"I had a great experience working with M&L Electrical Solutions. They were professional, communicated well, and completed the electrical work in a timely manner. They installed the exit signs and handled the wiring efficiently, and everything looks clean and well done. They also provided a referral for drywall repair, which I appreciated. Overall, very reliable and easy to work with. I would definitely use them again."

"Joe was a great help with our electrical projects. We had several smaller projects that we needed done in our new house. He recommended some ways to simplify our projects, quoted a reasonable cost, and performed great work. He even did a great job cleaning up after finishing. I would highly recommend him for your project!"

"Tree branch bent and ripped electrical lines from my house. After many, many phone calls Double U called me back and came out same day to inspect damage and determine exactly what they would need to repair the job. The company (Josh) kept in touch with me as we had to wait for the utility company to show up. Double U got everything fixed and even the utility company was very happy the way the work was done so that they could easily hook me up with power again. They were fast, efficient, friendly and explained everything fully so I really understood what was happening to my home."

"Elliott does great work for a great price. He installed a new 100 amp breaker box and updated some of the house wiring to accommodate the new service. He also wired the newly renovated basement with all the wiring and installed all the outlets, switches and drop ceiling LED lights that have dimmer capability. He is meticulous in what he does."

"Chris is a a real consonant professional who really knows what he is doing. Very well priced. He gives discounts for non-profit organizations. Works by remote which is very convenient, especially for people like me that don't live close to his office in Milwaukee. He was also the first computer technician that answered my request for services on Angie/Handy Man. He responded quickly. He made himself available on a Sunday which was also Labor Day weekend! Very unexpected., definitely not the norm! His demeanor is wonderful. Very patient, kind, considerate, respectful,. He tries to also be informative. He explains things so you'll have more knowledge if you need the same service again. I cannot do him justice without totally recommending him to anyone needing an excellent computer specialist/technician!! I will definitely be using him again. I have a small Clinical Counseling Practice, and he understood the quick timing that was necessary. He absolutely checks all the boxes! I have a small Clinical Practice and he understood that time was very important to me to get the work I needed done quickly for my business to run smoothly. Thank you Chris. It was such a nice experience working with you. I highly recommend that no one hesitates to contact you for any related computer issues!!"

"Hired Unique to remove a Siberian Elm tree in the back yard. They had to coordinate with Com Ed to have the power shut off due to many limbs over the electric lines. Fabian was excellent to work with and the crew did an outstanding job with the removal in a timely and professional manner. Only glitch was stump grinding not included which I thought was. If a future need arises for any landscape needed would reach out to them again."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, outdoor outlets are not required to be on a separate circuit. However, you should always defer to local electrical codes when making decisions about how to install your new outlet. An experienced local electrician will be able to inform you of all codes and requirements in place at your home.

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

A standard three-prong electrical outlet typically lasts for about 15 years with normal use and should be replaced accordingly. GFCI outlets may have a longer lifespan of 15 to 25 years. While some outlets can last longer if used infrequently, they can also fail prematurely. Reasons for early failure include poor wiring, an overloaded circuit, improper grounding or installation, or loose plugs. Signs that an outlet is failing include flickering lights, overheating, a discolored or melted faceplate, plugs that fall out easily, or frequently tripping circuit breakers. It is essential to address faulty outlets promptly to avoid safety hazards, especially in homes older than 15 years.

Single-pole switches are simple circuits designed for lower voltages. As such, they don’t require the complex wiring of switches that need to supply power to larger devices and appliances. This is why single-pole switches commonly go in bathrooms, closets, and other small rooms that power a low-watt light fixture. One wire creates the circuit from the power supply, the other goes to the fixture, and the final wire provides safety mechanisms through grounding.

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.
