"Timberline installed three outlets and a disconnect on my furnace. They did great work, were very nice and cleaned up after them selves. Would definitely hire them in the future."

"They were very fairly priced, professional, and knowledgeable about the work. We hired them to help with our kitchen remodel installing 4 can lights, multiple outlets and switches, a fan in our front room, removing old wiring and upgrading our old electrical panel. We were able to get a bid and have the work done in a very reasonable amount of time. We will definitely hire them again if we need any more electrical work done!"

"John and Zack did an incredible job on my remodel. There was a lot going on and it was not an eazy configuration, but it was no trouble for JZ Electric. They were reasonably priced, stuck to their timelines and very clean and efficient with their work. In fact, I remodels for other people too, and I always use JZ Electric because they are easy to work with and stick to the schedule."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.

Well pumps need power to run, so they can’t function without electricity. If your power shuts off, there can sometimes be enough pressure in the water tank to allow for a lucky flush or a bit of tap water—but this won’t last long. It’s a good idea to have a backup generator or an alternative power source like solar if you’re worried about losing power.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

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.

While the National Electrical Code (NEC) does not set a strict limit, a common guideline is to have a maximum of eight outlets or receptacles on a 15-amp circuit. This rule of thumb, which equates to about one outlet per 1.5 amps, helps keep the total electrical load safely below 80% of the circuit breaker's capacity. It is important to consider the power demands of any devices or appliances that will be plugged in, as overloading a circuit can lead to tripped breakers or create a fire hazard. To ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical system, consult with a licensed electrician.
