"Mr. Klaus arrived at my house within 2 hours of calling. He made me aware of everything he had to check out and the possibilities of what could be wrong. Within a very short amount of time he was letting me know what he found and what he would have to do to fix the problem. He gave me different options and recommended the best solution to me. By the end of the day my kids had electricity back in their bedrooms and it did not cost me anywhere near what most other companies quoted me to even come and diagnose the issue. I recommend Resolute Electric to everyone out there reading this! Absolutely the most knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt company I have had to deal with in any of my home repairs."

The house is in fact grounded and there is no longer a problem with this electrical issue. Thank you for Mike’s quick response and expertise in resolving the situation. Highly recommend them for your electrical needs!"

"Due to the recent blizzard in Somerset County electric service was lost at a house I own in Marion. I only learned Sunday (3-1-26) that the power company couldn't hook up the electric until an electrician had pulled the main entrance cable and replaced the casing for the meter. By 9 am Monday, I had a call back from Brandon at Legendary (410-726-9087) who was at the house very quickly. The work was done perfectly by a master electrician, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I recommend Legendary highly. - Joanna"

"I hired W B Lighting Rods/William Burden to install lightning rods on my home. I spoke to William on a Monday and by Thursday before 1 PM the lightning rods were installed on my home. William explained everything he was going to do before he did it. The lightning rods were affordable and most of all it gives me peace of mind knowing that my home is protected against lightning strikes and fire damage. I couldnâ t be happier with this company!!"

"Mike got my washing machine going saved me from having to buy another one! Soooo stressed out with laundry piling up. He saved us and got it running again same day he came out. There were a few other small items I was stressing about, he asked and completed them for me too! Oven light-replaced, washing machine-fixed, worth every penny! You can't buy kindness or efficiency, Mike was professional, quick, and kind. I will be calling Mike first for whatever the next thing is."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Moving an electrical meter in your home depends on what your electric utility company allows. If you only want to move it a few inches, that may be no problem or only incur light fees. If you want to move it a significant distance, you may need to arrange a utility inspection and get permission, or your utility company may prevent it altogether.

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. 

Volts and watts aren’t directly convertible units—they measure different aspects of electricity. Volts measure electrical potential, while watts quantify the power. The relationship between the two is defined by the equation: Power (watts)= Voltage (volts) x Current (amperes). In other words, the product of volts and amps results in watts, but there is no fixed conversion of volts into watts.

Type S or T fuses don’t require any special removal or installation tools. However, replacing a cartridge-style fuse is easier and safer when using a fuse-puller tool. All of these tools should be available anywhere you can buy fuses.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.
