Q: Do you do small jobs?
A: Yes, No job is either to small or to big.
Q: Half of my house is working. I have checked the fuses. what should I do?
A: Most people over look the fact that there are cartridge fuses behind two
pull outs. The main side should host 60 amp fuses and the range side normally
40 amp fuses. Mostly they blow from overloading or a short in the
circuity and some times just from fatigue. This should be left for
a qualified electrician to trouble shoot since you are dealing with the main
source of power.
Q: Unlike plumbers, electricians do not put thier license number with thier ads.
How can I check to see if my eletrcial contractor is licensed?
A: Its easy!! Just go to dept. of commerce web page and you can find the entire
list of state Certified Eletrcians as well as other professionals.
Q: Can I install a ceiling fan were I now have an exisitng light fixture?
A: You need to verify if the existing outlet box is ceiling fan rated. This
should be clearly marked on the inside of the junction box. If you can not
find such markings you should assume it is not. At that point you must
replace that box with the appropriate box.
Q: I checked the breaker/fuse box and my kitchen lights still don't work.
A: This is a funny one. Did you change the light bulb and was it new? 50%
of these calls result in changing the light bulb.
Q: My bath room oultet is not working.
A: Many times if there is more than one bath room in the house the
outlets are looped together. There may be a GFCI in
the bath room closest to the electrical panel that load side feeds the
next bath room. It is code and a common practice. Other times, if it
is just one GFCI, lighting may make it trip, and some times they just quit
working.
