Kuhlman™ It's Electric!!!

Knob & Tube Wiring Replacement

This guide is first in a series which addresses older wiring in homes. As a Master Electrician and owner of Kuhlman Electric in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Jesse Kuhlman sees far too many customers who have no idea about how having their electrical system updated should work, and can be completely mislead by electricians who don't have their best interests in mind. After hearing from far too many homeowners that "The last electrician said i will have to gut some walls to run the new wiring" Kuhlman knew something needed to be done! The result is this series and Kuhlman's goal with these guides, as with all aspects of his business, is EDUCATION of the customer first and foremost. If you are educated to the process (from estimate to install to final billing) think about what a great advantage that will give you while getting estimates / meeting with electrical contractors. And honestly, it should help the electrical contractor meeting you as well! After reading this guide, you will be able to distinguish the difference between the legit electricians who do this work all the time and the ones who don't. 

Electrical Troubleshooting

When Jesse Kuhlman started this guide, his original intention was for it to be used by his own employees of Kuhlman Electric to refer to and learn from. Jesse takes the education of his company’s employees very seriously and hoped to make them better field electricians. Being an effective troubleshooter, is one of the more difficult things to teach an employee as it requires a lot of experience due to the many different issues one may come across. As he started to develop the guide, Jesse thought why not tweak it, so it could be used by anyone who is interested? The potential audience includes everyone ranging from homeowners who are interested in electrical problems, to field electricians looking to improve their skills.

This guide covers troubleshooting situations that can be found in residential homes including:* Switches* GFCI's* Arc-Fault circuit breakers* Electric Heat* Electrical Panels* Lighting* Basic HVAC systems* Low voltage doorbell, cable, Cat6 wiring* Troubleshooting steps depending on situation* And more.

Top 10 Residential Electrical Issues

If you're buying a new home this guide was created for you. Jesse Kuhlman created this guide after years of having customers email his company their inspection report. Customers would ask for clarification on what the electrical issues meant, what the fixes were, and most importantly what the repair would cost. In this guide you will find Jesse's top 10 electrical issues he has found over his years doing inspections. Jesse narrowed it down to the top 10. Hint: Be on the look out for a volume 2! Each issue / repair will be thoroughly explained using pictures and diagrams, written in a way that is easy to follow. In addition to what the repairs will entail, Jesse included rough estimated costs of each repair based on what his own company charges to make the repairs. Jesse's goal was to create a guide homeowners could hold up side by side with their home inspectors report and gain the much needed insight into the electrical issues. In addition to the top 10 issues, Jesse included a chapter on picking out an electrician in your area to perform your work.
