"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system. Brian was incredibly communicative, taking the time to discuss the project, timeline, and costs while patiently answering all of our questions. Patty was wonderful, making scheduling, paperwork, and communication easy and efficient. Their entire crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful. JR and Nick were exceptional foremen who went above and beyond to keep the project on track and ensure every detail was addressed. We'd also like to thank Mike, Julian, Trey, and Chris for their professionalism and craftsmanship. Rewiring an older home is a major undertaking, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Awesome Electrical Services, especially for owners of older homes."

"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."

"We were very pleased with how quick this company reached out to us and was able to work with our schedule. We had a hard time finding an electrician who would come work on a couple small projects in an existing house and Mr. Senchak and his crew were willing and very pleasant to work with."

"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

The process of hiring a reliable electrician begins by searching for local professionals and verifying that they hold a master electrician certification and the proper licensing for your area. After that, you should read through reviews from past customers to see the kind of service you can expect from the contractor, as well as look at the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to check for a history of company complaints. You can also ask for customer references to make sure you’re choosing a reputable professional.

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

Upgrading your electrical panel is often worth the cost for safety, improved electrical performance, and potential long-term savings. A primary benefit is preventing electrical fires and other hazards from a malfunctioning panel, ensuring your household's safety. An upgraded panel also provides a steady flow of electricity, eliminating issues like flickering lights and frequently tripped breakers. It allows you to connect additional appliances without overloading the system, which is especially beneficial for older homes with 100-amp service that are prone to overheating. If you run large appliances like central air conditioning, heating systems, hot tubs, or saunas, you might consider upgrading to a 300- or 400-amp service to meet the higher electrical demand. Furthermore, an upgrade can lead to long-term savings on energy bills and potentially lower insurance costs.

A C-wire connects your thermostat to your household heating and cooling system to provide continuous 24V power. The furnace's transformer converts household electrical current into this low-voltage power to operate the HVAC system's circuitry. In most configurations, the C-wire connects to the terminals labeled "C" on both the furnace's low-voltage terminal block and the thermostat. In some cases, if a dedicated C terminal is unavailable, the C-wire can be connected to the "G" (fan) terminal at the furnace.

The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).
