"Excellent. Called VMA after a snow storm when heavy branches pulled the service weather head and service drop attachment off my house. From the initial call with Cindy, to the same day response, the knowledge and expertise of the two electricians, to final inspection. VMA took excellent care of our electrical emergency. Would highly recommend VMA for any and all electrical projects you may require."

"The Harland Electric team is extremely professional, courteous, and friendly. Jeremy and Jacob installed a chandelier on an 18ft foyer ceiling using a 15ft A-frame ladder and did so without marking up walls or floor. I have a laundry list of electric work to be doled out and Harland will be my first choice."

Jose took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and ensure everything was done correctly. I highly recommend JB Electrical for all your electrical needs."

"We had several estimates from electricians to rewire our electrical panel. We purchased an old house with an outdated breaker that showed historical signs of some type of electrical surge (blackened/melted main breaker - not good). We opted to have the whole panel rewired and the exterior of the house resealed, as water had been getting in due to a cracked seal.

Peter came on time for the estimate. He even made a point to wipe his feet thoroughly on the doormat outside the house, a detail that did not go unnoticed. He was not the least expensive estimate we received, or the most expensive. He made our panel replacement a priority and came within two days to do the repair/replace, as he deemed it a safety hazard. He was thorough, efficient and reasonable.

We also had Peter quote us on installing power and cable above our fireplace for mounting our television, but at $600+ we decided to take that project on ourselves."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Often, you can add extra breakers to an electrical panel. A new breaker can help with new appliance needs, and it’s a common solution when finishing an attic or basement. However, adding extra breakers can’t bring in more amps to your house, so you still need enough amp service to power everything in total. 

Replacing the panel itself takes four to eight hours of work by a professional. However, if associated wiring and related components also require replacement, the labor time increases to 20 to 30 hours. Your electrician can speed up the process by bringing in a team of pros to handle ancillary tasks.

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. 

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.

Each meter should have a serial number printed or engraved on the face of the meter. Make sure the serial number of the meter you are reading matches your account with the power company. If you live in an apartment complex, the meters are likely located all together. Yours should be labeled according to your apartment unit.
