"5 stars! Mark Chapman with US Energy Solutions just installed a manual transfer switch box for my portable generator. The work was done professionally, on time, and very reasonably priced. Mark tested the install before he finished and it was perfect the first time. He was knowledgeable and experienced. My next electrical project will start with a call to Mark!"

"There are no words! These guys are top notch humans. We needed a whole new service installed after Helene, there were here first thing Tuesday, and went far above their job. I went to work but my daughter and newborn grandson were here. These guys brought her lunch and ran an extension cord and brought in a commercial fan. They didn't stop there, them and my landlord fixed our generator, we couldn't get it going, left the fan for us to use, filled the gas in the generator. I hope they know just how much we appreciate all their kindness. The city came right out an approved their work, we are all set for when Duke shows up."

I WAS PLEASED WITH THE PROFESSIONALISM AND RESPECT FOR ME AND MY HOME WHILE THE SENIOR TECH WAS WORKING AND ALSO TEACHING A TRAINEE. FLAT RATE WAS CHARGED FOR THE ENTIRE JOB EVEN THOUGH HAD TO COME BACK AND INSTALL THE REPLACEMENT PART WHICH MEANT ANOTHER INTERIOR DISASSEMBLY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR PANEL TO REPLACE THE PART, AS WELL AS MORE DEFROSTING WAS REQUIRED AGAIN TO REMOVE THE INTERIOR PANEL THAT WAS FILLING UP WITH FROST AND ICE AGAIN."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Professional services ensure safe installations, reliable repairs, and compliance with codes emphasizing safety in electrical networks.

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.

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.
