"Dos Amigos provides quality service and is responsive to inquiries.  We contacted Dos Amigos for an estimate, and Matt Berry was at our the house the next day for a free estimate.  Matt is very knowledgeable and eager to assist.  Price was a little higher than another estimate we received, but the company's timeliness and work quality more than made up for the price difference with other companies.
Dos Amigos sent out two men to our house at 9:00 a.m. and they worked until 5:00.  They cleared the front and back yard of dead and fallen limbs, leaves, weeds, and dead plants.  They did an outstanding job, and I would highly recommend Dos Amigos to anyone interested in lawn care and/or property cleanup.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. Replacing an electrical service line, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. 

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.

A faulty light switch can trip a breaker due to circuit overload or a short circuit. A faulty light switch may not always trip a breaker, so don’t use that as your only sign that something’s wrong. Always investigate the cause of a switch that isn’t working properly, feels hot to the touch, or is making unusual noises.

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet. 

Unless you have prior electrical experience, it’s best to hire a professional to install your new thermostat for you. Improper installation can damage wiring, lead to a blown fuse, and more.
