"Ryan and his team were awesome at replacing my home’s electric panel. They communicated well throughout the entire process, did a great job, explained things clearly, and the price was reasonable. They came back the next day to make sure everything was working properly. I will use them for future projects. Highly recommend."

"I needed a Transfer Switch for a portable generator installed, and Mike responded immediately! As a first time homeowner, finding an honest expert you can trust is difficult, but Mike has the proven experience and excellent communication skills to make any customer feel at ease. He kept to his word and did the job cleanly within the same day. For me, his price was absolutely fair. Mike will be my go-to for any electrical needs going forward. Thanks, Mike! -Eddie"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While not always necessary, wiring your circuit breaker in a certain way can ease both the installation process and use afterward. For starters, you’ll need to install the electrical panel so that the main service knockout aligns with the cable conduit. If they aren’t aligned, you may not have sufficient working space to finish running the wires. Using cable trays, on the other hand, gives you a bit more freedom to and flexibility in where and which direction you install the wires. At the end of the day, the power flow will be the same whether the cords run up or down.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Homeowners insurance policies will typically cover your cost to replace an electrical panel if damage occurs due to a covered circumstance such as fire, lightning, or certain types of accidents. Regular wear and tear or damage due to neglect might not be covered, so it's essential to review the policy details and consult with your insurance provider on the specifics of your coverage.

Yes, pool pumps use a significant amount of electricity, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in a home. A pool pump can use up to three times as much electricity as a refrigerator. Typically, a residential pool pump consumes about 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every hour it runs. Because pumps often need to run for about eight hours a day to properly filter the water, this can add up to an annual consumption of 3,000 to 5,000 kWh, which can cost between $480 and $800 per year based on average electricity rates.

The amount of electricity your pump uses depends on its size, energy efficiency, and daily run time. To lower your energy consumption, you can choose an energy-efficient or variable-speed pump, ensure it is correctly sized for your pool, and run it only for the minimum time required to keep the water clean.

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.
