🛠️ HANDYMEN SHOULD NEVER PLAY ELECTRICIAN… ⚡️

We uncovered TWO major hazards on this “quick fix” job 👇

🚨 1. Dangerous Low Voltage
This outlet is reading just 69.8 volts — when it should be 110–120V.

That’s a serious red flag for:
• Loose connections
• A failing or lost neutral
• Deteriorating wiring

Issues like this don’t just affect performance — they can damage appliances and create shock or fire risks.

🔥 2. Undersized Wiring for a Microwave
It gets worse…

The wiring feeding this circuit is not rated for a standard microwave load (typically 10–15 amps).

👉 Microwaves require:
• 12-gauge wire
• Dedicated 20-amp circuit

Anything less is a textbook overheating and fire hazard.

⚠️ Bottom Line
DIY electrical work might seem simple… until it’s not.

Watch for warning signs:
• Flickering lights
• Warm or discolored outlets
• Tripping breakers
• Sluggish appliances

Don’t gamble with your home’s safety.

📞 Call Riley Electric for:
✔️ Proper diagnostics
✔️ Correct wire sizing
✔️ Dedicated circuits
✔️ Code-compliant work

We’ll get it done right — the first time.

💡 Safety isn’t a weekend project.

🚨 The ONE Trade That Can Burn Your House Down… And Why It’s Happening MORE Than Ever

In the age of smart homes, EVs, gadgets everywhere, and non-stop electricity demands…
Homeowners and contractors are slashing costs on electrical rough-ins and finishes like never before.

Handymen. Unlicensed “electricians.” Cheap shortcuts.

It looks fine on the surface… until you see what’s hiding behind the walls and ceilings: open junctions, overloaded circuits, improper wiring that’s just waiting for one spark.

Here’s the scary truth:

Electrical malfunctions cause nearly 47,000 home fires every single year in the US — that’s 13% of ALL home structure fires, hundreds of deaths, and over a billion dollars in damage.
We’ve walked into too many projects at Riley Electric where “budget-friendly” work was a fire hazard waiting to happen.

Your family’s safety isn’t the place to cut corners.

⚠️ IF YOU SEE THIS IN YOUR HOME: Call a pro immediately. ⚠️

We see this all the time—overloaded circuits and 'quick fixes' that are actually major fire hazards.

We want to keep our community safe, so we’re sharing the top 3 red flags to look for behind your walls:
1️⃣ Discolored or warm outlets.
2️⃣ Frequent flickering lights.
3️⃣ That weird 'fishy' smell (usually means plastic is melting!).
