"This was my first Tesla (Model Y) and needed to install the wall connector in my garage. That required running wires from my electric panel in the basement to my garage. In addition I wanted to future-proof to accommodate a second electric car (in future). Ryan was absolutely fantastic from very start to finish. He clearly understood my needs, suggested most appropriate solution/plan and executed the plan to perfection in a timely manner. Quality work at reasonable price. Ryan is a true professional who is quick to respond and a good person that you can trust. I highly recommend Ryan and can vouch for his work."

"We had a top experience with Star Bright Electric and would highly recommend them. From start to finish, they were professional, polite, and easy to work with. They communicated clearly, showed up prepared, and took the time to clarify any questions before moving forward with the work. The job was completed efficiently and everything was done well. We appreciated that they were respectful of the home, careful with the details, and made sure the work was completed properly. It can be hard to find contractors who are both skilled and pleasant to work with, but Star Bright Electric checked all the boxes. Overall, we were very happy with the experience and plan to use them again for any future electrical work."

"If it were possible, I would give a higher rating than 5 stars. Aaron spent 2 hours re-wiring my mother's 65 year old wiring system to accommodate a Lifeline Alert receiver. My mother's phone is a rotary dial & was hard wired into the wall, so she didn't even have a phone jack. Aaron worked with the Lifeline representatives to re-program the receiver, so it could run on pulses, rather than the normal tonal set-up. He did all this in 100 degree heat, in a house with no air conditioning, with a 93 year old woman crying in the background. Words cannot describe my thanks."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Installing a circuit breaker is best handled by a local professional electrician. This project requires following strict electrical codes, and might even involve permits. Not only can electrical work be dangerous, but without the proper training that a pro will have, you could cause further damage to your home’s electrical system.

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.

A ceiling light will usually have two or three wires: black, white, and sometimes green. Black wires are positive, or hot, while white wires are negative, or neutral. The green wire is the grounding wire. 

When you’re wiring the light, connect black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding screw.

Choosing between 12- or 14-gauge wire for your house depends on the electrical requirements of the circuit. A 12-gauge wire is thicker and can handle more power, making it better suited for devices such as kitchen appliances, air conditioning units, or electric heaters.

A 14-gauge wire is thinner and can handle less electrical current than a 12-gauge wire. It's ideal for circuits with lower power requirements, such as lighting or general-purpose outlets in bedrooms or living rooms.

The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don’t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.
