"John is an excellent choice for any electrical needs in your home (or your business). We have been working on remodeling our home, and John has been responsive, timely, professional, and excellent. He has helped to update our home beautifully, and we trust him 100% with any electrical update, install, or rewiring. He has run new wires for outlets, repaired and updated old existing outlets, stood on a scaffolding to create new electrical boxes on a vaulted ceiling for a greatroom chandelier, ran wires from an attic to a bedroom for switched bedside lighting, installed dimmers, consolidated switches, and properly wired a new built-in electric ventless fireplace. Honestly, hire John. You will be so glad you did!"

"Tom was friendly, knowledgeable, and did quality work for a reasonable price. He took a messy junction box full of unlabeled wires and stray voltage and cleaned it up and installed a ceiling fan in 90 minutes. I plan to hire him for all my electrical needs for now on."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Different fences use different amounts of electricity, but their operating costs are very low overall. Electric fences pull between 4 and 25 watts from the system if you have an average-sized yard. Barring any complicated math, you can expect an average electric fence to cost less than $5 a month to run. Aboveground electric fences, which are not typical for residential use or small animals, can cost more, but you shouldn't notice a significant change in your electric bill. 

On average, the cost to wire a new home ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot. The cost to rewire a house is around the same, ranging from $2 to $4 per square foot. Often, though, new wiring comes with lower overall costs since it’s much easier to access a home’s foundation. 

While circuit breakers are designed to be reset after tripping, there isn't a strict countdown to when they will fail. The primary danger lies in a breaker tripping multiple times in a short period without allowing the components to cool down. Theoretically, a standard breaker might handle around 50 trips caused by simple overloading. However, this number can be much lower in practice. For instance, a high-current fault could damage a breaker to the point that it needs replacement after only two resets. Repeatedly resetting a breaker that trips frequently exacerbates the underlying problem by causing the electrical components, wires, and the breaker itself to overheat. This can lead to permanent damage, cause the breaker to trip unnecessarily in the future, and increase the risk of an electrical fire. If a breaker trips every few minutes, you should leave it in the 'off' position and call a qualified electrician for an inspection.

You can tell if a breaker is GFCI by looking for a red or yellow test and reset button that you can press in and out. You’ll know if an outlet is GFCI if the red reset button is located in between the two pronged sections.

Amps describe the amount of energy that can flow through a circuit breaker. Every electrical device that’s attached to the breaker requires about 1.5 amps. While that equates to roughly 13 receptacles per 20 amps, using slightly fewer ensures that your circuit will always have enough energy for sudden power surges instead of tripping when one occurs. In general, 10 to 12 receptacles is recommended for a 20 amp circuit.
