"Johnathan & Steven (sp?) were prompt to arrange an appointment, prompt to arrive & thorough with their diagnosis and estimate. They installed a 220 line & breaker from our panel downstairs to our kitchen upstairs in preparation for replacing a gas stove with an electric glasstop. They were careful with our property & cleaned up thoroughly. They came in within a hundred dollars of their estimate, which I considered well-priced to begin with. I will use them again if we have any further electrical issues."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

In general, 200 amps is enough for a house with a square footage of up to 1,800, or the average three-bedroom home. A 200-amp service allows your home to warm and cool itself while running multiple appliances at once. It's a good option for homes that have been extended, or after adding new appliances. 200-amp service is the current standard for homes, so in most cases, it will work for you.

Most mechanical and digital timers will only turn your Christmas lights on and off once per day, but a smart timer will likely do so as many times as you want.

Often, you can add extra breakers to an electrical panel. A new breaker can help with new appliance needs, and it’s a common solution when finishing an attic or basement. However, adding extra breakers can’t bring in more amps to your house, so you still need enough amp service to power everything in total. 

The common, marked as COM or C, is one of the terminals found in your light switch. It houses the live wire that supplies the input voltage. The other terminals, marked as L1 or L2, are the outputs to the light fixtures. Depending on if you have a one-way or two-way switch, you’ll either have just an L1 terminal or both an L1 and L2 terminal.
