"We were so pleased to find that Brandon works on Saturday and did not charge extra for a weekend call. He was early to arrive and promptly diagnosed our problem which was corrected, and our outlets are back in service for guests this weekend. We highly recommend Switch Electric.

"I needed an electrician for an issue in one of my bedrooms in the house that my skill level could not figure out. I had one light switch and power outlet that was not working. I could not figure out where the issue was located. I decided to give Allgood Electric a try with the issue. It was very easy and user friendly to schedule an appointment from Allgood Electric homepage. They even give you a few choices with quotes to select from for your appoint. The scheduling wizard was great because not only do you get an estimate, but it also allows you to pick the date and time slot you are looking for ALL online. This feature alone for Allgood Electric is top notch. David was the assigned technician and came first thing in the morning at the beginning of my estimated time slot. I received two calls before David showed up. I received one in the morning from an office clerk and one from David to let me know he was 30 minutes from the house. Those calls ahead really help to get you ready for their visit. David was very professional and friendly. He was quickly able to diagnose the issue. Once he diagnosed the issue he was able to get my electrical issue fixed on both my outlet and light switch. No one wishes for electrical issues in their home, but if I have another problem I am happily going to give Allgood Electric another call."

"Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Electrical fires are unique from other fire types because they have the potential to deliver electric shocks in addition to being on fire. Avoid serious injury from possible electrical emergency situations by avoiding the use of water, foam-based fire extinguishers, wet-chemical fire extinguishers,  flour, or baking powder to put out an electrical fire. 

It’s possible to distinguish a positive black wire from a negative black wire if you know what type of circuit the wires are in. If it’s an alternating current (AC), then black wires are positive. If it’s a direct current (DC), then black wires are negative. 

Sometimes, a circuit has two black wires. In that case, the positive black wire will be solid black while the negative black wire will have a white stripe on it. If you’re still unsure, you can use a multimeter to check.

Yes, you can daisy chain outlets, which involves connecting multiple outlets in series. However, ensuring the circuit can handle the additional load is important to avoid overloading and tripping the breaker. The total number of outlets on a single circuit should not exceed the recommended limit, typically eight on a 15-amp circuit. Hiring a licensed electrician is always advisable for complex installations or if you're unsure of what to do.

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

Smart meters send the readings over a wireless wide area network (WAN) to the power company. This network allows sending small amounts of data slowly over long distances, which is perfect for smart meter readings that occur monthly. If you would prefer a smart meter, contact your power company and consider springing for the cost of replacing your electric meter.
