"Had need of an electrician after one of the rooms in my house completely lost power and I couldn't get it back on. I call a few other companies and the earliest they could see me was over a week. I called Payne Electric on the recommendation and they had a technician out within two hours. My technician, Frank, was considerate, knowledgeable, and walked me through exactly what was wrong, and within two hours my power was fixed and Frank was on his way. Payne Electric will certainly be my go-to company for electric work in the future"

"It was time to sell our house and almost every dimmer switch (the dial kind) was broken. Brion went in and changed every one of them. He also changed ceiling fans. He then changed outlets in some locations to those that include electric outlets and USB outlets. When the inspector said we needed the GFI plugs, Brion told me to point out the breaker in the breaker box was what we needed. The inspector had missed that and then agreed with Brion."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Window ACs use 500 to 1,400 watts per hour of electricity, while mini-splits use 500 to 700 watts per hour. However, if you need to cool multiple zones in your house, your mini-split can use as much as 2,000 watts per hour. How often you run your system will impact how much electricity you use (and how much you pay per month).

If you’re someone who likes to tinker around the house and make DIY repairs, a multimeter or voltmeter can be a great tool to have around, especially if you’re comfortable with electrical repairs. That said, if working with electricity feels out of your depth, you don’t need to invest in a multimeter. Reach out to an electrical pro for any electrical work you need done if any part of you is hesitant about a project.

Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they’re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, gas water heaters versus electric water heaters may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.

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.

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.
