what had to be done along with full cleanup. The gave us that aura of safety and confidence all the while. I have a few other electrical projects I’d like to get done and will be calling Rinker soon whether it be Keith or another knowledgeable electrician. I would definitely recommend Rinker for electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can distinguish the amplitude and voltage of most outlets by looking at the shape and positioning of the holes. Other features like buttons, switches, and USB ports help identify electric outlets, too. Use labeled images, like the ones we’ve included above, to cross-reference with your outlets.

A pigtail is the only safe way to connect an electrical device to more than one circuit wire. Connecting multiple wires to a single screw terminal is extremely dangerous and must never be done. Many electricians will opt for pigtails even when there are multiple screw terminals available so that the device in question won’t halt the flow of downstream current when a problem arises. 

With AC wiring, which is the kind most likely you’ll find at home, the black wire is “hot,” and the white is “neutral.” The bare or green wire is considered the safety ground wire. If you encounter DC wiring, it’s relatively easy to tell positive or negative wires apart. red wires are used to indicate positive voltage and black wires indicate negative voltage.

Circuit breakers can wear out, but it takes a long time. Circuit breakers typically last several decades if they don’t face problems like floods or frequent lightning storms. Worn-out circuit breakers may trip more frequently as time passes. However, they can also stop tripping altogether, which leads to electrical dangers. If your breakers have passed the 30-year mark, it’s time to consider an inspection.

No, sconces don’t have to be hardwired, but they can be for a more permanent solution. Sconces come in various styles, sizes, and finishes as well as types of installation. Plug-in wall sconces can be plugged into a nearby outlet, and battery-powered sconces can be mounted to the wall.
