"SSE installed outdoor electric to my shed and new swimming pool. They also wired and connected a pool heater. The quality of work exceeded expectations and more important the customer service and flexibility was great. The permit was delayed and I had to reschedule install dates multiple times The owner of SSE understood and repeatedly told me he â had my backâ and would make sure he could meet the date and permit / city requirements. The job was done on time and within budget. SSE has a new customer for life. I have already scheduled my next job with the company."

"Ralph, and his team, were the first to respond to my request. They were prompt and flexible enough to take care of my entire project. Ralph finished wiring our warehouse and office in hours, not days or weeks. Ralph and his team were timely and professional, and they finished our project ON-TIME and on budget."

"I was pleased with the installation of the lightning rods--communication was great and the work was done quickly. What I wasn't happy with is he quoted me a price that was less then my actual bill was BUT the price was still less then two other contractors bids."

"Ben replaced almost every ceiling light, light fixture, and ceiling fan in our home. He did a huge foyer chandelier to a small sconce. He even figured out how to rewire a broken outdoor post light so that we didn’t need to get a new one. He is professional, friendly, competitively priced, and extremely competent. Hire him for everything!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.

Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.

Upgrading your electrical system can save you money on your monthly utility bills by powering your home more efficiently. Electrification nonprofit Rewiring America estimates that a household could save $1,800 per year on energy bills by upgrading to a modern electric heat pump, switching to a heat pump for their water, installing solar panels on the roof, and converting to an electric vehicle.

An outlet can trip because the circuit it’s on is overloaded, meaning the devices plugged into it are drawing more power than the circuit can safely carry. Another culprit could be because a power surge from a storm or accident caused a problem with your local electrical grid or there’s a short or a fault causing power to run through the circuit in a dangerous or unplanned way.

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.
