"They did excellent work on many different items. Had a light installed over the sink (replaced a canister with light), re-wired outlets for kitchen remodel, and installed Ring doorbells. Showed up on time (key for me) and did nice work on all of the items. I would definitely have them do any other electrical work for me."

"Mr. Bailey was absolutely amazing. I have an older house and even simple projects become complicated fast. Mr. Bailey visited my home three different times and every time was a great experience for me. He showed up on time, every time. He was very easy to contact and he kept me informed of what was going on at every step of the job. He was incredibly professional even when my old house threw curveballs at him. I am so impressed with all of the work he did for me and my spouse and I will absolutely recommend him and hire him again if/when we need more electrical work done. Mr. Bailey is a joy to work with and he truly cares about his work. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate him and his dedication to figuring out the puzzle of my house and making sure me and my family are safe in our home."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

If your microwave is on the fritz and you suspect the fuse has blown, you can check it to confirm it’s the source of the problem. Start by disassembling the panel and carefully checking the fuse filament or ceramic components. If your microwave uses a glass fuse, you’ll likely see discoloration and a melted filament. If your microwave contains a ceramic fuse, you’ll need to use a multimeter continuity tester to check if there’s continuity.

If you find the power cables for your appliances are too short, there are ways to extend them for the cost of just the extra wiring you need. Simply cut and strip your wires, solder them together, and cover them using heat shrink tubing. Not everyone has a soldering tool on hand, so if you’re looking to extend in a pinch, an extension cord, power bar, or surge protector can do the job just fine.
