"Ric is an intelligent, hardworking, and thorough solar installer/business owner with a deserving team. I’ve been having issues with my system since installation 3 years ago. Gonna skip the story and just tell you that Ric fixed a botched install by a company that cons people, and a city inspector that signs off on anything. For 3 years, it’s been over $25k in true-up charges… I now have a fully functioning system with a battery backup, and I can monitor it all on my phone or computer. Ric told me what needed to be done, gave me a fair quote and a time frame: he nailed it!! Thank you Ric, your team, and I hope you get the business that you deserve. Sincerely, GR"

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"I highly recommend Tony & Sons Electric for their exceptional service. The team exceeded expectations with their professionalism and efficiency. They ran power to my gate, fixed power issues in my second house, replaced a breaker box, installed new lights, and added two exterior plugs, all flawlessly executed. Each task was handled with precision and the work areas were kept clean. I appreciate the warranty provided, adding an extra layer of trust. If you need reliable and high-quality electrical services, Tony & Sons Electric is the go-to company. Thank you, make sure to ask for Edgar, it was an outstanding experience."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Short circuits can cause fires, electrical burns, and electrocution, which can lead to serious injury or even death. That’s why it’s important to take preventative measures to prevent short circuits, like getting annual electrical maintenance and an electrical inspection every two to five years, depending on the age of your home.

Technically, an outdoor outlet can be on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, but it's generally not recommended. Outdoor outlets should ideally be on a dedicated circuit that doesn't share power with other indoor or outdoor outlets. This helps ensure that the outdoor outlets are able to handle the additional electrical load without overloading the circuit. Additionally, outdoor outlets are often exposed to the elements, which can increase the risk of electrical shock and other hazards. If you must have an outdoor outlet on the same circuit as an indoor outlet, be sure that the circuit has the capacity to handle the additional load.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.

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.
