"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!"

"Updating this Zinsco electrical panel has been our top priority. Our home inspector warned that the outdated brand has become obsolete and creates a great risk to homeowners due to their faulty circuit breakers. This meant that if our circuit was overloaded or short, the breaker wouldn’t trip, and we would be tackling an electrical fire. We are so grateful to Elias Sugui (@certified_electrical_services) for taking on this project with ease. His calm demeanor and obvious expertise settled our nerves. From inquiry to execution, Elias provided exceptional service and professionalism. We’ll be sleeping much better knowing the job was done by him. We highly recommend reaching out to them for any and all of your electrical needs!"

"Dick and Dave reviewed my plans to install a level 2 electric vehicle car charger in my garage, which included a full rewiring of the entire garage, and installation of a new 20 breaker 200 amp subpanel. Dick was very responsive and was helpful with researching the project design prior to pulling the city permit. Dick provided the written estimate at a reasonable price. They started work immediately once I approved the project. Dick and Dave were very prompt and professional with this installation. I will highly recommend Aloha Solar and Electrical to my friends and family. Mahalo Dick for all your help on my project."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

For a 200-amp underground service, you need a minimum of #2/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper or #4/0 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Don’t forget that, at minimum, you’ll need to use a 1 1/2-inch schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit to successfully run a 200-amp underground service.

You can determine whether you have a double-pole switch by examining its wiring. Unlike single-pole switches, which have two brass-colored terminals, double-pole switches feature four. These switches are typically only found near high-powered appliances such as electric furnaces or water heaters. If you’re unsure what type of switch you have, contact a local electrician to confirm.

When installing an outdoor outlet, it's important to proceed with caution. Unless you have the necessary training and licensure, it's not recommended to attempt this DIY. First, choose a suitable location. Make sure that the area can accommodate the outlet without overloading the circuit. You'll also need to ensure that your project complies with building codes. Next, turn off the power to the circuit, then install and wire the outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the outlet is in place, test it. Lastly, be sure to use a cover that will protect it from moisture and other weather-related damage.

The number of outlets and lights you can safely run on a single circuit depends on the circuit's amperage and local electrical codes. A general rule is to allow one outlet or light fixture per 1.5 amps, keeping the total load under 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. For example, a 15-amp circuit can typically support up to eight outlets or lights, while a 20-amp circuit can accommodate up to ten. Always consider the combined power usage of all connected devices and fixtures to prevent overloading. For specific guidelines and to ensure safety, it is best to consult local electrical codes or a licensed electrician.
