Ask This Master Electrician

In A Quandry, Need An Answer?

In this day and age, with Home Depot and Lowes store, as well as other Home Improvement centers, selling at practically wholesale prices, the items that were once virgin territory, or blind items, hidden behind the electrical manufacturing distributors and wholesalers selling to Electricians and Electrical Contractors. The purchasing public now has far greater reach into these wholesale markets than they once did, thanks to these big box, so-called "retailers". The Electrican who is working for himself these days is not only competing with his colleagues, but also with the property owners themselves, some of whom would be willing to try to do the wiring at their homes themselves.
It is for this reason alone that I write this blog. If the amatuer, shade tree, or weekender electricians are doing this work themselves anyway, why not give them a resource, not only to purchase wholesale electrical parts, but a literature stream of installation information. A smorgasborg of ideas, tools, installation tricks, but most importantly, to weave the National Electrical Code Maker's and the National Fire Protection Agency's and their basic premises regarding the safe installation of electrical devices and products, into the mix.
As I venture into this cybertech library, please keep in mind that this is anew site, and that we will be updating and adding information as fast as I can enter it into the system. If you have a question about something, anything electrical, please email me at , I will endeavor to answer, online, as many as I can.
