"George Poulo runs an extraordinary electrical company. He actually returns calls, keeps appointments, finishes work on time. Poulo was hundreds of dollars less than the next lowest quote. This was no small job, it involved a complete upgrade to breakers from fuses, and 200 Amps service. I was highly satisfied and would recommend."

Customers say: True professional

"Travis did an excellent job on our somewhat extensive remodel project, coordinating effectively and efficiently with the rest of the team. I totally enjoyed working with him. He is consistently responsive and always appears at the appointed time with the necessary gear and materials. He is clear in his communications, reliable, well organized, proficient, thorough and was patient with my questions. His price was entirely reasonable. Calm and competent, Travis is entirely pleasant in his business dealings. I recommend him without reservation."

"Preston was great to work with! He was quick to respond to my request for a quote and was at the house three days later to complete all of the work. He installed a hybrid car charger, fixed some outlets, installed a new thermostat and answered all my questions with patience and knowledge. Preston is incredibly friendly, worked so hard and I won’t hesitate to recommend him to family and friends and anyone else asking me if I know a good electrician!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

Typically, refrigerators should not be plugged into GFCI outlets. This is another appliance with a motor that can be prone to a little current leakage. Using a standard outlet saves nuisance tripping and the potential of waking up to a refrigerator full of warm food. The only exception is when the refrigerator is in a garage, where all outlets must be GFCI.

Ultimately, the best device depends on what you’re measuring. A voltmeter only measures volts, while a multimeter measures volts, current, resistance, humidity, and possibly much more, depending on the model. If you think you’ll need to measure more than volts, consider investing in a multimeter so you have a tool that can help you with various household projects.

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.

It’s a great idea to replace and update outlets, especially if an outlet stops working. New outlets work well with modern appliances and devices. Over time, outlets become old and worn—they can even become damaged, cracked, and burnt if the wiring is old and outdated. Old outlets and wiring can cause smoke, sparks, flickering lights, and an electrical fire.
