"I contacted Jake, and he set up the appt after we discussed the work needed. I needed a GenerLink meter mounted transfer switch. Other contractors I called had no idea what I was talking about and quoted some crazy high rates. Jake knew what the GenerLink was, and quoted a fair rate. His bother John arrived a few minutes before he was schedule, and got right to work. A short time later, he was done, he cleaned up, and we settled the bill. I will call them again, when I need electrical help, and will recommend them to my friends and neighbors. - Mike"

"I had called Northman Electric about getting a generator hook up installed as my home tends to loose power during the winter months. They were able to provide me a couple of options at varying price ranges over the phone. I had settled on the cheapest option and there was no upselling or pushing product. They came out a couple of days later, did the job, and kept their word on the price that was discussed. Overall, great work and happy with the end result."

"I had two small jobs that needed done. Install a thermostat and put the wiring to the cooktop into an electrical box. Both took less than half an hour to complete. Still had to pay for the first hour which is understandable. Wish I had more work for them to do. I would call them again based on this visit."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to use a three-way switch as a two-way switch. You can use a three-way switch as a two-way switch by bypassing one of the traveler wires and using only one of the available traveler switch terminals.

When removing an old security alarm system, you likely won't need to remove any of the wiring. Wiring can either be left in place for a replacement system or capped off for safety and pushed into the wall. If you're uncomfortable with the wiring, or if it's badly damaged, contact a professional electrician for assistance with safe removal.

A wire stripping tool is the easiest way to strip sheathing or plastic insulation from electrical wires. A self-adjusting wire stripper cuts and removes the sheathing without damaging the core wire.

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

In the case of electrical overflow, an ungrounded outlet should trip the circuit breaker, staving off dangerous scenarios. However, this is not always the case, especially if the wires and circuit breaker are worn down or damaged in some way. Ungrounded wires melt over time as they are introduced to more and more electricity. In other words, a circuit breaker offers protection in most instances but not always, and that’s where the danger lies with ungrounded outlets.
