"It was done by Mike Stapleford in the time and manner of a professional electrician with 30 years experience. He cleaned up after himself and was very pleasant. His charge was too low, and I increased the payment to amore reasonable amount. The following day, I gave his name and phone number at my company for use for future work there. I highly recommend Stapleford Electric."

"My experience with Jdv Electric was incredible. This company was on time proficient and effective. They replaced all the defective outlets and switches in My Home the same day they came out. I am a new customer with Jdv Electric now I will only use and refer Jdv Electric to my friends and family. One of the best parts about using Jdv Electric their electricians are drug tested, and background check that made my wife very happy."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

No, there aren’t additional code requirements for kitchen lights. Kitchen lights and other electrical circuits in the kitchen have different code requirements. Outlets need to be particularly robust because of their frequency of use and proximity to liquids. If you need help determining where to install outlets in your kitchen, consult a local electrician who can ensure that placement is functional and up to code.

A breaker won’t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don’t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

Check the matching breaker in your panel, since the number is printed on the switch. You can also tell them apart by sight. A 15-amp outlet has two straight vertical slots, while a 20-amp outlet has one vertical slot and one sideways T-slot.

A duplex outlet simply means that the receptacle has two plug-in outlets for two plugs. It’s a common design choice for homes. The two outlets should be wired identically during installation so the hot side is the same for both.
