"Booked an appointment on Sunday and Travis came out the following day to install two outdoor lights. Great customer service and talked me through the steps. He completed a home inspection to highlight areas of need for future projects. A little over priced but due to it being electrical, I rather pay the money needed to get the projected completed safety."

"I was an unlimited contractor for 32 years and retired. Couldn’t handle it , had to go back to work. I would like to say that I would work with Chris anytime . He was extremely productive , knowledgeable and professional, and I might add a great guy . Honesty is something you don’t see much anymore in the workplace, when he would tell he would do something it happened . Can’t wait to work with him again !"

"William, the owner came within days to give us an estimate. He was able to use parts of antique lighting rods that my husband had collected. We have an old house and we wanted something that would complement our house. They came the next business day and did the install. William was the nicest man and a pleasure to work with!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), GFCI outlets should be installed in wet or damp locations where they might be splashed with water or other liquids. This is to protect against ground faults, which are more common around water. Specific areas that require GFCI outlets include kitchens (especially near counters), bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all outdoor receptacles. Depending on local electrical codes, you may need at least one GFCI outlet in these rooms, or every outlet in the area may need to be GFCI protected.

When combined with a substantial solar system, if you have enough Powerwalls, you could go off-grid and be energy independent. But remember, you'd need enough Powerwalls to power your whole home continuously because a single Powerwall can’t power large appliances for extended periods. One Powerwall is able to power an average-sized home's emergency circuits, lights, and outlets. To power large appliances, you likely need two or three Powerwalls.

If you’re interested in exploring other avenues to completely upgrade your electrical panel, it’s also possible to add a sub-panel, which is a smaller panel that connects to what you currently have in place. This way, you can add additional circuits without having to swap out your main panel.

240V is the standard for more demanding appliances in the United States, whereas 220V is more common elsewhere. The voltage isn’t very different in any practical sense. The United States is a newer country compared to many other regions in the world with a faster adoption of new electrical needs. Appliances in the United States are often bigger than other parts of the world.

That depends on your setup. If a circuit breaker already has GFCI protection, then everything connected to that specific circuit is being monitored. You don’t need additional GFCI outlets on that breaker.

However, if the breaker is not GFCI, then you should have GFCI receptacles for at-risk outlets nearby water sources, because they are not receiving protection. Breakers in a breaker box can vary between GFCI and non-GFCI. Look for GFCI labels on the breaker or try to find the breaker model number to look it up if you aren’t sure.
