"I hired Brite Electric to expand the electric capacity at my house and to add a 240 volt outlet for my ev car charger. Pete did an excellent job performing these tasks in a timely manner. He effectively communicated in detail the job tasks and answered all my questions. Pete was dependable and did not vary above the quoted price. I would definitely call Brite Electric for any future electrical work."

"Fantastic! Professional, respectful and friendly. Inspected the circuit breaker problem, identified problem and explained several ways to handle the correction. Removed one light fixture over MBath vanity and reconfigured wiring for two replacement fixtures and installed a new electrical outlet @ the vanity. Explained the cost of each project before started work. Both of the electricians knowledgeable and worked diligently to make sure it was done right and would be aesthetically pleasing. They cleaned up after the job was complete. Would highly recommend and will definitely hire again for our electrical needs."

"Mr. Electric was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with the needs for our business. We needed to update our electrical systems since we kept having outlets go out and power go out in various areas of the office. Mr. Electric was prompt, knowledgeable, and able to resolve all of our issues on their first visit to our office. The prices were reasonable as well, especially considering the amount of work that was done and the level of professionalism they have! I will definitely contact them again with any of our electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

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.

Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.

Simple moves on the same base or within a few feet will not take long, roughly three to four hours. Larger moves onto a new wall or transitioning a box from inside to outside will take 8 to 12 hours to complete. Ask your electrician for a time estimate prior to installation.

Most commonly, aesthetics and practicality influence a move. If your renovation or remodel involves the wall in question, you’ll obviously need to relocate. It all comes down to personal preference. You’ll need to hire a professional electrician for this task, so be sure to hire a licensed pro with plenty of experience with this type of electrical task.
