"Matt, installed a backup generator on a pad made of rocks and 4 x 6 pressure treated wood that looks amazing!!! Tons of wiring and digging, in other words he sold me the total solution! He also installed a lightning rod and surge breaker inside my breaker box. While he was in there I had him replace all my breakers (circa 2001). All the bedroom breakers were upgraded to Arc Fault breakers. One could not be reset so he had to trouble shoot all the outlets until he found the one where neutral and ground were touching! Only Arc Fault breakers and Matt can detect this problem. You need to read up on the technology. I had him replace all the wired in smoke alarms original to the house (2001) and add an addition one next to the furnace. Matt understands all the electrical codes. My house will be 2017 federal electrical code when Pennsylvania just adopted 2014 codes. Most counties don't even require you to be an electrician to do electrical work. My wife and I sleep easy knowing that all our electrical work is done correctly and to 2017 Federal code. Matt is honest, easy to talk to, smart and very hard working and I trust him!!!! He explained everything he was doing since I watched him most of the time. I just moved here July 31, 2019 and have more work for Matt to do. I strongly recommend him! If I could give him 10 stars I would! James P. Nemeth, MGySgt USMC Retired"

"Kevin from Smooth as Silk arrived ahead of time to install our garbage disposal and replace the kitchen faucet. Before starting, he explained how he would complete the work without disturbing the existing electrical installation. Kevin’s pricing was reasonable, and he took the time to explain how my elderly parent can use the disposal safely and efficiently. I appreciate Kevin’s attention to detail, professional care for our appliances and clear communication!"

Electrical FAQs, 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.

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

An outlet can trip because the circuit it’s on is overloaded, meaning the devices plugged into it are drawing more power than the circuit can safely carry. Another culprit could be because a power surge from a storm or accident caused a problem with your local electrical grid or there’s a short or a fault causing power to run through the circuit in a dangerous or unplanned way.

Removing a fuse from the fuse box is relatively safe under normal circumstances. The task becomes dangerous if wires or wire terminals are exposed or in the case of a disaster such as flooding in the home where water can act as an electrical conductor.

Most ceiling light fixtures only have a black, white, and green wire, but in some cases, you’ll also find a red wire in the box. This is a second hot wire, like the black wire, and is included for ceiling light kits that have a fan.
