"I needed an electrical outlet under my bath vanity in order for the plumber to install a point of use tankless water heater. Mark was quick to respond with a quote that was much less expensive than another electrician and didn't need the extra "fluff" that I would have been charged. Came on time and the work was done with precision (the plumber even admired the work!) :-)"

"Time Kyle electric sent an extremely proficient technician to my house. Justin and the other technician (sorry I can't recall his name) where professional, friendly and best of all fixed my electrical issues so I can have lighting in my bathrooms and hallway. They explained to me what needed to be done and were able to reroute the wiring for success. I am extremely happy and the technicians are awesome."

Customers say: Quality work

"From start to finish, Long Electric had our backs. We didn't have to hire sub-contractors or to obtain permits -- Long Electric took care of everything. Our go-to person in the main office, Melissa, answered all of our questions and kept us apprised of everything we needed to know. Everyone we had contact with throughout the installation project treated us with the utmost in professionalism. Not only will I call upon them for future electrical needs, I have referred Long Electric to a friend who is also interested in a whole house generator."

"I had a wonderful experience with Electrical Connections. My project ended up being much larger than I anticipated it would be and they were excellent at explaining everything and helping me understand what needed to be done. Customer service was top notch and clearly a priority for everyone I talked to from the scheduler to the owner of the company. Brian was excellent and stayed until the job was done even though it made an extra long day for him. Highly recommended!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

The number of outlets and lights you can safely run on a single circuit depends on the circuit's amperage and local electrical codes. A general rule is to allow one outlet or light fixture per 1.5 amps, keeping the total load under 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. For example, a 15-amp circuit can typically support up to eight outlets or lights, while a 20-amp circuit can accommodate up to ten. Always consider the combined power usage of all connected devices and fixtures to prevent overloading. For specific guidelines and to ensure safety, it is best to consult local electrical codes or a licensed electrician.

Homeowners should avoid replacing a circuit breaker without turning it off. While you technically can replace a circuit breaker without turning off the main breaker—and professionals can and do—it’s only safe for electricians to use this process. Working with a live panel is extremely dangerous if you don’t have experience working with electricity. Always follow safety measures to avoid electrical shock.

A 100 amp electrical service panel can't convert into a 200 amp panel simply by switching the breakers or adding circuits. Upgrading from 100 to 200 amps typically requires replacing the circuit box and updating the electrical service coming into the house. Your electrician will handle the details of the project to ensure a safe and thorough installation.

You should always turn off a breaker whenever electrical work is being done. This step can prevent electrical shock and injury. Also, if a breaker is repeatedly tripping, it can mean there is an electrical overload, and it should be shut off. You should contact an electrician to figure out the cause. Make sure to review how to turn off your circuit breaker safely if you do it yourself, and follow safety precautions to avoid severe injuries.
