"Quick to reply! Able to schedule call with Joe right away and received thoughtful, honest recommendations. Great customer facing attitude. Though I ended up not needing to hire for my outlet replacement they will be my go-to for all future electrical issues."

"Very professional, great follow up! I got three bids on the electrical work for our remodel which we did in several stages. Brandon had a detailed bid back to me the day he was out to look at the job. The other bids took up to a week. He was fast and professional. The price for the job was great. The professional, respectable way Brandon does business was a fantastic addition."

"From estimate, to selection of The Juice Company, to scheduling, they made the entire process painless. Had 2 15 amp "peanut" breakers installed to replace an existing breaker and establish a new circuit, and 2 new outlets installed. We also had low voltage network cable roughed in so I could terminate it later, and everything was done not only properly, but quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done in the South Sound region."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A pigtail is the only safe way to connect an electrical device to more than one circuit wire. Connecting multiple wires to a single screw terminal is extremely dangerous and must never be done. Many electricians will opt for pigtails even when there are multiple screw terminals available so that the device in question won’t halt the flow of downstream current when a problem arises. 

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

Basic smart light switches are available for as little as $20. If you can install them yourself, it’s a home upgrade that won’t break the bank. Many homeowners view them as a worthwhile investment for the additional convenience and security they can offer. However, they are a little more tricky to install than standard light switches, so if you don’t have the electrical knowledge to do a DIY job, unless you need a lighting upgrade, remember these are a nice-to-have rather than a necessary purchase.

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.

Yes, a water leak poses a major fire risk at your home because water is a conductor of electricity. Water that comes into contact with sparks or electrical wires can instantly ignite flammable materials. Additionally, any type of exposure to water can cause wires and other electrical components within your home to corrode. When assessing categories of water damage, it's important to know that even a small amount of moisture near wiring could cause sparks that lead to a fire.
