"Jeff and his team did an amazing job for my home renovation. They rewired an entire floor, removing then installing all new outlets, wiring for mini-splits, televisions, fixtures, fire/co2 detectors and a new electrical panel. They installed three wall mounted televisions, numerous lighting and fan fixtures with ease. Josh was a beast, crawling around in the attic and getting our new bathroom vents in and making sure all the switches worked together. They put in some late hours to make sure the job was done right. I would highly recommend Jeff and his team for your electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can make a pigtail with either thermoplastic high-heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) wire or non-metallic (NM) cable, often referred to as “Romex.” Each pigtail requires a neutral wire, a ground wire, and a live wire. The gauge of your pigtail wires must match the gauge of those on the device. 

You can reset a breaker several times, but it’s bad for the breaker. Resetting the breaker too many times in a short period can make it overheat and cause damage. That’s in addition to the damage that the multiple overloads do to the circuit. If a breaker is tripping every few minutes, it’s far better to leave it off and call an electrician for an inspection. This also decreases the chances that a short circuit or other issue could cause an electrical fire.

When wondering what size of breaker for a water heater is appropriate, the majority of hot water heaters need a 30-amp, two-pole breaker. Most residential water heaters use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts. If your appliance matches these measurements, a 30-amp breaker is likely perfect. Owners of point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts often find that a 30-amp breaker is adequate. Water heaters that use more watts than average may need a 40-amp breaker. Smaller units that use fewer watts could potentially use a 20-amp breaker.

An electrical fire can start even if nothing is plugged into the outlet. Fires can be caused by faulty wiring, damaged outlet components, or other electrical problems hidden behind the walls. At the first sign of an electrical problem, shut off the breaker and contact an electrician to diagnose and repair the issue.

If you’re wondering whether an electrical panel in the bathroom needs to be moved, the answer is yes. Due to the risks of shocks and electrical fires, electrical panels cannot be located in bathrooms per National Electric Code Volume 70. Additionally, gasses, vapors, liquids, and temperature fluctuations can all compromise the functionality of your electrical panel, so it’s important to install it in a dry, cool, safe, and easily accessible location.
