"I recently hired Doug with True Line Electric to install a Level 2 EV charger for my wife's Tesla, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the beginning, Doug took the time to explain the installation process and answer all of our questions. What really stood out was his knowledge and attention to detail. He pointed out several areas where people cut corners and explained the potential safety issues those shortcuts can create. That level of expertise gave my wife and I complete confidence that the charger was being installed safely and correctly. In addition to the EV charger, Doug also installed a couple of Nest security cameras for us. As with the charger installation, the work was clean, professional, and done right the first time. If you're looking for an electrician who is knowledgeable, honest, and takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Doug and True Line Electric. We'll definitely be calling him again for future electrical projects."

"10/10 would highly recommend. After struggling and multiple attempts to have a chandelier and sconces installed, Joe immediately came to the rescue. He and his team were beyond professional and the communication and scheduling were a breeze. Our entryway looks amazing and we will absolutely be utilizing their services in the near future!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

In general, 200 amps is enough for a house with a square footage of up to 1,800, or the average three-bedroom home. A 200-amp service allows your home to warm and cool itself while running multiple appliances at once. It's a good option for homes that have been extended, or after adding new appliances. 200-amp service is the current standard for homes, so in most cases, it will work for you.

While you might not need to put lights and outlets on separate circuits, some local codes may require that you use separate circuits. Installing a separate circuit helps prevent total darkness in your home when your receptacle outlets take on too much power and blow a fuse or trip the breaker. It also costs less and is easier to simply install a new circuit.

Track lighting typically needs to be hardwired, connecting directly to the electrical wiring in your ceiling for a permanent and reliable power source. Hardwiring provides a clean and professional look with no visible cords. However, plug-in track lighting options can be connected to a standard electrical outlet, offering easier installation and flexibility. The choice between hardwired and plug-in track lighting depends on your needs, preferences, and existing electrical setup.

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.
