 Just about any <u>home wiring</u> question. (not appliance repair) I have done all kinds of home wiring for myself, including adding a new breaker box, etc. Please, questions from North America only. Please be specific with details. Please note that I am a homeowner who is self-taught. I know a lot, but I am not an electrician. I always base my answers on following the rules. If you are asking me how to jury-rig something, you probably won't like my answer.

 I can answer any questions about residential electrical wiring and most questions about commercial wiring. In my own business, I insist on using best practices in all work we do (which to me means "to Code" or BETTER, using the most recommended ways to do things).

 Licensed Philadelphia electrician serving Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Philadelphia County in Pennsylvania. I install and repair residential, commercial and industrial wiring and lighting. Troubleshooting and repair of problems that stump other people is my favorite. I am willing to help people figure out why things don`t work. I understand motor controls, transformers and machine wiring. I am not willing to teach novices to do installations of advanced work or replace basic personal research.
