Work you can see, and a lot you can’t.

Much of the best electrical work ends up under stone, behind drywall or inside a slab. Here’s some of it before the finishes went on, and after.

Read all 31
Why does my breaker keep tripping?

Breakers trip when a circuit is overloaded, when there's a short circuit or ground fault, or when the breaker itself is wearing out.

How do I know my electrical panel needs to be replaced?

Replace a panel that's full, rusted, warm, buzzing, scorched, or more than 30 to 40 years old, and any Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok), Zinsco or Challenger panel.

My well pump keeps tripping the breaker or won't start. Is it electrical?

Often, yes. Common causes are a failing pressure switch, a bad capacitor or control box, a worn pump motor drawing too much current, or a loose connection in the circuit.

What size generator do I need for my home?

For essentials like a well pump, furnace blower, refrigerator, sump pump, some lights and outlets, a 7 to 12 kW generator is typical. Whole-home coverage with central air or a heat pump often needs 20 to 26 kW or more.

What's involved in bringing an older kitchen up to code?

Typically new dedicated circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, microwave and range; at least two 20-amp countertop circuits; GFCI and AFCI protection; and properly spaced countertop outlets, plus the lighting plan.
