"Updated bathroom electrical during remodeling. They came the day after I called them for an estimate for 1 hour of work and completed it immediately. Also gave me an estimate for a household generator. I would hire them again."

"5-Star Review for First Call Appliance Repair I couldn’t be more impressed with my experience at First Call Appliance Repair. If you're looking for top-quality appliances at unbeatable prices, this is the place to go. I was initially hesitant about buying a scratch and dent item, but Derek walked me through everything with transparency and professionalism. Not only were the cosmetic imperfections barely noticeable, but the appliance itself works flawlessly—just like new. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find the perfect fit for my home and budget. What has stood out the most, I had a problem with my washer and Derek had it fixed within 24 hours. Where else can you purchase or have repairs done other than First Call Appliance Repair? Highly recommend First Call Appliance Repair for anyone looking for value, honesty, and excellent service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes. You should always turn off the power to the work area before beginning, use a voltage tester to ensure it’s off, and wear protective gear, such as insulated gloves or safety glasses, to prevent risk of injury. Proper wiring and grounding techniques are also necessary to make sure the job is done right the first time and won’t harm any future homeowners. 

Yes, you can use a 3/0 AWG wire for a 200 amp service, but only if it is made of copper, as 3/0 copper wire has an allowable ampacity of 225 amps. If you are using aluminum or aluminum copper-clad wire, you need to use at least 4/0 AWG.

It prevents electrical surges, protects your home from things like electrical fires, and prevents you from getting shocked if an errant surge runs through your power line. Without grounded wires, your appliances could also get damaged during lightning storms.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

Smart meters send the readings over a wireless wide area network (WAN) to the power company. This network allows sending small amounts of data slowly over long distances, which is perfect for smart meter readings that occur monthly. If you would prefer a smart meter, contact your power company and consider springing for the cost of replacing your electric meter.
