"I hired Ken Johnson (Johnson Electric) to correct a number of electrical problems which were identified in a pre-sale home inspection. Among these was a replacement of an unsafe old circuit panel, all new power outlets, conduits and receptacles. Ken provided a quote which was very reasonable. Actual work was performed by two technicians. They arrived on time, completed the job the same day, and left the site in pristine conditioner. We were very satisfied with their work and based on my experience I am happy to recommend Johnson Electric for quality electrical projects in your residence."

"I completely recommend Electric Zone--Definitely earned five stars. They are awesome, very professional and extremely reasonable. I am thrilled with the work they did upgrading and repairing my electric panel and installing my Tesla 14-50 charge station for 50 amps. I have, in the past had bad luck with electricians. That has now changed and I will be recommending and using Electric Zone whenever I have a need for an electrician."

"Ari was very responsive and customer focused. He called me right away and I appreciated that he was willing to give me an approximate cost of the work over the phone. I found him knowledgeable and trustworthy. There were some issues with the wiring because I have an old outdated house and the fan I had purchased was not ideal for the wiring, but he came prepared and installed a remote control that resolved the problem and gave me options for how to use the fan and lighting. Awesome! I asked him for advice about other electrical project I am thinking of doing and he was patient and thorough in giving me advice and provided many options. I will be working with him in the future."

"Wish I could give more than five stars. Who would have ever thought an electrician would have such a great sense of humor. Haven't ever met one that made me cry from laughter until today. If you can work with Tony you will have the best experience. He was definitely dog approved, my dog wanted to play with him instead of letting him work. Golden Electric is defiantly going to be stored as a preferred contact, for any electrical work in home in the future :)"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month).

There are a few telltale signs that it’s time for a replacement. You should consider an upgrade if:

  • Your panel is over 25 years old

  • You’re adding a new electrical system

  • Your current system doesn’t offer the power you need

  • Your home is a jungle of power strips

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.
