"Daniel, their electrician has helped us before. He arrived promptly and after discussing with us our issues went directly to work addressing our problem. He successfully completed his work to our satisfaction, discussed the repairs , and was on his way to his next appointment in a very timely manner. We are extremely satisfied with his work in particular and Mr Sparky in general in addressing our needs. Reliability and competence seem to be their hallmark."

"One of the most prompt, friendly, efficient , and professional repairman I've that has done work for me in a long time. He was fast, but thorough and got the job done so much sooner than I thought it would take him. Good price and great work. If I need additional electrical work, I feel confident that I would call him again. And if someone I know needs an electrician, I would certainly recommend Smith Electric! Great experience from Smith Electric!"

Electrical questions, 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.

A light switch can stop working for several reasons. Typical causes include a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, both of which shut off power to the switch. Worn-out or faulty internal switch components can also prevent it from functioning properly. Loose or disconnected wiring within the switch or electrical box is another frequent issue. Additionally, switches may fail due to age, excessive use, or physical damage. In some cases, problems with the light fixture or bulb itself might be mistakenly attributed to the switch.

It's possible to get power from an outlet for a light switch. However, you must install additional wiring to get current from the outlet to the switch and from the switch to the load it will control. Also, you must ensure that the outlet's electrical circuit can accommodate the additional demand. 

You're in luck, because replacing a breaker panel is not a regular occurrence that most homeowners have to worry about. Electrical breaker panels last 25 to 40 years, assuming you properly maintain your system and conduct annual inspections. Factors like load demand and exposure to the elements slightly reduce a breaker panel’s lifespan.

Yes, Christmas lights on a timer are just as safe as any other Christmas lights are. Most fires caused by holiday lights are due to damage to the strings of lights themselves or from too many lights being plugged into one circuit.
