"I had multiple electrical jobs that needed to be done in an older house. I'm used to having work done by contractors and he was by far the best experience I've had. He was able to take on all three jobs that I needed done. His work is excellent. He was prompt, courteous and let me know everything that needed to be done. He upgraded the electrical service in the house, installed new circuits and electrical outlets, repaired some old wiring issues, and replaced all the track lighting with recessed units. I would say he went above and beyond with what needed to get done. I absolutely recommend Brandon for any electrical work you need done. I will certainly use him for any future projects that I need done."

"I hired Peter to replace an electrical panel in my aunt's condo. He responded immediately, was professional, knowledgeable and very accommodating with his schedule so I could get the job done while my aunt was hospitalized. His team of two young men were extremely polite and neat and cleaned up so well that you would never have known they worked there. I would highly recommend and hire PW DiMasi Electrical again. They went above and beyond my expectations."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

For a 200-amp underground service, you need a minimum of #2/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper or #4/0 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Don’t forget that, at minimum, you’ll need to use a 1 1/2-inch schedule 40 or 80 PVC conduit to successfully run a 200-amp underground service.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician with extensive experience in upgrading electric panels, you must hire a professional for any electrical work. A licensed electrician will make sure your breaker is upgraded safely and in compliance with local codes. Your pro will also take care of any permits and inspections that are needed.

Local electricians with experience in your area understand the local building codes, which is very important when doing new electrical work. They also have experience with the kind of electrical problems homes in your location may have, and even the components that were used in the original construction, which leads them to make faster and better decisions.

Single switch installs are quick DIY projects, but you should consider enlisting the help of a pro for more complicated replacements—like a smart switch or if you live in an older home with outdated wiring. Professional electricians are trained in the latest code regulations. They are also insured, licensed, and bonded.
