"An impressive company. Peter really pulled thru for us in a time constrained situation. This is a very honest company. In the process of selling our house, we thought we needed a new electrical panel. Peter told us "no". He could correct the panel and then connect the new electric water heater. His men Sergi and David worked diligently until they were finished. Regional inspection passed like a breeze. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. They are honest, professional, polite, experienced electricians, and the price was very fair for the work performed."

"Great experience with AJC electric, they did a superb job. We are so happy with the work that they did; they showed up on-time, took their time to answer all of our questions. It is refreshing to find someone that really puts the customer first, they take pride in the work that they do, are honest and reliable. They installed recessed lighting in our living room & kitchen, under cabinet lighting, pendant lights and dimmer switches. Thank you Adam & James!!"

"Overall a good experience for troubleshooting a problem. A little expensive for the amount of time spent. Problem was either with appliance or electric circuit and they checked the electric circuit but missed problem with electrical connection to the appliance later found by an appliance repair person."

"Jesse reviewed the circuit breaker issue that I was having. He fully understood the problem and let me know what the options were. He advised me that it was something that I could do myself, but I chose to have him do it, as he offered a very reasonable price and I felt I'd rather have a professional do the job. He was most pleasant to work with. I will keep his info in case I have any other electrical problems in the future. I recommend Persistence Electric to anyone having electrical problems."

"I spent 40 years in the construction industry as a general contractor. I'd rate American Electric among the top 5 electrical companies I've ever worked with. Professional service, extensive knowledge of the trade and current codes, and real value for service. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat."

"I hired Adam to install a light fixture to go over my pool table. I should mention that Adam is a Master Electrician. He does EXCELLENT work at a very reasonable price!!! I used to use bigger contractors to do all my electrical work [usually an apprentice was sent out]. Adam did a fantastic job. I will use only Adam for all my electrical work from now on. He is very professional and honest. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks me. The fact that Adam is a Master Electrician and does the work made me feel very comfortable that the job would be done right. He is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

Upgrading your amp service could possibly be a solution to tripped breakers. Circuit breakers in an electrical panel trip as a safety measure when something goes wrong with the current, and that’s often caused by plugged-in devices trying to draw too much current. Replacing the electrical panel with a new model and new breakers designed for higher amps can fix this problem.

If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.

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.
