"My experience with Zero Electric was great! James was extremely knowledgeable about home generators and walked us through several pricing options that fit our budget. Their work was clean and efficient and I will definitely be hiring him in the future for our electrical issues."

"Eddie, Issac and Luis were great. They had a major repair to do to my Solar system. Showed up on time explained the process and what to expect. They were so professional during the whole job. They went above and beyond for me. Made sure the work area was cleaned. Picked up after themselves before leaving... my system is up and running once again, wow what a relief. Finally a company that gets Customer Service which is really lacking and in short supply out there these days. Thanks guys, good job I hope I dont have to use you again soon but if I do it will be you. Louis P."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

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.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire. 

No, it doesn’t matter which of the two wires goes on each of the two switch terminals. Just be sure to put the ground wire in the correct terminal. The ground wire is either green, bare copper, or green with a yellow stripe. The other wires are hot wires and are typically black. They can be used interchangeably.

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.
