The purpose of these pages is to help solve electrical
wiring problems. They are meant for electricians although
I realize that in some areas of the country it is legal for a
do it yourself homeowner to perform electrical work. If
you are not experienced at doing electrical work or even
if you are, there are some things to keep in mind.

  • Number one thing to remember is Electricity can Kill
  • Whenever possible shut the power off
  • Always check the obvious first, like switches and circuit breakers.
  • Before taking anything apart be sure you know how to put it back together.
