Prior to branching out on my own, I spent four years working under a master electrician installing Tesla Powerwalls (Batteries), EV chargers, Outlets, New Circuits, and Solar Arrays. I owe everything to my mentors. I was taught to never cut corners, respect the customer’s wishes, and treat every install like a masterpiece. My primary areas of expertise are EV charger installs and dedicated circuit installs (hot tub outlets, generator outlets, freezer outlets, etc.)

"Superior job with full satisfaction done on time and on budget, thanks to Hayden!😊 If electrical work is needed this is your best opportunity for complete satisfaction!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Let them know exactly what type of job you need them to do, and be as specific as possible to get the most accurate estimate. A photo of your project might help them better understand your needs. Ask what kind of prep you should complete before they visit and what kind of cleanup to expect after the visit. Finally, ask how long the project usually takes.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician with extensive experience in upgrading electric panels, you must hire a professional for any electrical work. A licensed electrician will make sure your breaker is upgraded safely and in compliance with local codes. Your pro will also take care of any permits and inspections that are needed.

First, check the current electrical code in your area to ensure spaces you’re considering meet the requirements. After that, your outlet’s location is up to you. If you’re moving it to hide wiring, you may want to move it in a spot that will also be hidden from view, such as behind a media center or table. As long as you meet the spacing guidelines set by electrical codes, you should be able to pick any spot in your home for an outlet. 

If you strictly adhere to electrical safety rules, including assuming that a circuit is hot until proven otherwise, and have some knowledge of how an electrical circuit works, you can likely replace a light switch by yourself without too much trouble. However, it's always advisable to call a nearby electrical pro to do the job if you're unsure of any steps necessary to change a light switch. 

When selecting a pool heater, it’s important to think not just about the cost of the unit itself but also about how much it costs to run. Expect to pay about $100 per month to run a heat pump pool heater. A natural gas heater will cost twice that amount, while an electric pool heater costs about $250 a month.
