"I had a fantastic experience hiring Hughes Electrical to install my LED lighting fixtures in the living room and kitchen! They arrived on time, were very friendly and gave me a better price than the other two estimates I received. The electricians wore shoe covers, put down tarps and cleaned everything up. My new LED recessed lights were also installed on a dimmer. They did a wonderful job and I will be referring them to all my friends!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Different types of light switches include single-pole switches (the standard switch in your home), double-pole switches, toggle switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, and more. 

A single-pole light switch controls the power to a single device, whereas two-way, three-way, and four-way light switches control lights from different locations, increasing the number of connections in the home.

When wondering what size of breaker for a water heater is appropriate, the majority of hot water heaters need a 30-amp, two-pole breaker. Most residential water heaters use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts. If your appliance matches these measurements, a 30-amp breaker is likely perfect. Owners of point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts often find that a 30-amp breaker is adequate. Water heaters that use more watts than average may need a 40-amp breaker. Smaller units that use fewer watts could potentially use a 20-amp breaker.

A correctly functioning outlet will not cause a fire risk if nothing is plugged in. However, if the circuit is overloaded or there is a fault with the outlet, the connecting wiring, or the circuit it is attached to, this can lead to the risk of fire or electrocution, even when nothing is plugged in. Turn off the circuit breaker immediately and seek professional assistance if you suspect a fault.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.

According to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the electrical code for kitchen outlets states that electrical outlets in a kitchen should be installed no more than 48 inches apart. This ensures that a receptacle is no further away than 24 inches from any place on the countertop. Countertops wider than 12 inches need an outlet on the wall above the countertop.
