"Jonathan installed my Emporia Pro charger in my garage, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, he was quick to respond, offered a fair price, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was punctual, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. As someone who is new to EVs and home charging requirements, I had a lot of questions. Jonathan patiently answered every one of them and explained everything in terms that were easy to understand. His knowledge, attention to detail, and excellent customer service gave me complete confidence that the job was being done right. The installation turned out great, and I have absolutely no regrets choosing him for this project. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for EV charger installation or electrical work. I will definitely be calling him again for future projects!"

"I needed someone to take my utilitarian needs for a safe, weatherproof, predator proof, easy to clean out and aesthetically pleasing chicken coop, run and nest boxes. I didn’t have exact plans but just things it had to included. Stephan went above and beyond to make the coop so strong, I swear you could pass building code and rent it out. lol. Mahalo Stephan and crew"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The purpose of pigtail wiring is to connect multiple wires to a single terminal on a device. Pigtailing involves splicing a short length of wire, called a pigtail, into the multiple wires that need to be connected. The pigtail wire is then connected to the single terminal on the device, allowing all of the wires to be connected at once. This practice helps to simplify the wiring process, reduce clutter, and ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.

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.

How far you can run underground electric depends on the wire gauge (generally AWG) and the circuit voltage. Too much voltage drop in an electrical circuit can negatively affect performance, so the smaller the voltage drop, the better. Ideally, it shouldn't exceed 3%. The smaller the wire and the longer the run, the more significant the voltage drop. 

For example, with a 120-volt circuit, you can run 60 feet of 12 AWG cable without losing more than 3% voltage. With a 240-volt circuit, you can run 120 feet of 12 AWG wire while maintaining a voltage drop of 3% or less.

Installing a circuit breaker is best handled by a local professional electrician. This project requires following strict electrical codes, and might even involve permits. Not only can electrical work be dangerous, but without the proper training that a pro will have, you could cause further damage to your home’s electrical system.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
