"“GO GREEN” I honestly thought it was a football team. But nope… it’s GO GREEN ELECTRIC company, and they’re the real winners! Ido showed up on time (already a victory), explained everything clearly, and even recommended something that would fix another electrical problem I didn’t know how to describe. The price was fair, and the work was excellent. In the end, Green definitely WON. So yes, GO GREEN not a football team, but an electric company I would highly recommend!"

"I recently hired Gary to upgrade my electrical panel, install new backyard lighting, redo some outdated wiring throughout my home and install a sauna — and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the beginning, he was incredibly professional, communicative, and punctual. He took the time to walk me through the scope of work, explained everything clearly, and provided a fair and transparent estimate. The backyard lighting installation turned out beautifully and as for the wiring, he did a clean and thorough job, correcting issues I didn’t even know existed. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and I really appreciated the attention to detail and safety. Highly recommend Gary if you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy electrician. "

"Electric Zone is a company that I would highly recommend. Haik is a consummate professional. He and his team are punctual, efficient, polite and very patient when answering questions. Previously, I had work done on my house and the contractor just left the project without completing it. The part that was not completed was causing a lot of problems and stress for my family. The circuit breaker kept tripping and one of the junction boxes melted an electric oven that we used to use. Electric Zone took care of the entire problem and left their entire working area perfectly clean. They left no debris anywhere. My family and I are extremely happy with Haik and the entire team from Electric Zone."

Established in 1981 in the northeast Los Angeles area, I have been in the electrical field since completing my coursework at Los Angeles Trade Tech in 1977. I worked for other contractors gaining valuable experience before starting my own business in 1979. We are a growing business serving Los Angeles and surrounding areas. We work on both large and small jobs. We do both new construction and remodeling work. We try to always make the customers happy, feeling that this is the best way of creating a good and lasting working relationship.

"Mr. Johnson and his crew have performed a fewjobs from lighting installations, to doorbell repair, to rewiring. Every job has been done well and at a reasonable price. The workers were respectful and very helpful at explaining the work they did before they left. What really set this outfit apart is Mr. Johnson himself. He always returns calls, his crews show up on time and perform the work expediently. On top of this, when I have had questions about other electrical concerns, Mr. Johnson takes time to have a phone call to consult on the issue. Mr. Johnson and his company are of high integrity and I would highly recommend them for any residential electric work."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

While it’s not possible to put a main breaker in a main lug panel, it’s possible to convert a main lug to a main breaker. Converting to a main breaker panel offers increased safety, simplified control, compliance with building codes, and adaptation to changing electrical needs, especially when adding new circuits or upgrading the system.

No. When applied properly, electrical tape is designed to be an insulating material with high resistance to electricity. It can reinforce electrical connections and act as a safeguard to help ensure the electrical current stays within its designated pathways. However, it’s important to note that it can break down over time and you should never use it as a replacement for electrical wire caps.

Replacing your electrical meter box is critical because it helps prevent damage to your home’s electrical system or possible safety hazards. Plus, you won’t have to deal with frequent power tripping, flickering lights, or the scorched scents that an old or damaged meter box may cause.

An average, 400-square-foot electric heated driveways consume approximately $3 per hour in terms of electricity. The price may slightly fluctuate depending on your local energy cost. A simple formula to calculate your heated driveway’s total wattage consumption is by multiplying the square footage by 50 watts and then dividing it by 1,000 to get the kilowatt number. Multiply that with your local energy cost per hour and there you have the hourly operating cost.

A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.
