"We used Angi.com to find an electrician to install an EV charger we bought for our new EV. Sear Electric responded quickly, came out to complete a visual review of what was needed and they produced a very reasonable quote for the installation of the charger in our garage. The employees were very communicative, friendly and professional, and the overall quality of work was excellent. The guys who did the installation were also very patient as I made sure I got the app connected and verified the charger would indeed charge the car. We are pleased with the work Sear Electric did and would hire them again if we have any other electrical issues or projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

It wouldn’t be abnormal to view all wiring as simply wiring, but wiring has different gauges and can handle different loads. When you’re wiring for 240V, you need wire that is rated at least 240V, but honestly it’s better to spend a little more and just buy 300V wiring. This ensures a margin of safety in case the wiring gets overloaded.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

If your home already has wires for a ceiling fan (and optional light kit), then it’s quite safe to wire and install it yourself. Always be very careful to shut off the power before you begin, and confirm that the power is safely off with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything. It’s also highly recommended to use eye protection, rubberized gloves, and tools with rubber handles to keep yourself safe from electric shock.
