"It is so refreshing to meet someone who takes pride in their work, is honest and genuine. Eric just installed an EV Wall Charger in my multi unit building. I got quotes from several electricians and finally found an honest electrician. I say this because I was an electrical apprentice when I was a teenager and have a good understanding about what's involved in electrical work and there are quite a few hustlers out there taking advantage of the EV craze happening in SoCal. Eric at Cutting Edge Electric was by far the most honest, knowledgable, courteous and professional. He was flexible in dealing with my building management and the hiccups we ran into with them and even rescheduled the install appointment to accommodate the building management. Every step of the process was great and the install was smooth and fast. I highly recommend Eric."

He has done many projects for me including new outlets, installing lighting and replacing an entire electrical panel. Each and every project was done with care and the highest level of skill. He is an expert electrician."

"I recently had my aging electrical panel upgraded from 100 amps to 200 amps by Electrical Bzzz and its owner, Robert Davtyan, along with his crew. They did a fantastic job! Additionally, Robert helped resolve an issue in my home caused by an electrical circuit break that affected half of the house. His years of experience enabled him to diagnose and fix the problem quickly at no extra charge. One of the key points I want to emphasize is that Robert Davtyan is an honest and hard-working individual. He truly goes above and beyond, even when dealing with strict city ordinances like those enforced in Camarillo. He also matched the stucco paint perfectly, which was a bonus. The inspection passed with flying colors. I highly recommend Electrical Bzzz to anyone in need of an electrical panel upgrade. Their prices are the most competitive in Ventura County! Below are before and after pictures."

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.

Your heating and cooling systems cost you the most on your electric bill and make up 50% of your bill on average. Your washing machine, dryer, oven, and stove contribute significantly to your electric bill as well. Lights, fans, and smaller electronics add up, but aren’t the biggest energy consumers. You can reduce your power usage by setting optimal temperatures on your thermostat and investing in energy-efficient appliances.

Incorrectly wiring a single-pole switch results in the connected light or device not turning on or tripping the circuit breaker. Although it doesn't matter which terminal the hot wire and the load wire connect to, mixing up a circuit wire with a ground or having loose connections can prevent the switch from working. 

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

If you strictly adhere to electrical safety rules, including assuming that a circuit is hot until proven otherwise, and have some knowledge of how an electrical circuit works, you can likely replace a light switch by yourself without too much trouble. However, it's always advisable to call a nearby electrical pro to do the job if you're unsure of any steps necessary to change a light switch.
