"Sean arrived on time and immediately got to work mounting my TV above my fireplace. He mounted both the soundbar and the cable box to the TV, installed a new electrical outlet and pulled the cable to a new outlet on the wall behind the TV so that no wiring can be seen. He also installed a new box with extra cable hidden behind it to allow for the blu-ray to be connected, again, so that no wiring was hanging from the mantle, which was the reason for my calling them to begin with. When John came to help hang the TV he also checked the additional wiring in the house and found that some of it was older. He explained the difference and that it may work ok (so that he didn't have to charge me for any extra re-wiring) but I would know what to tell the cable company if I had to have them come out to activate the new boxes. Sean installed or moved four boxes throughout the house. Once done, Sean cleaned up and vacuumed up any mess left behind. This young man worked tirelessly from 8:00 am until well after 4:00 pm with no breaks. I will definitely be calling them again if the need arises and would absolutely recommend them to anyone that needs wiring work done in their home!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.

Your breaker box houses the breakers that control the circuits in your home, shutting them off if they overload or experience similar problems. Your meter box houses your electrical meter that monitors the electricity flowing into your house and measures its use for your utility company.

In some cases, both components are in the same box, but they don’t have to be together. Many homes have them split, with the breaker box inside for easier access and the electric meter outside.

While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.

First, check the current electrical code in your area to ensure spaces you’re considering meet the requirements. After that, your outlet’s location is up to you. If you’re moving it to hide wiring, you may want to move it in a spot that will also be hidden from view, such as behind a media center or table. As long as you meet the spacing guidelines set by electrical codes, you should be able to pick any spot in your home for an outlet. 

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.
