"Diagnosed the issue as electrical. Will need to get electrician in to see where the problem is between the fuse box and the dishwasher."

"Can I give more than 5 stars, because I would if I could!! Communication was so easy! Very responsive to emails/texts or phone calls from the very beginning. Chad (and Nate) arrived on the scheduled day at the appointed time, professional, very personable and interested in MY job! I loved how Chad spent a few minutes getting to know me and what our vision was for our remodel. Bringing a house built in 1990 that has never had any upgrades can have it's challenges, but Chad took them all with a great sense of humor. Throughout the process Chad would make recommendations and offer suggestions and I'm pretty sure we took every single one! Chad and Nate worked quickly yet missed nothing. Our remodel included running new lines and removing old ones. Our kitchen was a total remodel and that included everything from upgrading, replacing and installing new electrical outlets and features from walls that were taken down and moving them to new walls and locations, to installing the new professional range and hood. New lights and outlets in the master bathroom, my studio/craft room (including 3 beautiful pendant lighting that didn't exist before), electrical outlets inside and out, replacing old can lights and installing new ones throughout the house and so much more! When the work is done they don't just leave, they go over everything with you and then clean up after themselves!! There are only 1 or 2 rooms in our whole house where Quality Electrical Solutions work hasn't been done yet and after we move some boxes, they'll be back to do more! Looking forward specifically to Chad working his magic in the living room hiding all the tv cables in the wall! We have built 2 houses and remodeled 2 or 3 and are so pleased with Quality Electrical Solutions work we highly recommend them to everyone! Professional. Quality work. Value your time. Love their job and their clients. Their price is right. Honest. On second thought, don't hire them, we want this company all to ourselves!! lol"

"They showed up exactly when they said they would(very important). They very courteous and knowledgeable with all aspects of work to be done. You would trust them in your house with whatever electrical work you need! Polite and explains everything while doing the work. It was like going to school, but the teacher does all the work. Also did some changes to original work and they accommodated that very easily. Have already referred them to other people in my office who need electrical work and wouldn't hesitate to refer Jason and his partner to anyone in need of electrical work."

"They are my go to electricians. I have had others out in the past but stopped doing that once Varsity Electric completed our first of multiple electric projects. I have had them do light fixture replacements, troubleshooting and repairs, adding outdoor electrical and replace all outlet receptacles in the house and bringing them up to code. They have always been prompt, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to have electrical work done."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, the National Electric Code (NEC) requires at least one GFCI outlet in each sectioned-off portion of an unfinished basement, partly to ensure a power source is available for a sump pump in case of flooding. If you install multiple outlets in your unfinished basement, all of them must be GFCI-protected. For finished basements, standard outlets are generally permitted, but at least one GFCI outlet is still required per circuit. Keep in mind that local municipalities may have additional codes, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to ensure your home is fully compliant.

You’ll need to locate and hire an electrician near you if there’s an electrical project you don’t feel comfortable tackling yourself. Generally, look for a contractor that specializes in the type of appliance or component that you need help with. For wiring, outlets and similar projects, a general electrician is your best bet. For larger remodels, a general contractor will often take care of electrical projects via subcontractors.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.

Unless you have prior electrical experience, it’s best to hire a professional to install your new thermostat for you. Improper installation can damage wiring, lead to a blown fuse, and more.
