"There was a buzzing sound coming from an electrical wall panel in my house. I was extremely nervous about the unknown problem and appreciate Hamilton’s electrical prompt response. The issue was resolved. I appreciated their willingness to come out as the office was closing at the end of the day. Kudos to them for the professionalism and concern that they had for the customer. I highly recommend them and will contact them for my upcoming electrical projects!"

"Single Line Electric came to my house to view my need. 2 other companies I called wanted me to send a video of my home showing them my yard from the electrical box to my pool. They obviously didn't want the job. Nery came out and did a thorough assessment of my needs. His quote was reasonable and the project began soon after. I am very pleased with with Single Line Electric"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.

A sump pump can be plugged into a regular, 110-volt outlet with three-prong openings, but it must have GFCI protections per the NEC, meaning you’ll need a GFCI outlet and circuit. Sump pumps require two outlet openings, one for the plug to the motor and one for the float switch.

To fix a tripped light switch, locate your home's electrical panel and identify the tripped circuit breaker. It will be in the "off" or neutral position. Flip the breaker entirely to the "off" position, then switch it back to the "on" position. If the breaker trips again immediately, there may be a short circuit or overload in the system, requiring further investigation. If the switch still doesn't work after resetting the breaker, check for loose wires or faulty components in the switch itself. It is always best to consult a licensed electrician for persistent issues and when in doubt.

If you've ever tried to run your dishwasher while drying your hair, you’ll understand why dedicated circuits are essential for preventing blown fuses. Appliances that require more electricity than the circuit can handle could blow fuses, trip breakers, overheat, and risk an electrical fire. 

Having a dedicated circuit ensures that your appliance gets the current it needs without overloading the other circuits in your home.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.
