"I was really concerned knowing I was going to spend thousands of dollars on this project. What a joy to work with a company who was more concerned about me and my project than they are about their interest in it. From the very start, I was quoted a price for what would work best for my residence. They had a chance to try to upsell me but did not even try. I was already familiar with the variety of models. The crews that did the installation were fantastic. Always courteous, always engaging, but always hard working. Coordination with city inspectors and others who had an interest in the project was done extremely well. I really did not even need to be around while the work was done. When it came time for the final payment, the company would not take it until the generator ran a couple of its weekly test cycles and I was completely happy. The owner of the company even helped me with another minor issue I had and would not accept any payment. Besides the workmanship and professionalism this company scored big points in communication. Each time I called or needed a question answered, the owner of the company either called, emailed or texted me very quickly. It seems today, that getting in touch with anyone is a nightmare. Simply put, I would recommend Electrical Service Providers to anyone who need their service. I can assure you they will be my first call for any other projects or services I require. Thanks to Home Advisor for steering me to this company."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

There are many signs it is time to replace an electrical panel, starting with flickering lights. Other tell-tale signals include overheating appliances, light fixtures that cause an electric shock, hissing or crackling from the breaker box, burned or blackened spots near the breaker box, and breakers that trip whenever activating power-hungry appliances like microwaves.

If you find the power cables for your appliances are too short, there are ways to extend them for the cost of just the extra wiring you need. Simply cut and strip your wires, solder them together, and cover them using heat shrink tubing. Not everyone has a soldering tool on hand, so if you’re looking to extend in a pinch, an extension cord, power bar, or surge protector can do the job just fine.

240V is the standard for more demanding appliances in the United States, whereas 220V is more common elsewhere. The voltage isn’t very different in any practical sense. The United States is a newer country compared to many other regions in the world with a faster adoption of new electrical needs. Appliances in the United States are often bigger than other parts of the world.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.

Before you start doing anything else, you must call your electric company to confirm their process. It is technically their meter that you’re moving, so there’s really no such thing as free rein. Moving the meter generally involves disconnecting power from the utility company, disconnecting the cables that run into your electrical panel, and dismounting the meter assembly. Once uninstalled, a handyperson will remount and reconnect the wiring in its new location.
