"Just had an electrician from Wired Up Electric come to my house to fix a faulty outlet, and let's just say things got a little...charged. No pun intended. But seriously, this guy was a total pro and had my outlet fixed in no time. He even offered to show me some basic electrical safety tips, which was super helpful. If you're having any electrical issues, definitely give Wired Up Electric a call. They'll shock you with their excellent service!"

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"I was in a sticky situation. My contractor was unprofessional and was overcharging. John stepped in and worked out a reasonable price. His worker Aaron was respectful and lovely to deal with. I live a little far from Morgantown WV. It was part of the contract for me to always be second, but the job got done. I would recommend. John and Arron were very nice to work with"

"The people at Morgantown Electrical Contracting were great and completed a somewhat complicated job in about a day. Mr. Snider was friendly and knowledgeable about what had to be done, which included a new electric meter, new breaker box, and a plane for a new generator. All three employees, including Mr. Snider, worked very efficiently and answered question about the work as each task was done. There have been no problems with the electrical system since the work was completed. I have other jobs that need to be done and I will contact Mr. Snider about them."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

The size of your home will help determine the size of your electrical panel. Usually, the decision comes down to a 100-amp electrical panel versus a 200-amp panel. Smaller homes, especially those without an HVAC system, may be able to get by with a 100-amp panel. 

If you have a larger home or need to power AC, a 200-amp panel should be the best fit. It’s unlikely that you’ll need a larger panel than that unless you have a larger home or unique electrical needs, but an electrician can help you make the final call.

If your outlet needs to be reset multiple times, you likely have a problem with the outlet, the reset button, the wiring, or its connected circuit breaker. If the reset button doesn’t work and the circuit breaker isn’t the issue, it’s likely a problem with the outlet or the reset button it’s attached to.

Many homes have a 200-amp service, which requires a 2-inch electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For 400-amp service, opt for a 4-inch electrical meter riser.
