"Andy (Owner?) stopped by 2 hrs. late to give initial quote for project that I requested on Angi listed as "Install Electrical Switches, Outlets, or Fixtures" agreed on price. When Andy asked if there was anything else, I said there were a couple of fixtures that I was gonna replace, but I wasn't willing to pay an electrician for such a small job. He chuckled and agreed. I got other quotes, but this company had the best estimate for the project I requested. End of job, tech told me that the owner wanted $300 more than he quoted! I called the owner right then. He argued with me saying that I told him I only wanted fixtures replaced when he was here. I said that there were texts between us that confirmed the work to be done as well as the price. He argued more and then told me he hoped that I wasn't gonna make problems in the neighborhood? He tried to manipulate me into not leaving a negative review by saying he's a small company trying to make a living. Worst experience I've EVER had."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s safe to strip a wire if you follow the proper safety precautions. First and foremost, you must always disconnect the power and never try stripping a live wire. Using wire strippers is another safety precaution, but don’t forget to keep your fingers away from the blade. It’s also critical you only remove the insulation and not accidentally cut into the conductor, which is unlikely as long as you’re using the right-sized wire stripper.

In the United States, home outlets support a standard 15 amps, but you can upgrade per outlet if necessary. Most single-family residential homes have a maximum overall amp rating, usually 100 to 200 amps. Very old houses may have less than 100 amps, but that’s rare. Large homes often come with amp services above 200 amps to support modern lifestyles.

Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. 

Watts and volts represent distinct aspects of a light bulb’s functionality. Volts measure the electrical force that drives the current through the bulb, determining its compatibility with the power source. Watts, on the other hand, quantify the bulb’s power consumption and indicate its brightness level. Higher watts generally mean a brighter bulb.

You will need a permit for any electrical work that involves installing or replacing wiring, moving or installing new fixtures, switches, or outlets, hardwiring appliances or HVAC equipment, installing subpanels, and upgrading electrical service. You typically don’t need a permit to have an electrician replace an existing light fixture or electrical box. You can always call your local building department to see if your project needs a permit, but a professional electrician will be able to tell you. In most cases, your professional will pull the permits for you.
