"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."

"Tim Gephart (Owner) and his Assistant were awesome. They were courteous, professional, came out exactly when we wanted them, were on time, did a great job installing a new ceiling fan and electrical switch in our dining room and the final invoice came in at the low end of the quoted price range. What more can anybody ask? Highly recommended and will definitely use them again. Thanks so much Tim!"

I submitted my request to Angi's, and within the hour, they not only responded but actually arrived at my house, after their normal work hours, to complete the task. I can only give them my highest rating for not only their professionalism but also their kindness to me. CC, Altadena"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

If a 240V appliance is connected to a 120V outlet, the lower voltage will cause that appliance to receive insufficient power. This may result in reduced performance, malfunctions, or even damage to the appliance's components. Depending on the size of your electrical circuit, you’ll likely need to reset a tripped circuit breaker at the very least.

Modern homes have a lot of devices and appliances running at once. That means there are many different wires and cables throughout the house. Service entrance conductors (also known as service entrance cables or service feed wires) connect the external weatherhead for the utility pole to the circuit breaker box. This is your home’s connection to your local power grid.

To ensure batteries stop charging when they’re full, you’ll need to install a charge controller that determines when the battery is full. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge controller will stop the energy flow or divert the energy to the grid or other appliances. Without a charge controller, the battery may continue to charge, which can lead to less productivity and potential damage.

No, you shouldn’t immediately reset a tripped breaker. If you don’t know what tripped the breaker, resetting it and continuing the actions that set it off could pose a hazard. It also means your breaker will sustain greater damage if it trips again. If you know the cause of your tripped power, unplug faulty appliances or fix the issues, then reset it, and wait a few minutes before using electricity in that circuit.
