Our work is responsive, innovative, and dedicated to project delivery. We strive to provide our clients with substantial return on investment regardless of whether the performance metric is financially or philosophically motivated. Sustainable design should be responsible to the pocketbook as well as the environment.

I have 25 years experience in all types of wiring (commercial, residential, farm/ranch). I have the ability to do design build and construct most any project or perform service work. Service upgrades, ceiling fan installs, trouble shooting and adding a generator are all my specialty. Communication is very important to me. I will answer my phone or return your call quickly.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

Most regular three-prong outlets last for about 15 years if installed properly. Outlets may last even longer if they’re rarely used. GFCI outlets last a little longer than regular outlets, around 15 to 25 years. If your home is older than 15 years old, it’s not uncommon to have faulty outlets, but it’s essential to address the issue quickly before it becomes a safety hazard. 

If you've ever tried to run your dishwasher while drying your hair, you’ll understand why dedicated circuits are essential for preventing blown fuses. Appliances that require more electricity than the circuit can handle could blow fuses, trip breakers, overheat, and risk an electrical fire. 

Having a dedicated circuit ensures that your appliance gets the current it needs without overloading the other circuits in your home.

Daisy-chaining refers to placing multiple GFCI outlets in a row along the same circuit. This won’t do any harm, but it’s of limited usefulness because a properly-placed GFCI can monitor all downstream outlets on its own. Multiple GFCI installations won’t usually increase safety except in special cases.

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.
