"The job(s) were performed perfectly. Luis Baires, with, Mr Electric, was prompt, professional and gave a fair price. The details of the fan installation and how the new equipment operated were explained thoroughly to me. The problem with the garage outlets was discovered, corrected and explained. I am very impressed with Luis and Mr Electric. This is the second project Where Mr Electric (Luis) have helped me. I will definitely use them again for any electrical issues that I have. I highly recommend the company and Luis."

"Jordan gave me a thorough analysis of of the electrical issue . I appreciate that he attempted to diagnosis the problem in different ways before reaching a conclusion . His charges are reasonable and were explained before his arrival . The issue turned out to be an appliance issue and not what I had thought . I could tell he is a very honest person and didn’t want to take advantage of the situation . I will definitely be contacting him for any electrical services . Honestly , we need more business like his!"

"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

The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).

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.

If you’re someone who likes to tinker around the house and make DIY repairs, a multimeter or voltmeter can be a great tool to have around, especially if you’re comfortable with electrical repairs. That said, if working with electricity feels out of your depth, you don’t need to invest in a multimeter. Reach out to an electrical pro for any electrical work you need done if any part of you is hesitant about a project.

In the case of electrical overflow, an ungrounded outlet should trip the circuit breaker, staving off dangerous scenarios. However, this is not always the case, especially if the wires and circuit breaker are worn down or damaged in some way. Ungrounded wires melt over time as they are introduced to more and more electricity. In other words, a circuit breaker offers protection in most instances but not always, and that’s where the danger lies with ungrounded outlets.

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.
