"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system. Brian was incredibly communicative, taking the time to discuss the project, timeline, and costs while patiently answering all of our questions. Patty was wonderful, making scheduling, paperwork, and communication easy and efficient. Their entire crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful. JR and Nick were exceptional foremen who went above and beyond to keep the project on track and ensure every detail was addressed. We'd also like to thank Mike, Julian, Trey, and Chris for their professionalism and craftsmanship. Rewiring an older home is a major undertaking, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Awesome Electrical Services, especially for owners of older homes."

"C.S. Electric was absolutely amazing on every level. Kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Not only did they complete the job in a timely fashion, but they diagnosed a significant issue that we had with old wiring that could have been a major problem. My first call when it comes to any electrical needs (both residential and commercial) is CS!!!"

"Prodigy was very responsive and was able to install a new electric box within 1 day when the power was continuously going out in my home. The new main breaker and panel box fixed my issue and we were grateful that Prodigy was able to fit us in within 24 hours of the request! Great customer service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

If you have a tank-type electric water heater, it runs regularly to keep the water at the desired temperature. If you live in a home where you don’t use much hot water, it could seem wasteful to run power to heat water that you’re using infrequently. You could save some power by using a smaller tank, insulating the tank, or lowering the temperature of the water heater.

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.

You can distinguish the amplitude and voltage of most outlets by looking at the shape and positioning of the holes. Other features like buttons, switches, and USB ports help identify electric outlets, too. Use labeled images, like the ones we’ve included above, to cross-reference with your outlets.

It’s not recommended to turn off your breaker box in hopes of saving electricity. Breaker boxes were not designed to constantly be switched on and off. Therefore, turning off breakers unnecessarily can cause costly damage that outnumbers any energy savings. Only flip your breakers if absolutely necessary when troubleshooting an electrical issue.
