"I recently purchased an older home and all of the major MEP systems are 45 years old. So when I ordered all new appliances, I didn't hold much hope that "installation included" would get me far. Sure enough, I quickly found myself with a house full of brand new, functionally useless, machines. Ahmad responded to my call, came immediately and worked 12 hours straight. They ran new cables, installed new outlet boxes and even got all the old appliances out of the house. I'm definitely bringing them back for additional work. I'm thrilled with the results and they have my highest recommendation."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, if something sparks when you plug it in or turn it on, it's important to unplug it immediately. A spark from an electrical appliance or device could indicate a short circuit, damaged wiring, or other electrical problems that could cause electrical fires or electrical shock. By unplugging the appliance, you can reduce the risk of electrical hazards and prevent damage to the device itself. It's important to avoid using the appliance until it has been inspected and repaired by a licensed professional to ensure that it’s safe to use.

Inverter generators are designed to turn on the engine when your appliances demand more energy. This is in contrast to running at full capacity as soon as they’re turned on, like a standard portable generator does. So long as the wattage rating is high enough, an inverter can power a refrigerator just as well as a traditional generator.

In the case of electrical overflow, an ungrounded outlet should trip the circuit breaker, staving off dangerous scenarios. However, this is not always the case, especially if the wires and circuit breaker are worn down or damaged in some way. Ungrounded wires melt over time as they are introduced to more and more electricity. In other words, a circuit breaker offers protection in most instances but not always, and that’s where the danger lies with ungrounded outlets.

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.

To determine if an electrical outlet is blown, look for visible signs of damage, like burn marks or melted plastic. If not, try plugging in a few different devices to confirm that the outlet is not working. You can also use a voltage tester or multimeter to check for power—a no-reading means there's an issue. Lastly, check your circuit breaker or fuse box to see if the outlet was tripped, and if so, reset it. If none of this works, you may need to replace your outlet.
