With over a decade of electrical experience, I provide reliable, detail-oriented service as a solo electrician. My expertise is in residential work, including service calls, remodels and new construction, with additional experience in light commercial projects. As a smaller company, i focus on quality over quantity, taking on projects that allow me to deliver personal attention and dependable results. I'm committed to clear communication, clean workmanship, and building long-term trust with every customer.

"The only problem I had with NextGen was that the city came to me after the installation and said there was no electrical permit pulled for the job and that the local electric company should have opened our electrical service, not NextGen."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Typically, when a 3-way switch only works when one switch is on, this is one of the most telltale indicators that the switch has gone bad (although this could also be the result of faulty or loose wiring). To diagnose the issue, toggle each switch until the light comes on. Once it’s on, toggle each switch separately again; the switch that doesn’t turn the light off is the bad switch. 

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.

If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.

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.
