"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."

"We selected David and his team over 4 other electrical firms for his comprehensive bid, service and price. It was a complex job including a new box for a nex kitchen bath laundry living and bedroom. He came up with a great non invasive plan that laid the lines without disrupting current service at a cost that saved thousands. We then expanded the job to include fans and track lighting. He fixed all of the code issues with our old system. He and his team was on time responsive honest and competent. Would recommend I conditionally"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You should never plug a normal 120v appliance into a special 240v outlet, as it can quickly burn out the appliance. This will cause irreparable damage to the appliance and, in worse case scenarios, cause damage to your circuit breaker. Check your appliance’s rating before plugging it into a 220v outlet to avoid electrical disaster.

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. 

If you have a lamp that flickers or doesn’t stay on, it’s a sign that it’s time to rewire it. Additionally, it’s important to rewire antique lamps so they’re safe to continue using without the risk of an electrical fire. If the plug on your lamp is more than 15 years old or you notice poor performance like flickering, you should hire a lamp repair service to rewire it. If you’re upgrading the bulbs in an antique lamp from incandescent to LED or CFL bulbs, rewire it so it’s compatible with the modern bulbs.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

The cost to install or replace a circuit breaker depends on the price of the unit itself and the complexity of the installation. A new circuit breaker typically costs between $10 and $100, with standard breakers being the most affordable and GFCI or AFCI types costing more. If you are upgrading to a higher amperage, a 200-amp circuit breaker can cost between $250 and $350. The average total cost for professional installation is around $700, but this price varies. A simple replacement into existing wiring will cost less than a more complex project that requires opening walls, running new wires, and securing permits.
