"John was professional and thorough. He returned my interest call promptly and came by the next day to do an estimate on outlets for a bathroom and kitchen appliance. On the day of the job, he spent the time to do the job correctly. In researching his fees, I found him fair and competitive with the local market. I am extremely pleased with the quality workmanship on my project. I would highly recommend Abbott Electric, LLC."

"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 Our home inspector warned that the outdated brand has become obsolete and creates a great risk to homeowners due to their faulty circuit breakers.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

Yes, you can put a dimmer on a three-way switch, but it can’t be the same kind of dimmer you’d put on a standard light switch. A three-way switch requires a three-way dimmer. If two switches control a single or multiple lights, then you need a three-way dimmer. The type of light bulb should also be compatible with your fixture and dimmer.

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

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.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.

A duplex outlet simply means that the receptacle has two plug-in outlets for two plugs. It’s a common design choice for homes. The two outlets should be wired identically during installation so the hot side is the same for both.
