"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 There were some issues with the wiring because I have an old outdated house and the fan I had purchased was not ideal for the wiring, but he came prepared and installed a remote control that resolved the problem and gave me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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can tell if a breaker is GFCI by looking for a red or yellow test and reset button that you can press in and out. You’ll know if an outlet is GFCI if the red reset button is located in between the two pronged sections.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

Just like apples in a bunch, one bad outlet can cause other outlets to stop working. This is especially true if the outlets are connected in a series on the same circuit. When one outlet develops a fault, it can spread to every outlet downstream of the original.

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.

Electrical fires are unique from other fire types because they have the potential to deliver electric shocks in addition to being on fire. Avoid serious injury from possible electrical emergency situations by avoiding the use of water, foam-based fire extinguishers, wet-chemical fire extinguishers,  flour, or baking powder to put out an electrical fire.
