How can I detect if my electrical panel is overloaded?

• <div><p>There are several indications of an overloaded electrical panel, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/electricians-explain-why-circuit-breakers-trip.htm">frequent circuit breaker tripping</a>, burn marks, or flickering or dimming lights.</p><p>If you’re observing any warning signs, turn the circuit breaker off, then shift some devices from the overloaded circuit to a different one. If there are still signs of overload after turning the circuit break back on, contact a professional electrician to help you fix the issue.</p></div>

Q: Do pellet stoves require a lot of electricity to operate?

• <div><p>Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.</p></div>

Q: How far from the door should a light switch be?

• <div><p>A light switch should be at least 2 inches from the edge of the trim of a door. The location of wall studs will often help determine where to put the light switch by your doorway, and in most cases, wall studs make it impossible to install the switch closer than 2 inches. When possible, try to keep the switch within arm&rsquo;s length of the entryway.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to replace my current electrical panel if I upgrade to 300-amp service?

• <div><p>Usually, your house panel is one of the key components that must be replaced when upgrading your amp service. In many cases, you will also need to upgrade your meter base as well as other electrical components.</p></div>

Q: Do garage heaters need their own breaker?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough. We bought a house built in 1957, and the last remodel had been done sometime in the 70's. We completely gutted the main floor and attic to studs, and rebuilt from there. New layout, the whole deal. Ward did a complete rewire, new panel, data lines,...
