"Our power began to flicker and I knew that something was wrong. I looked into several other electricians but Don was willing to come out and give it a look right away. I definitely lucked out finding DJ3 electric. Don figured out the problem, gave me a quote and a timeline, and finished the job ahead of schedule. He kept me appraised of all work being done and even went above and beyond to reassure me and my family that the work would be done efficiently and safely. Our home has a new switch box that looks better than the original one. If youâ re looking for a trustworthy and dependable electrician, youâ ll find one in Don."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While not always necessary, wiring your circuit breaker in a certain way can ease both the installation process and use afterward. For starters, you’ll need to install the electrical panel so that the main service knockout aligns with the cable conduit. If they aren’t aligned, you may not have sufficient working space to finish running the wires. Using cable trays, on the other hand, gives you a bit more freedom to and flexibility in where and which direction you install the wires. At the end of the day, the power flow will be the same whether the cords run up or down.

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.

Yes, wire connectors are the better option for securing splices compared to electrical tape. It is not recommended to use electrical tape as it is not secure enough to keep the splices together. Plus, electrical tape is more vulnerable to damage, which can cause a risk of fire over time.
