"Brandon (Sunrise Electrical) responded next day to my email. Visited job day after, explained replacement and upgrade to main (burned up) panel, current grounding requirements, , and permit process. Submitted bid next day. This type of work may be twice as expensive as youâ re thinking, but you probably need licensed, bonded , etc. with good equipment and crew. We were confident they would do the job as described. They worked hard to prioritize our repairs even though the our county was in the midst of disastrous storms and there were several emergencies they were dealing with concurrently. Their work included exterior stucco around new panel and crawling under house to attach the new ground wire. They compted us a fix of an adjacent gate latch and repair of a suspect circuit in the garage. Will hire again for repairs or upgrades."

A warm greeting to all. My name is Carlos, and I'm an electrician with over six years of experience doing residential and commercial work. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience, and I'm currently studying to obtain my electrical contractor's license. I would be happy to work for you.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.

It’s generally not recommended to run electric to a shed above ground, and you should instead run electric lines underground via a conduit. This job, like all electrical jobs, is best left to a pro, as they’ll need to ensure everything is installed safely and that they don’t run into any other utility lines underground. 

No, wiring does not need to be redone to get a dimmer switch, as they work with single-pole and three-way switches. Just ensure you choose a dimmer that is compatible with your wiring, fixture, and lightbulbs. Most homes built after 1985 have neutral wiring and work with almost all dimmers. If your home was built before 1985 and you don’t have an updated electrical system, you may have to use a non-neutral wiring dimmer.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.
