"Very friendly and professional service. Tim came to my house for an initial consultation. He was very professional and patient and explained everything very well and answered all my questions. I had great confidence I had contacted the right people for the job and that proved to be 100% correct. Josh did EXCELLENT work and is perhaps one of the most polite and respectful people Iâ ve ever met. The whole experience was great and the damage to my walls (caused primarily by movers) disappeared. In fact, I think my walls look better than new! Additionally, he did very clean work. I didnâ t have any dust (from sanding) to cleanup afterward. Itâ s clear that Josh takes great pride in what he does. Iâ ll definitely use 2nd Street Painting for any home repairs or future projects without question. A+++"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, a whole-house surge protector needs a designated breaker in your electrical panel. You will need to choose a double pole breaker that has two wire terminals so that your surge protector can connect to the breaker. This breaker needs two breaker slots inside of your panel. If you do not have room, then you will either need to adjust some of the existing breakers in the panel box or hire an electrician to install a subpanel.

In the United States, home outlets support a standard 15 amps, but you can upgrade per outlet if necessary. Most single-family residential homes have a maximum overall amp rating, usually 100 to 200 amps. Very old houses may have less than 100 amps, but that’s rare. Large homes often come with amp services above 200 amps to support modern lifestyles.

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

An electrician will charge between $100 to $150 to install a new light switch. Whether you need to cut into the wall and repair drywall will determine your final project cost, as you can expect to pay $50 to $75 per square foot to repair drywall.
