"Lisa and Sonya were simply the nicest most knowledgeable electricians I have ever met! All the work they performed was impeccable and done thoroughly. We had our whole electrical panel replaced and upgraded to a 200 amp panel as well they installed recessed lighting in our kitchen and a new chandelier. We passed electrical inspection with flying colors! We were very impressed with their professionalism and will recommend them to everyone we know! Their honesty and integrity were very refreshing to see in a service company. We will have them back soon to do a few other things we need to have done. They were simply AWESOME!!!"

"On 4/24/26 Orbit Electric (Nick and Brandon) came to my house on Vashon Island, WA, to install a ChargePoint Flex level 2 EV charger in my carport. They did a great job. They came with all the materials and equipment needed for the job. Setting up the PVC conduit was especially tricky, and in accomplishing this part of the job, they were very professional and creative. It was clear to me that they know the electrical code well. After they left the jobsite, I used the charger, and it works well. The next time I need the help of licensed electricians, I will definitely call Orbit first."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

A piggyback circuit breaker, also known as a tandem or double-stuff breaker, combines two separate circuits into a single slot in a breaker panel. This design allows adding more circuits without a larger panel, making it a space-saving solution. Each breaker in the piggyback unit operates independently, protecting two circuits in one standard breaker slot. This is especially useful in older panels with limited space for additional breakers.

No, there aren’t additional code requirements for kitchen lights. Kitchen lights and other electrical circuits in the kitchen have different code requirements. Outlets need to be particularly robust because of their frequency of use and proximity to liquids. If you need help determining where to install outlets in your kitchen, consult a local electrician who can ensure that placement is functional and up to code.

Outdoor outlets should be at least 15-amp, but preferably 20-amp. The exact rating will depend on the electrical load of the devices that will be plugged into the outlet and the capacity of the circuit. It's important not to overload the circuit, which can cause safety hazards such as tripped breakers or electrical fires. In general, a circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended for outdoor outlets, while each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps.

You should never plug a normal 120v appliance into a special 240v outlet, as it can quickly burn out the appliance. This will cause irreparable damage to the appliance and, in worse case scenarios, cause damage to your circuit breaker. Check your appliance’s rating before plugging it into a 220v outlet to avoid electrical disaster.
