He installed in-ground landscape lighting in my front and back yards under Japanese maple trees and did other major, significant electrical repairs in my garage and house. I will definitely use his electrical services again and will recommend him very highly to others."

From the very beginning, the process was seamless. The office staff reached out promptly, scheduled everything efficiently, and kept me informed throughout. Everyone was friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. Overall, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Jorge and his team to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and professional electrical service!"

"I hired Ken Johnson (Johnson Electric) to correct a number of electrical problems which were identified in a pre-sale home inspection. Among these was a replacement of an unsafe old circuit panel, all new power outlets, conduits and receptacles. Ken provided a quote which was very reasonable. Actual work was performed by two technicians. They arrived on time, completed the job the same day, and left the site in pristine conditioner. We were very satisfied with their work and based on my experience I am happy to recommend Johnson Electric for quality electrical projects in your residence."

"

I called Haik Zohrabian because the tenant at our rental property had reported "some smoke and a burnt smell" coming from an entryway light fixture. 

When I called, I expected to have to set an appointment, but Haik said that he was just on his way back to our area and he could make the service call very quickly.  We met him at the rental and he looked at the fixture and said that it appeared to be just an accumulation of 'dust and dead bugs in the fixture.'  He vacuumed it out and then checked the fixture, its switch and its function and said that it now appeared to be just fine.  No problem.

Then, he noticed that another switch (right next to the first one) was operating erratically.  We hadn't been aware of this as a problem, but once he pointed it out it was obvious he was correct.  He changed out the switch and that now operates perfectly.

He started to leave, and I stopped him...and said,  "wait a minute, what do I owe you."  To which he responded "nothing, it was very minor."

What an overall surprise.  He was prompt, professional, courteous...and ON TOP OF THAT, he didn't even charge me.  I know that this is an exception, but I will certainly use him for any electrical problem that we have in the future and recommend him to anyone in the greater Glendale, CA area.

"Wilson Electric is very honest, reliable and responsive and reasonable. What a pleasure it was to deal with them.My rental had no heating. When I purchased it I was told it had heating in the ceiling and it didn't work. I also thought I would need to upgrade my circuit breaker box. Steve came out, checked it out and said all I needed was thermostats and two circuit breakers as the original ones for the bedrooms had been used for the washer and dryer hookups."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

Yes, many professionals offer surge protection to safeguard equipment from power fluctuations.

No, technically, the original Federal Pacific (FPE) breakers are no longer available. Stab-Lok® circuit breakers from the now-defunct Federal Pacific Electric Company (FPE) are no longer produced. However, the trademark and manufacture of the Stab-Lok® brand of breakers has been passed through a series of parent and subsidiary companies. Black and gray versions of the circuit breaker have been produced by these companies, with sales rights in the U.S. and Canada shifting back and forth.

It's possible to get power from an outlet for a light switch. However, you must install additional wiring to get current from the outlet to the switch and from the switch to the load it will control. Also, you must ensure that the outlet's electrical circuit can accommodate the additional demand.
