"I got a call back within a few minutes of entering the information in HomeAdvisor. Wow. Did not expect such a fast response time. I told Frank about the light job and he was able to provide me a bid on the phone. My schedule/availability is limited, so appreciated his flexibility. He called me in the morning of the appointment to make sure had all equipment needed for the job. Very professional demeanor and got the job done quickly. I asked to help me with another electric problem and he fixed that for me too. 5 star service beginning to end. Fair price for the work done. Project result was great, so 5 star on quality of work. F.J. Lee Electric gets my highest recommendation."

"Great. Based in Grass Valley. Small family business. Drove down to Citrus Heights and fixed my panel with no problems. Even offered a generator when my power was out. We had to wait awhile for SMUD coordinate their inspectors."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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.

You’ll need to locate and hire an electrician near you if there’s an electrical project you don’t feel comfortable tackling yourself. Generally, look for a contractor that specializes in the type of appliance or component that you need help with. For wiring, outlets and similar projects, a general electrician is your best bet. For larger remodels, a general contractor will often take care of electrical projects via subcontractors.

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

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

If you need to run a wire from the meter to the breaker box, start by turning off the power using the main switch to avoid injury risks from live wires. Then, locate the ground wire from your meter and connect it to the ground bar of the breaker box. Connect the neutral wire using the same method to improve your circuit efficiency.

Next, locate the hot wires running from the main switch to the meter. To connect them to the correct terminals from meter to breaker, unscrew the nuts of the breaker hotwire terminals, insert the positive hotwire, and ensure it’s firmly attached. Finally, secure the wires with electrical tape and wire tie cables before re-securing your breaker box. Keep in mind that this process can be dangerous, so don’t hesitate to hire a local electrician.
