Can't recommend them high enough!"

"Brian Kissel was very easy to work with from estimate to project completion. He handled the city permit, SCE inspections, stucco repair, and of course, installation of our new exterior circuit breaker panel. Highly recommend Kissel Electric."

"Joe's Electric returned my care within minutes of me contacting them. I had a technician in my home in 1.5 hrs. Who quickly identified and fixed the problem within 35-45 minutes. They saved me from losing a whole day of work and it was worth the cost vs loss I would have incurred."

"The company owner, Jacob came out to my property with one of his crew members to discuss the requested electrical work and provide an estimate taking all aspects of the job into consideration. Using digital tools, he provided a written estimate on the spot that I accepted. On the day scheduled for the job, Jacob and his team arrived on time. They walked through the property verifying the work that would be completed. The crew members were always focused on the job and were extremely conscientious. They took great care to protect the property with plastic sheets in all areas where they were working. An unforeseen problem was discovered during the job (some live wires that were disconnected and not capped off). The unsafe situation was resolved without any extra cost. The entire job was completed professionally and thoroughly and nothing was left undone. As I had questions during the job, they were addressed immediately. The crew members communicated with each other (even using their cell phones when one was in the attic or it was difficult to hear one another) throughout the job making sure they were working together to complete all requested tasks. Near the end of the day, Jacob returned to review all the work that had been done and to touch base with me with regard to my satisfaction with the work. When all work was completed, Jacob generated a digital invoice and sent it to me electronically. The service provided by Gandzjuk Electric was top notch. I will not hesitate to recommend this company to others."

"The work was done professionally and done on schedule. Raymond the manager gave me all the information I needed before the start of the project . The communication was timely and valuable throughout the project. The main reason I hired Excellent Electric is because Raymond also made recommendations that help to reduce the cost of materials and labor. I interviewed three other companies and all gave me competitive prices, but the recommendations Raymond gave me, set Excellent Electric above the three other companies I interviewed. I will hire Excellent Electric again and recommend this company."

"Steve Cavanee Electric installed a power transfer unit at my house to transfer power from the grid to generator power. They did excellent work, showed on time and did the installation at a fair and reasonable price. They provided follow-up communication with directions as well. I will be using them again as the need arises."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Typically, refrigerators should not be plugged into GFCI outlets. This is another appliance with a motor that can be prone to a little current leakage. Using a standard outlet saves nuisance tripping and the potential of waking up to a refrigerator full of warm food. The only exception is when the refrigerator is in a garage, where all outlets must be GFCI.

The key difference between a circuit breaker versus a surge protector is that circuit breakers shield your entire electrical system from overcurrents and faults, while surge protectors defend your electronic devices against voltage surges and spikes. A circuit breaker interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit, protecting the wiring from damage and preventing fires. In contrast, a surge protector shields electronic devices from voltage spikes, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power surges, preventing damage to the device’s inner mechanics.

The Occupational Safety and Home Administration (OSHA) requires an electrical panel to have a minimum of three feet (36 inches) of room from the front of the panel to the closest obstacle. In this case, the word obstacle refers to nearly everything, including walls, machines, and other fixed objects. Additionally, panels require at least 6½ feet of headroom in the area directly in front of the fixture. These requirements help ensure safe use of the panel and allow electricians plenty of room to work.

Three-way switches work in pairs, allowing an operator to control a single light or series of lights from two separate switch locations. Most often, a three-way switch controls a light or light series in a single room.

The light that your ceiling light gives off will largely depend on the type of light bulb that’s installed in it. If you’re looking to brighten a dark room, LED bulbs are the way to go. LED bulbs will emit the most light while also using less energy than standard bulbs. They can last up to 50,000 hours and will need to be replaced much less often than standard bulbs.
