Skilled and Respectful Electricians that Can Help You With Your Custom Home Wiring

Custom home wiring is an involved, tricky task since that has to be done with caution and taking all the needed safety measures. This is why you must hire an experienced electrician that will help you set everything up and make sure it is working correctly to avoid any future risks, damages, or even fires.

Since the 1940s, the electrical code NEC set the “rules of the game” whenever a house was built or rewired. The NEC was created for safety purposes and allowed people to identify the many different types of electrical cables by assigning each one a color. As you might have noticed, there are yellow, white, black, red, or green wires, each color defining a characteristic and purpose of the cable.
