"This had to be one of the best customer service experiences that I have ever had.  Esmer who is the office manager reached out to us and asked if we were okay and whether we preferred someone come out on Friday night and work on our unit or on Saturday morning.  We chose to have the come by at about midnight.  The gentleman who came by was extremely professional and friendly.  Within 3 hours, he tried to find if it was another issue in efforts to save us money; however, we were not so lucky.  His final verdict was a new unit.  He provided us options on units with various costs, but he assured us that he would come by first thing in the morning to ensure that we had a temporary replacement unit to cool our house.  Talk about awesome customer service.  It was not long before the unit was up and working until my husband and I decided which unit to go with.  The following Wednesday, Esmer had her guys standing by and ready to come place our new unit in our home.  Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic experience and I felt confident knowing that if anything happens in the future with our unit that these guys will come by no matter the date or time.  Great job Cytech and thank you.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, avoiding circuit overloads, and updating wiring when needed help maintain efficiency.

Soldering is a reliable and durable way to connect wires, but it isn't the only method. Nowadays, professionals often crimp the connection instead—although this requires a higher degree of skill than soldering.

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.
