"We hired Tyler to close in a doorway to make a second bedroom for our daughter. He was extremely professional and his work was exceptional. The job was very clean and he communicated with us every step of the way. We’ve since used him for several light fixture installs and will continue to call on him for all of our renovation needs!"

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.

You can move an electric meter outside if you currently have one inside your home. This is considered a larger move, so be prepared to pay on the upper end of $600 to $1,200. When hiring a professional electrician to move your electric meter, be sure to specify its current location and desired location, including pictures if possible.

While some doorbells go silent, others will ring constantly or randomly when they are on the fritz. A doorbell can ring continuously for a few reasons. The button may be stuck in the "on" position, causing the bell to sound repeatedly. Alternatively, one of the wires could have come loose and is touching a metal surface, causing the bell to short circuit and keep making noise.

With AC wiring, which is the kind most likely you’ll find at home, the black wire is “hot,” and the white is “neutral.” The bare or green wire is considered the safety ground wire. If you encounter DC wiring, it’s relatively easy to tell positive or negative wires apart. red wires are used to indicate positive voltage and black wires indicate negative voltage.

Licensed electricians should perform work for safety reasons; improper installations can prove hazardous or result in code violations currently.
