Electric Water Heater Wiring
An electric water heater is a major home appliance that requires a specific electrical setup to operate correctly. Unlike gas models, electric water heaters use powerful heating elements submerged in the water tank to raise the temperature. These elements consume a large amount of electricity, necessitating a dedicated 240-volt circuit. This circuit must run directly from the main electrical panel to a junction box on the water heater itself. The electricians at Gragg Electrical Services are highly experienced in these installations. We ensure your water heater is connected to a robust and safe power supply. A proper electrical connection is vital for the appliance’s performance, efficiency, and long operational life.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) has clear guidelines for wiring electric water heaters, which our team follows meticulously. Most standard residential tank-style electric water heaters require a dedicated 30-amp, 240-volt circuit. This specification demands the use of 10-gauge copper wire to safely manage the electrical current. Using a thinner wire would cause it to overheat, creating a significant fire risk. We pair this 10-gauge wire with a 30-amp double-pole circuit breaker in the panel. This provides the correct level of overcurrent protection for both the wiring and the appliance. Some larger or on-demand tankless electric water heaters may have even higher amperage requirements, which we always verify before installation.
absolutely wonderful experience. very helpful, explanatory and went above and beyond to get us up and running again!
You will never find a more polite, respectful person than Cory Boosz. We had massive problems that we never could have fixed and within a short amount of time everything was done! We will never go to anyone else for any electrical problems. We also appreciate the fact that after we called late on a Friday he still came to our house that day, thanks again for everything Cory!
I've been very happy with Gragg. So far I've used them for 2 projects and anticipate more. The staff is knowledgeable, thorough, and courteous.
Mike was great. He answered all my questions, explained everything that he was doing, and cleaned everything up when he was done
Working with Mike was an absolute gold‑standard experience. His professionalism, deep education in his field, and commitment to safety were evident from the moment he arrived. He came prepared with creative solutions, fair pricing, and a level of thoroughness that ensured every party understood the codes, the safety considerations, and the work being performed. Mike doesn’t just fix a problem — he teaches, protects, and earns your trust in the process. He treats your home with the same care he’d give his own, even bringing his own shoe covers without being asked. That level of respect and attention to detail gave our family real peace of mind. We knew we were safe, we weren’t being overcharged, and we weren’t being sold anything unnecessary. His expertise, execution, and integrity are unmatched. Because of the experience we had with Mike, I will be a loyal customer for life. I can’t speak highly enough of him, his skill set, or the way he conducts his work. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who wants a true professional who delivers excellence every single time.
Gragg Electric is the best! They saved our Memorial Day Weekend! Corey was the best! Highly recommend this company!
Amazing service! Gragg managed to fit us in on a busy holiday weekend Friday. Corey was fantastic—he diagnosed and fixed the problem in no time at all.
Mike was phenomenal. Highly recommend this company. Great pricing and very prompt. I would give it 10 stars if I could .
Corey came after hours and handled business and he was phenomenal- didn't upsell me - just solved my problem and got me power again. Can't thank him enough
Came in and fixed our problem in less than 20 minutes. VERY THANKFULLY FOR COREY!!
Update….Used Gragg again on 5/15/26. Still same great service. They are our go to for electrical work always! Professional. Arrived timely. Explained issues. Nice guys. Reasonable price. We will call them in future for electrical work. Recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician.
I was selling my house and the buyers home inspection listed a few electrical items that they wanted to repair with our close date coming up I reached out to Gragg electrical they came out same day to give an estimate and did all the work a few days later. They were polite cleaned up and worked and acted very professional. Next the city inspector came out and said they did a good job but he wanted a couple things changed Gragg came back and met the inspector at the house they told me prior to the inspector arriving they would do anything they need to do to make everything right however they wanted to talk to the inspector because they didn’t agree with his list well they when over everything with the inspector and in the end Gragg Electrical was right and no repairs were needed. Very happy with the work and the crew and they would be the first place I would call if I need a electrician again
BRO! Gragg electrical services, and this guy here is awesome!!! If I ever have an electrical issue again I know who I'm calling. I thought he was going to be here after hours so I was prepared for the after hours dispatch fee. He got here before after hours so the dispatch fee was greatly reduced. I believe it only did take him maybe 15-20 minutes and he figured out the problem got her fixed. I don't think I've ever done a review for a company. But if it helps y'all and it helps him I'm down. Thank you so much again Mike. My daughter has power in her room again. I salute you dude.
Corey was dead spot on! You're lucky to have him for an employee! I will use Craig electric for all my electrical needs from now on!
Fast, friendly service at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend their services
I needed an electrician to replace some loose outlet slots on my mom‘s Louisville, Ohio house. I’m listing it for sale after her passing, unfortunately. Gragg electric, from the woman who answers the phone and schedules the appointment to the actual electrician, Michael, were all very helpful, professional and personable. Michael was very communicative and would text me arrival times and actually showed up on that time and even before. He was very accommodating, even doing this job before he actually “clocked on” for work. He brought his own shoe/boot covers and was respectful of me and of my mom‘s home. He even labeled Mom‘s main breaker box which, for some reason was not previously labeled. I would definitely recommend Gragg and Mike Thank you for making this stressful time a little less so
Excellent service! Mike was very professional, called appropriately ahead of time to make sure someone was home. He was upfront about all estimates needed, providing good information the whole time. He answered my questions appropriately and made me feel at ease about my electrical work. Overall, would recommend!
Had them come out for a new home purchase box inspection. My mother in law was home and she said the gentleman was very polite. I had talked to the lady in the office twice and she was very helpful and was able to save me some money! I would recommend this company for sure!
My technician was very informative, was great at breaking down what was going on, explaining how and why. Very very great experience 10/10 would recommend highly.
Mike was great! He called when he was in route, showed up on time and completed the work in a very timely fashion. I felt the cost was reasonable too!
The gentleman (Mike) very professional person, he also explained in detail what had to be done, he sat up everything that had to be done financing and everything. Put us on the schedule as quick as possible. A professional company. Thanks Mike for all you have done for us. Barb Stamps and John T Stamps. I highly recommend this company to anyone.
Mike carefully inspected my house and thoroughly explained the repairs I need. I would highly recommend this company.
Mike was absolutely wonderful to work with. He took time to explain the process to me and made sure I understood everything which actually ended up being very simple. I would HIGHLY recommend Gragg Electric because of Mike.
We would highly recommend this Company. Besides doing excellent work, they treated us extremely well. We felt as if everyone that works there had our best interest in mind.
I setup an appointment online over the weekend for a service call and received a phone call first thing Monday morning. They were able to have a technician out that morning. Mike W. came out and reviewed our problem with a breaker and was able to diagnose some of the issues that caused it. He also explained everything that was found and why it could cause a problem. Very professional and I thought the cost was reasonable.
Excellent service. We had a few outlets in our kitchen go out and lights were flickering. Mike came out so fast and not only got them working but also checked the whole house to make sure everything was working. He was very thorough and made sure we knew what was going on.
Mike did an excellent job diagnosing the issue and solved the problem despite adverse weather conditions. He was courteous and polite and very respectful.
Mike was very cordial, clear in his explanations of the work/estimate that would have to be done and the options that I have. I look forward to having them fix my electrical needs.
Great local company in East Canton. Very knowledgeable and skilled crews. I would highly recommend for your next electrical job!
The technician who came out was thorough and very pleasant. He determined what the issue was with malfunctioning landscape lighting and provided a reasonable quote for repair. Parts needed to be ordered and I’m expecting the same outstanding service when replacement parts are installed.
This was my first time using this company. Response time was great. There was no charge for coming and making an estimate for the work. The electrician was friendly and explained everything. I think this is a great company. Rates were reasonable and I am very pleased with their work.
I could not be happier with my experience, prompt, efficient, clean and diagnosed the problem quickly. I would highly recommend Gragg Electrc
Gragg Electric workmanship is top-notch. Their service and expertise are unmatched, but most importantly, especially in today's economy, they are HONEST and fair priced. I highly recommend them for any electrical work that you may need.
Great experience! Mike was very knowledgeable.Helped me understand all the details of my project without being pushy with sales! Definitely recommend him!
I called Gragg Electrical Services, LLC to come out regarding my dryer outlet not getting enough power. They were able to get me on the schedule the next day at no additional charge! Cory Boosz came out timely and found the issue. He kindly explained what was going on and some potential solutions. Cory did a great job fixing the problem and didn’t even have to turn the power off so I could continue working. He also cleaned up after he was finished. Thank you Cory and Gragg for providing us with kindness and relief during a difficult time. I will definitely be using this company again.
We just finished a detached garage build and needed the whole structure wired from the subpanel to the outlets and lighting. The electrician from Gragg was efficient, clearly experienced with this type of work, and the finished product looks exactly like what I had pictured. Everything is properly grounded, the circuits are sensibly distributed, and it passed the electrical inspection without a single correction. For a project I was a little nervous about managing it went about as smoothly as possible.
The lights in my living room had been flickering intermittently for months and two different electricians had looked at it without finding the cause. Gragg Electrical spent the time to actually trace the issue back to a loose neutral connection at the panel that had been creating voltage fluctuations throughout the circuit. Problem solved on the first real diagnosis. Sometimes you just need someone who is willing to look harder and these guys did exactly that.
Our kitchen renovation required running new circuits for a double oven and an island with dedicated outlet circuits and Gragg Electrical coordinated seamlessly with the rest of our contractors. The rough in work was done on schedule, the inspector had zero notes, and the finish work after drywall was clean and precise. My contractor told me they were the easiest sub on the whole job and that kind of professionalism ripples through an entire project.
We had an issue where we lost power due to the neutral wire breaking on the side of the house. I called Gragg Electric and they were able to send someone out within a few hours. We ended up needing to have not only the wire replaced, but the meter box and additional grounding installed to bring it up to current code. Everyone at Gragg Electric was very kind and professional and worked quickly to get our power restored. I would highly recommend them.
Corey was awesome. He did the job quickly and efficiently. He also answered all my questions.
Cory was so nice, respectful and knowledgeable. He had my problem solved within 15 minutes! I would definitely recommend Gragg in the future and will be working with them again to wire my She-shed!! So excited. A+++++
We had a very large tree fall between the power pole and the house tearing the wires from the house. Gragg is one of the nicest companies I've worked with. Mike W. was our Electrician for the hurry up job. He is professional and helpful, not to mention that he is very nice. I'm glad I picked Gragg Electrical Services and I will happily recommend them!
He was professional and very knowledgeable about the electrical work done.I would highly recommend.
They are quick, professional, and nice to work with. I would definitely recommend them and plan to work with them again.
Great service and people Mike was a pleasure to talk to and work with great company.
Urgent issue. Arrived on time and resolved the issue quickly and ensured everything was safe thank you
We had a recurring problem with loss of power to part of our house that was all on the same circuit. We had a subscription with another company, but when we called they couldn’t get us an appointment for several weeks. We called Gragg and they came out in 3 days. We had a technician name Cory, who was very knowledgeable and diagnosed and fixed the problem very quickly. He explained the problem in terms I could understand. He was competent and friendly to boot. You could tell he loved his job too.
Family can now live in safety because of the awesome people at Gragg Electrical Services. We had 3 outlets with the loosest recepticles you've ever seen. None of our cell phone chargers would stay plugged in... Great electricians and a blessing to our family. Came over to the west side of Massillon for no extra travel fee. Awesome, affordable, and family-oriented.
Called in and spoke with Brittany about needing an estimate, she was so kind and thorough. Cory came out to provide the estimate and was incredibly nice and professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answer my questions. I really appreciated his honesty and how easy he was to talk to. Great experience overall!
Very satisfied with quality of service and work will use Gragg for any further electrical work.
Service was quick and complete. I will definitely use them again for my electrical needs.
Excellent, friendly service. Fair price. Mike W. Did a great job!! Thank you
Mike was our technician and he did an outstanding job. He showed up on time, was diligent and solve our problem. I would highly recommend.
Cory was very professional when he arrived. He was respectful of our home and explained the new safety requirements that are now included in their work. I feel very confident working with Gragg.
Mike did an awesome job on our estimate! Was extremely thorough and helped me understand the whole process!
Cory was very knowledgeable and friendly about answering questions, I don’t know the ins and outs about home electricity. We went through the inspection in detail and gave an easy to understand explanation about what is needed. I recommend these folks to anyone looking for a home electrician.
The website is amazing and user friendly! Customer service was outstanding and courteous. Corey was very informative, knowledgeable, polite and prompt. I will be calling Gragg for future electrical work and referring others.
Dr. Frankenstein could take some notes from Kyle and Cam at Gragg Electric, who did an amazing job resurrecting our ancient generator from the dead. Kyle’s customer service was phenomenal. Brittany (hopefully that’s how it’s spelled; my apologies if it’s “Britneigh”) who scheduled the appointment was incredibly friendly and helpful. Cost was reasonable and what I would expect from the service rendered. I would definitely recommend Gragg Electric to others, and I will be having them back for my next electric project!
Great employee that came to our house. The gentleman told us exactly what we needed and why. Answered any questions we had. Great experience!
Mike and his team were able to finish a panel install and completed multiple fixes. Will definitely recommend to others.
Fantastic service! Highly recommend Gragg Electric. Affordable and reliable! Thanks for providing the necessary upgrades we needed.
Andrew and Harley put in an overhead light in my grandma’s living room. They were thorough, double checked and gave us options when something unexpected popped up, and were very kind to my grandma. Highly recommend for their timeliness, excellent communication and friendliness.
Solid choice for local electrical work. Highly recommend if you are in need of a quality electrician. Handles both residential and commercial.
We had quit a few things that needed done at the house the crew that came out was very respectful! Explained everything they were doing, answered all questions we had, and did an amazing job at everything that needed done . I Will definitely recommend this company to everyone I know.
This company is amazing and actually cared that I wasn't able to come home until work was done and rushed to get me scheduled. Truly the best company around. Out of 14 that I called I'm confident I received the best price and service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!
