"John is an excellent choice for any electrical needs in your home (or your business). We have been working on remodeling our home, and John has been responsive, timely, professional, and excellent. He has helped to update our home beautifully, and we trust him 100% with any electrical update, install, or rewiring. He has run new wires for outlets, repaired and updated old existing outlets, stood on a scaffolding to create new electrical boxes on a vaulted ceiling for a greatroom chandelier, ran wires from an attic to a bedroom for switched bedside lighting, installed dimmers, consolidated switches, and properly wired a new built-in electric ventless fireplace. Honestly, hire John. You will be so glad you did!"

"Tom was friendly, knowledgeable, and did quality work for a reasonable price. He took a messy junction box full of unlabeled wires and stray voltage and cleaned it up and installed a ceiling fan in 90 minutes. I plan to hire him for all my electrical needs for now on."

"They did a really good job, but way that they organized the cables, I think I would have done it differently. They did not ask me they just did it, and they did not ask me. It is fine but I would have done it differently. It took an hour to complete the work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

Wiring or installing a light the wrong way can lead to potentially dangerous scenarios, including shock and even electrical fires. If you’re the least bit uncertain whether you’ve wired something correctly, the best and safest approach is to call in a professional electrician to handle the installation for you.

GFCI outlets help prevent dangers from ground faults that can cause shocks. This is a different issue that a ground circuit can’t fully address. It’s best to use GFCI outlets combined with ground circuits for complete protection for you and your electronics.

Aluminum wiring can pose a fire risk as it can overheat, expand, and contract, leading to failing splices and loose connections. If your home has aluminum wiring, it requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection.

A complete replacement with copper wire is the safest option but can be very expensive and is not always necessary. Other safety measures and upgrades include:

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option where a short section of copper wire is added to each end of the aluminum wire. This is only appropriate for certain homes.

  • Aluminum-Compatible Outlets: Installing outlets specifically designed for use with aluminum wiring.

  • Anti-Oxidant Paste: Applying this paste to connections to prevent oxidation.

Consulting with a qualified electrician is essential to assess the condition of your wiring and determine the most appropriate updates to meet current safety standards.

While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.
