"I can't say enough about Kanon Electric, and Nick in particular. Their pricing was fair, and their service has been OUTSTANDING. Nick has gone above and beyond, time and time again for our large electrical project at our rental house. He has been professional, responsive and an excellent communicator with both me and out tenant. I don't write many reviews, but this one was well-deserved. THANK YOU!"

"LIsa was absolutley great. On time, and very knowledgeable. She more than helped me out when I know nothing about electrical. You want to hire someone who you can trust, but you just never know. Lisa was great right from the start, she made me feel at ease from the beginning and I would recommend her again in a minute. Great job, thank you. Rick G."

"Very knowledgeable, friendly and knew exactly what needed to be done. Told me the price up front, and met the price in his workmanship. You can tell he is a Pro. Just go look inside his van which is cleaner than most people's houses and highly organized. I am planning on some other electrical work in the future. Jereramie is who I am going to hire fore sure. I highly recommend this Electrician."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

An outlet can trip because the circuit it’s on is overloaded, meaning the devices plugged into it are drawing more power than the circuit can safely carry. Another culprit could be because a power surge from a storm or accident caused a problem with your local electrical grid or there’s a short or a fault causing power to run through the circuit in a dangerous or unplanned way.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

The Biden Administration banned the sale of incandescent light bulbs for general service lamps in 2023. All household light bulbs must meet a minimum efficiency of 45 lumens per watt, three times that of a standard incandescent light bulb. 

The main motivation was to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that banning incandescent light bulbs will cut over 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions over the next 30 years. Some bulbs are exempt, like chandelier lights and Christmas lights.

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.
