Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient. You can use the included pull chain if your ceiling isn’t too high or install a remote module later, as they are a cheap, easy-to-install option that’ll let you control both the fan and light fixture.

Yes, California law requires that electricians be licensed by the state in order to do electrical work. However, there is an exception for small jobs valued at $500 or less. In these cases, an unlicensed handyperson is legally allowed to do the work. Limit hiring unlicensed contractors to minor tasks and fixes around your home.

There are several signs to look for to determine if a switch is bad. For one, if you notice that the switch is loose, it's good to replace it before it becomes worse. Other signs of failure include a switch that feels excessively warm or hot, a buzzing sound, any occurrence of sparks while operating the switch, flickering lights, or just a general failure to turn the light on or off. 

The color of your cable will help you to identify its function. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) designates the color code for electrical cables. “Hot” cables are black, red, and blue. In cases of higher voltage lines, orange might also be used to indicate a hot cable. White or gray indicates a neutral, and green or green with a yellow stripe indicates a ground.

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.
