Glory Electric is your full service electrical contractor. Whether it's a panel upgrade or custom lighting project - Randy's quality work and customer service is unmatched. Call him today!

"Hired to install electric for a pool. His estimate was higher than others. I had used him to replace exterior light bulbs in the past and thought I could trust him to perform quality work. Terrible work. Installed an old beat up discolored post to put exterior outlet on. The outlet had screws barely in the wood on one side. He was provided with the county rules and still placed the post too close to the pool. He used the cheapest, poor quality material possible, cut through my drainage pipes next to my house without even asking if he could, and left without finishing the job. I had to hire another company to finish the job and fix what he messed up. Home owners beware. If it is anything beyond replacing light bulbs, I would not hire him."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

No. Do not use a 14-gauge wire on a 20-amp outlet. A certified licensed electrician would know that the National Electrical Code (as per Section 240.4(D) subsection 3) requires 14-gauge wires to be used with a maximum amplitude of 15. Therefore, you should only use 12-gauge wires on 20-amp outlets.

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.

If a 3-way switch is wired incorrectly, this can cause several issues. The most common problem is that the switches will not function properly: Either both switches won’t work, or only one will. Another issue is that one switch will trigger a short circuit, tripping the circuit breaker.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.
