"Cody came out and did a fantastic job. Installed an attic fan and ran electric to a shed away from the house and ran electric around a patio outside. Cody is knowledgeable and does a great job. He even took extra time at the end to clean up more than I expected, I didn’t have to do a thing, and I’m always prepared to do a little clean up at the end. His prices are very fair, he is honest and hard working. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs electrical work done."

"Prodigy was very responsive and was able to install a new electric box within 1 day when the power was continuously going out in my home. The new main breaker and panel box fixed my issue and we were grateful that Prodigy was able to fit us in within 24 hours of the request! Great customer service."

"Christian was very professional and his work was excellent! He was friendly and took the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it. He basically provided an introductory course in some basic electrical principles while providing quality service. The cost was very reasonable and my wife and I are both pleased and satisfied with the results. I will be recommending Kraken Electric to family and friends whenever they require the services of an electrician!"

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.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

Yes, electric-start snow blowers need to be plugged in to start, but you can unplug them and go once they’re up and running. Simply plug the snow blower into an outdoor outlet and press the start button. Once it starts, you can unplug it and use it freely. The idea for these types of snow blowers is to simplify the starting process from the typical pull-string starts.

Smart light switches are designed to be compatible with most lights and traditional home wiring, but there are several key factors to check. First, verify your home's wiring, as some smart switches require a neutral wire to operate, which may not be present in older houses (often built before 1985). Always check the wiring requirements for the specific model you choose. Second, consider your light bulbs; while smart switches work with almost any light, using a dimming feature requires dimmable bulbs, such as dimmable LEDs. Finally, ensure you have the necessary network connection. Most smart switches need a Wi-Fi connection for remote control, but some older models might use other standards like ZigBee, which would require a compatible hub.

Tankless water heaters won’t increase your electric bill. Since tankless water heaters are more efficient than tank water heaters, installing one in your home will actually allow you to save money on your electric bill. The Department of Energy estimates you can save $100 or more each year with a high-efficiency tankless water heater.
