"I recently hired B-Hive Electric to install a Tesla wall charger for my Model 3, and the entire experience was absolutely seamless. I want to give a special shoutout to Chris, who was phenomenal to work with. His communication was stellar from the very beginning—he kept me updated at every step, answered all my questions, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. His professionalism is top-notch; he arrived right on schedule, worked efficiently, and the final installation looks incredibly clean and perfectly routed. The charger is working flawlessly, and the work area was left spotless. If you are looking for a reliable, expert electrician for your EV setup, I cannot recommend Chris and the team at B-Hive Electric enough!"

"Justen did everything that was asked and even took care of fixing our door bell. He swapped out a light fixture, a chandelier, and ran new electrical to install a brand new ceiling fan. He kept the work areas clean and had fair pricing. I would hire him again in the future for any electrical projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, it's possible to have electrical receptacles and overhead lights on the same circuit. The reason is that lights typically use much less power than large appliances, so combining them won't overload your circuit. By doing this, you can distribute the power consumption throughout the breakers in your panel more efficiently, which can be helpful if you have a lot of different electrical devices in your home.

Removing a fuse from the fuse box is relatively safe under normal circumstances. The task becomes dangerous if wires or wire terminals are exposed or in the case of a disaster such as flooding in the home where water can act as an electrical conductor.

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.

Your breaker box houses the breakers that control the circuits in your home, shutting them off if they overload or experience similar problems. Your meter box houses your electrical meter that monitors the electricity flowing into your house and measures its use for your utility company.

In some cases, both components are in the same box, but they don’t have to be together. Many homes have them split, with the breaker box inside for easier access and the electric meter outside.

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.
