"I was fortunate enough to have Ryan complete a number of projects to date. He upgraded our home to an underground service with an upgraded electrical panel, ran new wiring for lighting and outlets for our addition, and upgraded our kitchen and living room lighting. His experience troubleshooting and ability to think outside of the box was evident when swapping out our messy existing panel. He is professional, hardworking, mindful of expected outcome, and efficient. I can only speak highly of him and highly recommend him!"

"Colin helped us out with running electricity to our detached garage, and installing a level 2 charger for our cars. His work was excellent and efficient. He was communicative before, during, and after the project, and he was on time each day. His initial bid was very competitive, and we're super glad that we chose Colin to work with. We're looking forward to our next project with him."

"It went very well. I needed a quick repair to the wiring from the meter to the house after a tree fell across the power line to the house and ripped the meter off. This needed to be done before the electric company would turn the power on. They came quickly performed the repairs and contacted the electric company for to get the power back."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, one wire is always hot on the 3-way switch, meaning it carries the electricity from the power source to the switch. If you have a 3-wire cable in your home, you have two hot wires, or line wires, coming from the power source. Typically, you’d connect the hot black wire from the power source to the traveler wire and the hot red wire from the power source to the first 3-way switch. For the second 3-way switch, you’d then connect the hot black traveler wire to the switch.

Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month).

You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won’t use much power—a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

Knob and tube wiring is old, and its casing is brittle. This means that it's possible to receive a dangerous electrical shock if you touch a live wire and essentially become an electrical pathway. Although the scenario is unlikely, touching any K&T wiring is simply not a good idea in any instance. Leave any wire handling to the professionals.
