"Single Line Electric just finished a complete rewire of our home, and we could not be more satisfied with their work! I know very little about the electrical field, and Nery patiently explained the project to me in laymanâ s terms. He provided options so I never felt pressured into one choice, and his quote was fair. Nery and his crew are professionals through and through. They treated our home with care, and when they finished the job it was as if no one was ever here. Except for the fact that all of our lights and outlets work correctly, and we can sleep easy knowing our home wonâ t burn down because of old faulty wiring in the walls! Our home is old and big, so we didnâ t trust this massive project to just anyone. We are so happy we found Single Line Electric, and we would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone for any size project!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

An estimate for electrical work should include an estimated number and an estimated price to complete the work. An electrical estimate should also include a description of the services to be provided as well as the materials to be used, such as wiring, switches, panels, or other items, and the cost for those materials. If any tax is charged, that should appear on the estimate, too. Some estimates may include additional options that can be added to the base price of the quoted job if the customer chooses to go ahead with the add-ons.
