"Excellent EV Charger Installation I had an EV charger installed at my home, and I’m very happy with the work. The electrician was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the installation safely and efficiently. All connections were done properly, the work area was kept clean, and everything was clearly explained to me before and after the job. The charger works perfectly, and the installation meets all electrical code requirements. I would highly recommend this contractor to anyone needing EV charger installation or other electrical work."

"If you are looking for someone to install your landscape lighting there is NO ONE else you should call than Vivid. I mean, I had them install lights for me and of course it was during the day so I couldn t see the amazing magnitude of the excellent work that Nicolas and his crew had done; but let me tell you when it got dark and those lights came on I cannot even express to you how beautiful it is it s like a fairy land. I couldn t have even imagined that it would be this beautiful. I literally started crying and thanking God for something this beautiful. This is even prettier than I could have envisioned. When you hire this company you will be so pleased. I guarantee it. I don t normally write reviews, but my yard is beautiful, the work is excellent. Call Nicolas at Vivid Landscape Lighting - it will be one of the best decisions you will ever make!!"

"When I had first reached out to them and it was after hours and left a message and Ben called back the next morning and in one hour, Ben and Kevin came in the door, assessed the mess with all the old wiring, presented their very fair estimate and the next day they here on time, completed the work on the estimate and all in proper working condition. Did I mention they were, ON TIME, and COMPLETED THE WORK without excuses Ben and Kevin exceeded, my approval, in the standards of excellent work ethics?"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A full home inspection can cost nearly $350 on average, but inspecting the breaker box specifically is likely to be lower, between $100 and $200. Don’t confuse this service with a basic breaker trip check, which doesn’t take long and is usually billed at $40 to $50 per hour.

If the electrician discovers a serious problem and needs to replace a breaker, it can cost between $100 and $200 in additional expenses. Although rare, replacing the electrical panel typically costs between $500 and $2,000.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

A water heater is one of the heaviest hitters in your home, and it needs as much power as possible to help it run efficiently and effectively.

Your water heater should be on its own dedicated circuit breaker, with no other power sources running to it. This is required to meet the National Electric Code–and to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible.

While most electrical items can be plugged into a GFCI outlet, some appliances with internal or stationary motors, such as refrigerators, vent fans, and fluorescent lighting, can cause nuisance tripping. This happens because they experience a small, normal amount of current leakage, which can cause the GFCI to trip even when the appliance is working correctly. Although this is not a safety hazard, it can be inconvenient and may cause the GFCI outlet to wear out faster. For this reason, it is often better to plug these types of appliances into a standard outlet. Additionally, electrical circuits over 100 feet long can sometimes cause tripping. Some appliances, like hair dryers, have their own built-in GFCI protection, so connecting them to a standard outlet is fine.

The most common type of electrical outlet is a 3-prong outlet, which has two flat blades (one is wider than the other) and a round grounding pin. Older homes typically have 2-prong outlets that aren’t as safe as more modern options and are generally not up to current electrical codes.  Other outlets you can find in your home include 20A, 125 volt varieties for larger appliances like refrigerators or washing machines. 

There are also GFCI outlets, which protect against electrical shock in wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens, and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) outlets, which protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.
