"Terrific job. Mock Electric installed a power line on an independent circuit for a new electric fireplace located about 100 feet away from our fuse box. They were on time and did the work in a thorough and efficient manner and on budget. Thank you for this recommendation!"

"Pryor Electric did extensive re-wiring work in our home from the electrical panel to the fixtures and receptacles. Over the course of the week, the team was very professional - always on time, organized and on schedule. Each day, everything was cleaned up and back in its place and someone reviewed the day's progress and the next steps. Every piece of work, large to small, is quality. From Mr. Pryor's visit for the estimate through the last double-check, they were all patient with my questions and any 'challenges' that the house may have presented. I have great peace of my mind after the work they've done. Highly, highly recommend this team!"

"John called me back within 15 minutes.  He was very helpful and said he could do it but thought it might be better for me to contact someone a little closer.  I think his schedule was pretty full although he didn't say that.  He recommended 2 companies in my area and I ended up hiring one of them to do the work.  I was very pleased with them and they were prompt just like John at Lightning Rod Systems.  I appreciate that he was thinking about what was best for me."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A two-way switch is also called a single-pole or single-throw switch. These switches only have an on-and-off function and only control a single light or series of lights wired together. A three-way switch has no “on” or "off” position and works with a second switch in the circuit to control a single light or light series from two locations.

You can determine whether you have a double-pole switch by examining its wiring. Unlike single-pole switches, which have two brass-colored terminals, double-pole switches feature four. These switches are typically only found near high-powered appliances such as electric furnaces or water heaters. If you’re unsure what type of switch you have, contact a local electrician to confirm.

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

No, you don’t need to hire an electrician to install your garage door opener. Garage door professionals have the skills and expertise to install the wiring necessary to connect the opener to your home’s wiring system. When hiring a local garage door professional to install your system, make sure the opener task is included in the list of provided services.
