Let Us Be Your Electrician in Kings Point, NY

Fixing issues within your residential or commercial electrical system is a complex process that involves knowledge of all the working parts. To understand why, its necessary to learn how the electrical system works. Home electrical systems consist of several components that work together to bring power to your electronics and the structure of the house as a whole. A typical home or business has a system that includes a line, a meter, the main circuit breaker, wiring circuits that run to each of the rooms in the home, and outlets.

The main line brings power from the power line directly to your home. It is connected to the meter. Most homeowners are familiar with the meter, which sits on the outside of the home, where the power company can view it and assess how much electricity you have used and what you should be charged.

Where your main breaker panel is located depends on the home or business's construction. While some homes/business have a panel in the garage, others have the panel inside a closet or utility room. Still others have an exterior panel built to withstand weather exposure. The amount of power the panel can handle is known as the amperage and can vary based on the square footage and year the home was built. Classic or historic homes may only support 100 amps, while new constructions and businesses can have panels that are rated for an amperage of 400. The panel is what controls the routing of power to the individual circuits in the home, and power the outlets.
