"Working with SciFi could not have been better. It was the only contractor in the area willing to take on the entire project of installing propane tank, running a gas line and connecting a new range, and installing a generator for my home. Marshall, Steve, and the crew did an excellent job, What made working with them such a positive experience was the timely communications about every aspect of the project. Due to the pandemic, the generator was backordered; but, because they kept me up to date, there were no surprises. SciFi shows a clear commitment to doing quality work and customer service. I highly recommend SciFi, and will gladly call on them again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Technically, an outdoor outlet can be on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, but it's generally not recommended. Outdoor outlets should ideally be on a dedicated circuit that doesn't share power with other indoor or outdoor outlets. This helps ensure that the outdoor outlets are able to handle the additional electrical load without overloading the circuit. Additionally, outdoor outlets are often exposed to the elements, which can increase the risk of electrical shock and other hazards. If you must have an outdoor outlet on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, be sure that the circuit has the capacity to handle the additional load.

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.

Most electricians should be able to fix lamps and individual light fixtures, but you might have difficulty hiring an electrician for such a small fix. Most of the time, electricians opt for larger jobs more specific to their expertise, like relocating fixtures and switches or fixing issues with electrical systems. If you hire an electrician for another electrical repair or installation, you can ask them to look at your lamp, but you may be better off hiring a lamp repair specialist, especially if you’re repairing an antique model.

An outlet that has the neutral and hot wires switched, or reverse polarity, presents a shock hazard because anything plugged into it will be electrified whether or not it is on. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, like the metal parts on a toaster, while it’s plugged in, you can be shocked.

Each meter should have a serial number printed or engraved on the face of the meter. Make sure the serial number of the meter you are reading matches your account with the power company. If you live in an apartment complex, the meters are likely located all together. Yours should be labeled according to your apartment unit.
