Wiring is fundamental to any electrical system. It creates the circuits that bring electricity to all your devices, including your computer, TV, appliances, and other devices. The specifics of wiring must align with the requirements of the outlet to ensure that power is supplied effectively and safely. This page will dive into the complexities of whole home wiring and illustrate why customers should entrust Johnson Power Solutions with their electrical needs.

The Basics of Electrical Wiring

Johnson Power Solutions believes that knowledge is key to making informed decisions about your electrical needs. Do you know the difference between a wire and a cable in your home’s electrical system? A cable is an assembly of two or more wires within the same jacket, often designed to improve safety and enhance the conduction of electrons along the wire. On the other hand, a wire is a single strand or filament, which may or may not be insulated.

Interestingly, the popularity of aluminum wiring took off in the 1960s. However, in today’s modern homes, copper wiring is the preferred choice. Why? Because copper is more stable, conducts electricity more efficiently, and significantly lowers the risk for electrical fires, promoting peace of mind and safety for homeowners.

Getting to know the measures of electricity, namely amperage and voltage, can feel daunting. Think of voltage as the pressure of electrons and amperage as the volume of electrons flowing in your electrical system. Imagine a pipe filled with water: the greater the amount of water pushed through a smaller pipe, the higher the pressure. The options to reduce pressure would either be to increase the size of the pipe or decrease the volume of water flowing through it. In a similar way, the principles of voltage and amperage work in your home’s electrical system.

Whether your desired endpoint is the standard, traditional outlet to power everyday devices like your TV, computer, kitchen appliances, or something more complex, Johnson Power Solutions is at your service. A standard 15 amp, 120-volt outlet with two receptacles, commonly used in homes, might be what you need. Our expert electricians know that wiring for higher amps or voltage, such as a 240-volt outlet for an electric vehicle charging station, requires careful consideration and a more robust circuit. We ensure the entire circuit delivers the required power without overloading or causing safety hazards, always prioritizing your peace of mind.

Wire sizes are measured in gauges. The larger the gauge, the smaller the wire. Most residential electrical systems use 14-gauge and 12-gauge wires. For power-demanding devices like electric vehicles, clothes dryers, air conditioners, or your hobby shop equipment, a 10-gauge, 8-gauge, or even a 6-gauge wire might be necessary. Since 2001, color codes for each gauge are standardized:

• White: 14-gauge wire, suitable for 15 amp circuits
• Yellow: 12-gauge wire, appropriate for 20 amp circuits
• Orange: 10-gauge wire, ideal for 30 amp circuits
• Black: 8-gauge or 6-gauge wire, designed for 45 or 60 amp circuits
• Gray: Underground cable, where gauges and amperage can vary and are labeled accordingly

Moreover, wires within cables are color-coded for safety and ease of installation. Most cables house three wires: red signifies ‘hot,’ white indicates ‘neutral,’ and green or bare wire is the ‘ground’ wire. Some cables house a fourth wire for use with three-way switches, typically black. For further context, refer to our switches page.

We understand that some of the information we provide about wiring might feel more technical than you need to know. That’s part of why you trust the expert electricians at Johnson Power Solutions – because we’re experienced with these technical details so you don’t have to be. When you hire us for your electrical job, you’re hiring a team that ensures the work is done correctly, regardless of whether it’s a simple light switch installation or a complete whole home wiring project in your Phoenix property.

There are two reasons the information is included in this much detail. The first reason is so you know the work is done correctly when you hire an electrician to do the electrical work in your home or business.

The second reason we provide this level of detail is that the information can be beneficial when considered alongside the details on our other service pages. For instance, our outlets page underscores the importance of selecting the appropriate outlet for your intended appliance. Completing the full circuit to meet the power demands of your appliances is equally essential. This all forms part of our comprehensive whole home wiring services.

By combining the information from our Wiring, Outlets, Switches, and Lighting pages, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of your home’s entire electrical system. It’s about more than just function; it’s about your life and the way you use your spaces. Do you need particular lighting for each room? How about controlling an outlet with a switch, or having the ability to turn off lights from multiple locations? Are you planning for an electric vehicle charger in your garage, or considering home automation for seamless control over your switches, lights, security cameras, or even your smart doorbell? All these considerations and more are part of our whole home wiring services. When we design your electrical system, we aim to provide safety, convenience, and control over your space.

Low voltage wiring is often used for smoke detector and security systems, some types of lighting, such as landscape lighting, and home entertainment systems. The process of installing and connecting this type of wiring is virtually the same as other electrical work performed by Johnson Power Solutions. While our expert electricians can lay the foundation for these systems, additional professionals might be required to complete the setup for landscape, security, or entertainment systems. However, when it comes to home fire detectors, we offer a comprehensive service that spans installation, repair, and maintenance. Please note that we do not handle television cables or phone lines – these are typically managed by your media company.
