"Carlton and Tony were extremely professional and knowledgeable. They diagnosed the problem immediately and found where the electrical problem occurred, and why it occurred. They fixed the electrical issue immediately and recommended new GFCIs be installed. They were both great and very friendly, explaining why the outlets were wired in the circuit in the layout of the area in the house. I would whole heartily recommend this company and these two gentlemen for any electrical work."

"I requested an uninstall and re-installation of 2 chandeliers from one residence to another. I received a prompt call from Paul in reference to my request and a timely appointment. He un-installed the 2 chandeliers and followed me to my residence with no hesitation asses the reinstall location. He assessed where I would like the chandeliers to be installed and provided his professional opinion as to the location based on the style, weight and stability. I wanted a certain chandelier hung in the dining area and I was advised it might not be stable, however Paul to the extra time to determine the ceilings integrity and was able to place them both where they would look best. As I observed the installation he was extremely detailed in his work. He was able to install one of the chandeliers in an extremely difficult space which took much effort on his part and it paid off. The chandeliers look breathtaking and itâ s all thanks to Paul . It was a job well done and I am extremely satisfied with the service.. I highly recommend Higginbothamâ s Ekectric LLC for all your electrical and chandelier installation needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. 

Unfortunately, yes, a wall outlet can just go bad. You could’ve purchased a faulty outlet, had it improperly installed, or just blown a fuse in your home. Regardless of what caused the issue, it’s important for you to hire the right professional for this job so they can get it done right the first time.

To check if doorbell wires are live, use a non-contact voltage tester. Hold the tester near the wires; if it lights up or beeps, the wires are live. Always ensure the power is off at the breaker box before handling any wiring. If you don't have a voltage tester, consider getting one or consulting a professional to ensure safety.

To prevent a plug from overheating, always ensure that the electrical load connected to the plug does not exceed the plug's capacity. If the plug feels hot to the touch or emits a burning smell, immediately shut off the circuit breaker and unplug all devices from the hot outlet. Prevent electrical fires by avoiding using extension cords or adapters with the plug, as they can cause it to overheat due to increased resistance. Additionally, ensure that the plug is properly inserted into the outlet and that the outlet is not damaged or loose.
