"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"Jay Messer was timely, professional and skilled. He replaced a non-functional GFCI outlet, replaced two light fixtures, moved two outlets, removed several non-functioning exit signs and emergency lights, and identified a formerly unidentified switch, solving a mystery for us. We are very happy with his work and would look to work with Aurora Electrical Contracting on future projects."

"Spencer and Logan O'Brien were amazing to work with. They, and their crew, were competent and trustworthy to be at our home during this construction job. Spencer is a very good communicator and responds to questions and requests in a timely manner. He was able to organize all the needed elements from land preparation to electrical to make the garage happen, leaving us with very little to worry about. We are completely happy with the end product of their labors and love how the new garage fits in with our existing home. We will absolutely look to O'Briens and Sons LLC for future projects around the home. Overall, the experience was professional, timely and a great investment! Thank you for making our garage come to life, Bill and Dierdra"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

Three-way switches work in pairs, allowing an operator to control a single light or series of lights from two separate switch locations. Most often, a three-way switch controls a light or light series in a single room.

The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005·92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire’s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m−1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm−1).

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.
