"I needed someone to replace a faulty closet light. Rob from Heiser Electric called me right away. He was very nice and quoted a reasonable price. The job was quickly done the next day. I wish I'd discovered Heiser Electric years ago. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Over the past two years, I have hired Affordable Electrical Repair to complete three electrical projects for me. Affordable Electrical Repair did quality electrical work at my home, and they cleaned any mess they made. Recently, they rewired my kitchen, completing the project sooner than promised and under budget! I also had Affordable Electrical Repair work on a cordless drill/driver. They repaired and rebuilt it, and the drill/driver works great. I highly recommend Affordable Electrical Repair."

"J&M Electric was great! They updated my electric panel box, fixed some light switches, and installed a beautiful chandelier/ceiling fan and new light fixtures outside. The whole team was professional and courteous. The fees for all the work done was fare! I recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done and will use them again when the need arises!"

"I reached out to Master Systems Electric to help with a small project. I actually came across them on Angi List and immediately they responded to me. After receiving a phone call I sent them some photos and they were able to get to me the next business day. They were very respectful and also respectful of the property. They listen to my concern and went over a few things with me that could contribute to the problem I was having. What I like is they didnt try to upset me on anything or try to make me pay for an arm and a leg for something that wasnt needed. They made it simple and talked to through the whole process. I would use them in the near future for sure. They were able to help me out and also give me some things to consider."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you’ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.

Wiring an outlet can be done safely by someone with the proper knowledge and tools, but it can also be dangerous if not done correctly. If you're not comfortable working with electrical systems, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to do the job for you. That way, you can rest assured that your outlet will be rewired safely and quickly. 

GFCI outlets should be clearly labeled with LINE and LOAD labels, with arrows leading to the proper terminals. The line terminals are typically at the top, and the load terminals are typically at the bottom.

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.
